Sauce

Was recommended this place for a Sat chill-out - not a bad choice at all!

Occupying the previous 7atenine, Sauce has the advantage of having a 'waterfront' spot amongst the many other chillout places at Esplanade. The whitish decor has been replaced with a rather whimsical look complete with fake grass and mismatched but somehow quirky furniture which was actually quite nice for me. On a good day, the alfresco can be quite cool - also nice for people watching!

Sauteed mushrooms ($5) - nicely sauteed big button mushrooms although a tad heavy on the oil. Kudos to the chef for offering to re-do the dish for us as the first bowl has too much water / oil in it.

Chicken wings ($5) - Very nice! They use some sort of very fine flour from Japan to coat the wings and the result is absolutely delicious. They also very thoughtfully cut each mid-wing in half so its easier to eat. The spices dip accompanying it is also very good, with hints of ginger and garlic.

Spinach quesadilla ($5) - Alright with nothing to complain but gets tough when its no longer warm.

Asahi Premium ($9nett) - Their alcohol promotion is very good, with some offers at $5 for half pints but the Asahi premium is a good deal at $9 per print. And they are one of the rare places to have Asahi on tap.

The above lite bites are $5 each as each order of alcohol entitles you to order selected items at $5 as a promo price, good deal!

Service was nothing to complain about generally. But for the nice food and competitive prices, it was a pity that the place was less than half full on a Sat night. This place needs more publicity! I'll be back to try their mains.
