Healthy - Aiwo (Levine's Birthday Celebration)

Today, dar dar and myself met up with Levine to pass her her birthday present coz we didnt manage to attend her birthday celebration last week.

Dar dar was suggesting we go check out this new place at Raffles City called Aiwo.

She even gave me the webby http://www.aiwo.com.sg/ . From the webby, the food did indeed look appetising.


Its located at 2nd level of Raffles City Shopping Centre.




Once seated, we noticed that they had a rather interesting ... erm.. concept for their utensils.



They are placed in a drawer underneath the glass table. Interesting eh?

They had the ala carte menu, the unlimited feast - which u basically get a soup, pita bread, a starter and all you can eat from the conveyor belt.



Another one called Omega Treats which included wat the unlimited feast had with Lemon Charmoula Cod Accompanied with Grilled Veg or Tandoori Glazed Mushrooms With Assorted Florets and dessert with coffee or tea. (aiya.. actually all these info u can get from the webby... haha)

We went for the Unlimited feast. $17+ per person.

We were first served our soup.

Disclaimer: The following is all based on my personal preference. You MAY like the food there.



Ah.. yes, our soup. Tasted abit curry-ish but its not spicy. Beside it was the pita bread.. that looked like nachos... but it was.. soft.

I was the first to try it. and when Levine picked it up..

she went..."what is this?"

Me:"Nacho loh"

I purposely wait till she took a bite before i added on..

Me:" and its soft "

wahahhahaha....



She gave me a very sian and seh look after that. The sauces to go with it, one was tomato paste and the one one tasted abit like the sweet sauce u get from chee cheong fan! haha...

and then was our starter.. or so called side dish...



The shrimp from the starter was like the tastiest thing i had for the night. Den the green green ball u see, its actually barley balls. Looks like rice right? No, its barley! Pretty tasteless. Duno why its green in colour and has bits of chilli in it.. but still pretty tasteless to me.

Den we began attacking the converyor belt....



The items all LOOKED very appetising and sounded appetising. They SOUND appetising... they have names like .... Asian Barbeque Chicken, Ginger and duno wat fish, Shrimp and crab bolognese, Chicken Satay, etc etc.

Let's just say they were not to our likings. They were not horrible of coz. Just... erm.. a nice word to use is.. HEALTHY. And also pretty indian-ish.

My favourite has gotta be this skewer of Apple, Mushroom, Green Pepper (you can see it on the last pic). But i only eat the apple and mushroom and i dun finish up the rest. The fish was... can eat loh... The chicken satay and asian barbeque chicken was.. too hard for my liking.

We were tempted to order their mains which was some seafood platter thingy but decided not to. Sekali same no taste waste money!

But since dar dar had this voucher for 1 for 1 dessert, we ordered the dessert..



Even their brownie and muffins were healthy kind? Very HEALTHY LOH. Not very sweet... n its weird to mix brownie with sorbert?

But overall, its an experience mah. Just dat we are.. not the healthy type.
