Vreniz and myself arranged to meet up at Chijmes because Vreniz has this card dat offers 1 for 1 at several of the dining places at Chijmes and we both love love love the ambience at Chijmes since our previous visit there.
We're planning on utilising her card to try out the places.
Today we chose Ocho, a spanish place.
We met up around 5.30 pm which is actually pretty early for dinner.
The people were actually just setting up the chairs when we got there.
They were covering the chairs with red cloths.
Vreniz also had vouchers to get $10 off drinks so we ordered one mango juice and one fresh summer.
Fresh summer is very refreshing and not very sweet with a twist of sour. It contains apple and i-cant-remember-what. Haha....
and for food, we ordered 4 items since it was 1 for 1 and the items were all in very small portions.
The pics may make the dishes look BIG but seriously, the portioning seemed pretty pathetic to us. The creamy shrimps was nice but it was such a small piece. there was only about 4-5 meatballs in the meatballs and the softshell crab was just.. ok. The cod fish was an incredibly small piece. After dividing it was just a mouthful. We felt like we were eating starters which barely filled our stomachs.
With the 1 for 1 card, our whole meal cost around $36 which is actually not cheap. Its a place where i probably won't be back again but its worth a try if you just want the experience. Service was not bad though.
As we were finishing our meal, it started to seem like its about to rain... and the poor servers who were covering the chairs wif the red cloths earlier were all busy trying to remove the covers.
