Modern Pacific - Tao's

Was craving for their iced rose apple tea so i asked Meina for dinner at Tao's....



Its been quite some time since my bad experience at Tao's.. but i miss their iced rose apple tea so i decided to give them another chance.

Service wise.. seriously, its still nothing compared to the first experience. Service was much slower and most of the staff din koe their product well. The signature server did make up for it though. Read on...

I ordered a iced rose apple tea first while waiting for the rest to arrive...



we ordered after they arrived.. the signature server (call him the signature server because he's the one in the advertisment) took our orders...




our starters came.. it was the bacon and mushroom gratin...



today, the gratin was not warm enuff but still not too bad..

and for their salad, they made some changes again.. these are the 2 new items...



Italian caprese salad and farm boy splendor.

The Italian caprese salad was mainly tomato and cheese. Din quite like their cheese.. its not cheesy.. very rubbery.. kinda funny.

The farmboy splendor was chicken wif egg plant and some vege. Abit sour.

I still miss their ham and spud!

Soup wise, not much changes, i stuck to my pumpkin soup...



and the mushroom...



and for mains... i was craving for steak but i definitely wun want the thin and full of bones steak they previously changed to... checked with the signature server and he said they changed back to tenderloin already.. great.. and he promised to get me a big big piece! haha

Our mains...



I had the steak.. which was not bad.. nothing to shout for but not bad already considering the price.

Constance had the pork ribs which she couldnt finish. Found it alright.

Meina had the lamb... tastes like beef... quite nice.. i tried and that mutton smell wasnt strong at all.. i liked it... but it was rather small in portion.. signature server offered to give us something extra after we feedback to him.. haha.. but we din take it up.

Yinhua had the grilled chicken.. portion and taste was great. Tender chicken.

and i got another flask of iced rose apple tea! hee

and when i tried to close back the lid after eating the apple from my rose apple tea, i probably pressed too hard, pushed the lid all the way into the flask...



in the end we showed the signature server the flask.. he gave me another new pot! hahahahahha.. means i had 3 pots for the price of one! shhhhh.. lol

and for dessert i had the sesame pudding...




the signature server came over with this for us.. a free green tea ice cream...
