Marmalade Pantry

The tai tais are celebrating my birthday for me today at Marmalade Pantry.

the interior of the restaurant...



much smaller than the branch at Palais.



here's what we ordered....



crab caesar salad...



this is super good. the veg were fresh and the sauce was just right. not overly thick or thin. taste wise was also great. the crab meat was generous and scrumptious! The pine nuts added a fragrant touch with every bite. YUM YUM!

aglio olio pasta with kurobuta pork...



while the pasta tasted good. i think the kurobuta pork was quite disappointing. i didnt find it tender (maybe moomba set my expectations too high) and the crispy parts werent crispy. i think i'd have liked the philip street's roast pork much better. haha

we also shared a beef sandwich...



done medium well...



the sandwich was good too. i'd have preferred the beef to be done medium rare. but having blogging this only one week later, to be honest i cannot remember the taste so i guess it wasnt wowing but just nice.

among the 3 i think my fav was the crab caesar. im still craving for it now!

the ladies were very interested in their desserts coz their colleagues and online research have told them that marmalade serves really good desserts.

we shared a mango and lemon grass crumble...



although i dun take mango but i chose this coz i remember loving it when i came wif carol last year and its the only crumble thingy they have. its the crumb bits dat i love of this item. the crumb bits mixed with the ice cream is simply mama mia~! if anyone from marmalade happens to read this, can you pretty pls innovate and come up with some other crumble so that non-mango eaters like myself can order it? haha

toffee date pudding ...



i'd say this is one of their signature dessert. today's one is much nicer than the previous few times i had this from marmalade. its nice. but in comparison i still much prefer broth's version. probably coz broth uses sour cream and it goes fabulously well wif the butterscotch.

thank cute for the treat!
