Carol and myself were keen to order the lemongrass tea which clement let us sample previous and it was nice... but sadly it was out.
carol went for a (ok, i cannot remember the name of the drink she ordered, some elderflower drink or something)...
this is really nice! its got soda as well. pretty good.
clement offered to make me something not on the menu coz the lemongrass tea was out....
its some promegrande tea .. a little sour. its not bad but i prefer carol's one.
jacie and anna went for the set lunch. today's set lunch is quite nice!
didnt try the soup but the chicken was not bad. the dessert was longan red date jello and it was really good! all 4 of us liked it!
but at the point of this jello, one of the staff totally got carol mad that she said she's never coming back here despite how she likes the food. it was the last straw for her. first straw was when we requested for a change of water coz jacie felt the container looked a little musky but we were told its just water added on or something. then it was when we requested for a different angle when we requested for a group pic. food today took very long to arrive (about 45 mins). finally was when she went to request for two extra spoons to share the jello, the server gave her a 'you-are-so-troublesome' look. she almost wanted to bar me from coming too! haha
but since this is a one off incident for me, i would think i will not rule this place off. and maybe like clement said, they were at work since 6am today so probably it was a tiring day for him and the staffs. Yet, as a customer, i don't appreciate the negativity being rubbed on us because we are patrons after all. We are there to enjoy a good meal.
back to food, finally today clement has salmon for me to order my saffron cream salmon with portobello. i've been missing it! and the past few times i came back for it, they didnt have salmon available. and because carol has tried it as well, she was also eager to order the same item!
sadly, the portobello mushroom size has strinked compared to the last time we had it. Also, the salmon's doneness was a little different today compared to the past. it is slightly more done compared to the past where it is just right. the inside is still semi raw..
but overall, i must say the dish is still nice and still something i will crave for. the saffron cream is yummy!
and finally, we ordered the hibiscus filo pastry....
this is AMAZING!!
its very good! still as good as ever. the pastry is the best! Salivating whilst i am blogging about it!
