frutti de mare OK Dec 22, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Spanish | French | Bars/Lounges | Restaurant

 
After dinner, I was still a tad hungry so we went to Concetto nearby to share this frutti de mare ($14.90), which was the chef's recommendation. It's basically fettucine with pink arrabbiata sauce, served with prawn, squid and shredded crabmeat. It did not wow me though but my partner loved it. Not sure what it meant by pink.. but it tasted like tomato based sauce. Fettucine was done al dente. Sauce had an even consistency and wasn't too thick nor watery. They were not stingy with the crabmeat too. I probably won't be getting this again though as I find it to be average.

Dessert  Smile Dec 22, 2014   (Related Review)

Categories : Café | Desserts and Cakes

Went in a group of 5 and waiting time was supposedly over an hour but luckily we managed to get seats in about 15 minutes and our waffles surprisingly came within 15 minutes too. 

 
We had the earl grey lavender flavour and dark chocolate flavour ($8.80 for one waffle slice and one serving of soft serve ice-cream). Friends commented that the dark chocolate ice-cream wasn't "dark" enough as it was milky and sweet. I felt that it was fine but its bitterness was very subtle. The earl grey lavender was sweet, maybe a little too sweet for me but I appreciated the distinct taste of lavender. The waffles were still good as usual, crisp, soft, and fluffy, and went well with the sweet maple syrup.. Fruits were on the sour side. 

 
Cakes looked delicious but not many people ordered them.. We tried their matcha cake which is going for $7.90 (quite expensive) but it is yummy! The matcha sponge was very soft and airy, with a light matcha flavour (not the rich kind). I supposed that's cream cheese.. it complemented the matcha well too. Worth the try if you love matcha!

Will be back to try their other cakes! lol

Dinner Smile Dec 22, 2014

This (peanut butter & banana) smoothie ($9) has almond, peanut butter, milk, and banana in it. There were some larger chunks of banana in it which were not blended in well but overall it still tasted good. it was slightly sour and wasn't overly sweet. The almond taste was very faint though but the peanut butter flavour wasn't overwhelming.

 
Saffron Seafood stew $25: Stew was very good and wasn't too salty.etc. The seafood was fresh but some clams had the grainy texture when bit into it. Prawns were a little soft, perhaps undercooked, but fresh. The bread was slightly crisp and went well with the stew too. The snapper fish was tender and soft. Overall, it's worth a try.

 
Beef goulash (either $21 or $23): Thick chunks of beef, very well flavoured and tender. The spaetzle was yummy but as every bit was filled with the flavour of the goulash, the richness of the taste made it a tad cloying so it's better to share.

Prices are on the high side but they do serve some comfort food.

Roast duck rice Smile Dec 22, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Roasted Meat

 
Roast duck rice $4.20: Duck meat was tender and the duck skin was flavourful as well. The chilli was rather spicy and slightly tangy. The duck gravy was flavourful and complemented the otherwise dry rice well. Soup on the other hand seemed to be ladened with msg and was quite oily too.

 
Teh ping: $1.10: It was very diluted and lacked flavour. The price is however cheap as it is located in town. Won't be getting it again though.

Service was fast.

Basil chicken set Smile Dec 22, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Thai | Food Court | Chinese Soup

Settled for a quick meal here at the kopitiam and I went straight for the thai food as it's one of my favourite cuisines. 

 
basil chicken with rice and tom yum soup combo for $7. If you're craving for thai food and want a variety in a meal, try their boat sets out which come with a small bowl of tom yum soup. The portion is just right for one person even though the bowl may seem small. There's a few mushrooms in it but still worth it as the tom yum soup is surprisingly good - appropriately sour and spicy. The basil chicken was soft and tender and the gravy was flavourful but not salty. It is also served with papaya salad which has a soft texture but not sweet though. The fried egg tastes average and the yolk is overcooked. 

I'll be back again smile
