Lunching with sis & cousin and sis didn't want anything Chinese so decided to check out Marche after all these years... We decided to share: 1) Rosti - there wasn't a queue and there were already 2 Rosti sizzling in the pans. Chef gave me one and loads of sour cream. I guess the Rosti had been sizzling in the pan for a while as its more charred than usual. But I loved the burnt pieces so I didn't mind. 2) Fried Calamari - we saw a couple having this next to us and decided to 'copy' their idea. T

2) Fried Calamari - we saw a couple having this next to us and decided to 'copy' their idea. The calamari was made fresh and I went back after 7 mins to retrieve it. The crust is crispy and together with the tar tar sauce, it's not bad. But I personally feel the ones from Fish & Co are still the best around!
3) Grilled Chicken Breast - I thought to go for something light and health as I initially wanted to order the Spanish Paella. Sadly, the first fillet was not fully cooked in the middle and I returned it. Chef inspected it and didn't seemed fully convinced that he didn't cook it fully. He just informed me that he'll make a new one for me and I am to return in 7 min to collect it. I waited for an apology but none came and I just sigh inwardly and struck Marche down by another mark.... Tasty wise, it's ok with the sauce, pretty plain by itself.
4) Crepe with fruits - I was surprised when sis brought back a plate of crepe with fruits! We both don't eat fruits so had to offer cousin instead. The filling is with cheese and that was ok. Cousin had her with chocolate and was charged with a dollar extra.
We left Marche full but not exactly satisfied. I used to love dining at Marche but now I understand why the low ratings...
