The newest branch of Eighteen Chefs provides an environment suitable for teenagers and group gatherings; with all the popular pop music that is playing in the background and the hip and trendy furnishings, it is definitely attracting a lot of attention with teens hanging out in the Orchard area or even those whom had just finished watching a movie within Cineleisure. When we arrived for dinner at near 8pm on a Saturday evening, there was a huge crowd queueing up waiting to be seated, and a lot of other people who were walking past also took notice of the restaurant. While we were waiting for seats, we were asked to read the menu and write our orders on the order chit while given a seat with a smaller table to wait for our table. Once we got our table, we had to proceed to the counter with the order chit to make payment before waiting for food to get served.

 The Calamari Rings was beyond average; the light batter provided some crispiness while not seemingly too crunchy or hard. The calamari was also quite bouncy and felt pretty good in it’s texture.

 There were many items on the menu; some oriental while some are western. One of my friends and I decided to go for Build-Your-Own-Pasta, where one would be require to make a choice between the type of pasta/baked pasta/baked rice they prefer, along with the sauces and condiments that goes along with it. I went along with Pasta with Red White Sauce, Chicken Slices and Mushroom, which was a classic combination. The Red White sauce provided a sour tang from the tomato. The chicken slices felt pretty damp and the mushrooms tasted like canned button mushrooms which was a bit of a letdown.

 The other friend ordered Fish & Chips. According to how it was written in the menu, it was fried with a root beer batter, and that really shows when you have a bite of the fried fish. The familiar flavour of root beer just spreads in your mouth as you bite into the fish; it was a pretty unique flavour combined with the fish, though it seemed a tad adventurous to me and did not really suit my taste buds even if it was really outstanding compared to my pasta. The fries served with this dish seemed a bit too healthy somehow; would like it to be slightly salted as compared to being served as it is from the fryer without any seasoning.
