Cheap cheap set lunch as early dinner
Smile 2013-05-15

I was off work early and decided to have early dinner at Lenas MOF. It is 10mins to 5.30pm and their weekday set lunch menu was still available. I chose to have the Chicken chop pasta $8.90++ (choice of either spaghetti or Penne) and picked the tomato based sauce. I have member card so I ordered ice green tea as my free drink. The pasta was done al dente...the tomato sauce goes well with the chicken chop..cheap and good smile

I love Lenas! :D
Smile 2013-02-09

I liked Italian food, so I went to Lenas to try some of their food out. The experience was unexpectedly very enjoyable! shocked

Service : The staff were great, I brought my baby brother over and he was very restless, but the staff were very patient with him. I was very pleased with their service. Our food were brought over quite quickly, so there was no problem with that. smile

Food : I ordered a bolognese baked rice. I didn't try anything like that before, so I didn't know what to expect. After I broke down the layer of cheese above the rice, I ate a little from my spoon and then I felt hot tomato sauce go down my throat. It was wonderful. I cleaned up the whole plate. The food was great! lol

Environment/Clean : The lighting was just perfect, a little dim, but it set the atmosphere. It was very clean, spotless in fact. Once I went in, I smelt Italian and Japanese food. The environment was really nice.

Price : My food was a little pricey, but it was worth it, I guess.

A New Dining Experience
Smile 2013-01-27

Had a wonderful dining experience at the brand new Lenas last week. In was indeed a totally new experience as it was a totally new concept. Lenas used to serve western delights but now, there are other selections in the new menu. Japanese food from MOF menu as well.

When we were shown to our seats, we were given 2 sets of menus. From main course to drinks and desserts, we took a long time before we decided as we were spoilt for choices. I wanna eat the spicy miso ramen, katsu don, carbonara and many many more....

 

In the end we decided for hot stone rice. Not the usual ones, but with cheese instead.
my friend had a stir fry beef with cheesy fried rice.

 

While I had a sliced pork with cheesy fried rice.
What's unique about this dish? Other than being serve on hot stone like Korean style, this dish has lots of other ingredients like sweet corn, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbages...all the healthy ingredients. Last but not least my favorite pork belly.

While hot, the melted cheese are "pulley" yet messy. Rice on the bottom of the pan are slightly burned and crispy, giving out a super fragrant taste.

We were quite full after finishing the rice but there's definitely room for dessert. I been wanting to try Japanese dessert from MOF since it's establishment years ago but haven got a chance. Finally, today is the day!

 

we shared a matcha ice cream with red bean sauce, served with glutinous rice balls and jelly. A perfect match between the mild bitter matcha ice cream and sweet red bean sauce. Lovely! We will be back for more...

Lenas
Smile 2013-01-24

Went to Lenas At Serangoon Nex for dinner

I am quite impressed by the huge variety of dishes they offered.

We ordered a Parma ham pizza with arugula leaves and a smoke salmon bruschetta.

The portion of the food was quite huge and it was quite tasty too.

Nice place to have gatherings but the service waiting time can be quite long especially when the restaurant was packed with diners.

Carbonara
Smile 2012-10-30

 

Lenas stocks my favourite pasta ever. The Carbonara. I always add an egg for an additional dollar when I dine in at lenas. Their carbonara sauce is rich and really tasty and delicious. The bacon is crisp and tasty and together with tobasco sauce, makes a really great combination. Really good. This costs about $14 without GST and service charge

Potato Balls
Smile 2012-07-29

This is one of my favourite snack items from this restaurant. The potato is very smooth and moist in texture and is full of the nice fragrant from the different types of seasoning ingredients in it. It has been deep fried till really nice golden brown colour and it is also not too oily nor salty as well. Dip in the cheese sauce given by them, this snack is simply so delicious and usually I will order at least 2 plates of it to share with my family members.

Lenas
Just OK 2012-07-24

 

Steak at lenas. I had it in medium rare. The meat was pretty tough for my liking. It was more like medium instead of medium rare. The sauce was a bit bland. All in all, i didn't like it at all. The sides are a tad too dry. There's a slice of tomato at the bottom and some garnishes at the sides, perhaps parsley. Given a choice, i will not order this. Their service was acceptable. Nothing to rave about.

First time here at their new outlet in NEX. I had Pan Fried Dory Baked Rice. I decided on this as i love grilled or baked fish and cheese. The fish meat is very tender and the skin is pretty crispy especially at the sides. In fact, it is very flavourful and cooked to absolute perfection. The rice is pretty soft too. Very well cooked i must say. The portion however, is a little too much for me. The entire dish is topped with thick gooey cheese which is the best part!

yummy
Smile 2012-06-20

i went to lenas with my friends for dessert. I ordered their chocolate and almond dessert pizza. The pizza is the thin crust kind. It is so thin that it tasted a little like biscuit. the chocolate is very sweet, goes well with the pizza. The almond flakes makes the pizza taste very nice, very crunchy. They topped it off with a scoop of ice cream. The ice cream melts on the warm pizza, making it taste very creamy. I love the creaminess of the melted ice cream on the chocolate. It was so sinful but it was really delicious.

average Mushroom soup
Just OK 2012-04-18

My housemate and I didn't want to cook dinner on Saturday, so we headed to Nex. Man. it was crowded on a Saturday night. THey probably had the same agenda as us--which was to have dinner there.

   mushroom soup

there were so many choices, but we couldn't settle on a restaurant. After walking for about an hour, we just chose Lenas. Maybe I was just too tired, so I wasn't in the mood to eat anymore. So, I just had the mushroom soup.

Service was quite fast, since it was just soup. But to my disappointment, it wasn't as hot as I would've wanted it to be. I preferred it to be thicker and creamier too. there was one piece of bread served with it.

It was an average meal.1

lunch
Smile 2012-03-18

The group of us decided to go to Lenas for our lunch. There is also the buffet available, but we chose the ala carte since we didn't really prepare our stomachs for a buffet feast. There are a lot of different main courses from pizzas to baked rice to pasta. I decided to go for the spicy mushroom pasta. The spicyness level isn't as spicy as I expected it to be, but the pasta was very well flavoured. More importantly, the mushrooms are juicy and are bursting with flavour which is good. The service level is acceptable, our dishes arrived quite fast.

my birthday treat
Just OK 2012-01-09

This is my first time dining in this restaurant. It was chosen after a friend's friend reccomendation. The ambient was alright just I thought the music was rather "diluted" by the noise outside as I sat near the entrance.

Service was rather good and efficient. Pricing was however a little too high as the amount of food that I got was very little.

I ate the smoked duck spaghetti with cream based. I was expecting the taste to be different but it turned out to be just like the normal kind of spaghetti.

Pizza and more!
Smile 2011-11-30

By the time I remembered to take a photo, the pizza was almost gone. That's how good it was. We ordered the supreme and the pepperoni supreme -- both were equally the same thing, except that one had more pepperoni than the other. However, both were very good. The crust was thin and crispy, just the way I like it, and served piping hot.

It wasn't dinner time yet when we dropped by, so service was quite fast. The staff was also very accommodating, helping us and the two kids get settled.

Disappointed
Cries 2011-09-25

Gathering with colleagues at Lenas. We decided to orderd buffet. When we received our food, we was very disappointed of the spaghetti we've ordered, it did not look appetising at all. The spaghetti was not even fully cooked and it was a bit and even tasteless. The rice was not good too. The meat was of very little portion. Overall, it is a bad experience there. First time and will be my last time there.

Lenas
Smile 2011-08-16

First time at Lenas. Just learnt that it was associated with MOF, the MOF privilege card is applicable for usage at Lenas as well.

I tried to call for reservations previously but nobody answered my call. Nonetheless, upon arrival, my family and I were promptly ushered to our seats. There were so many food choices available in the menu, including the sauces and sides. We took some time to decide on our mains, sides and desserts. The waitress attending to us was very patient with our orders, and even recommended sauces and sides to complement our mains. Good service!

I ordered a Fungi Pasta, Potato Wedges and a Mushroom Soup Bread Bowl. The creamy Fungi Pasta was good!! So as the Potato Wedges and Mushroom Soup! However, I won't be ordering the mushroom soup bread bowl for my next visit as I wouldn't want to eat the whole bread bowl myself again!!! The thing about bread bowls is this: Once I order it, I can't finish it myself, but I can't bear to discard it cos' it looks too cute to be thrown away. Solution? Gorge myself with it!

Total Cost: Fungi Pasta - $10+
Potato Wedges - $6+
Mushroom Soup Bread Bowl - $8+
