Just like i mentioned in my title, that sums up my experience dining at charly-t last night. First about the interior, it looks small from the outside but only fellow diners will know they actually hv an alfresco area with sofa couches and also a large flat screen tv playing MioStadium soccer shows. its also ventilated with fans but not sure if you can smoke there though. I took the indoor seats though, and gives you a partial view to the kitchen seeing the chefs but you can't really see what th
I took the indoor seats though, and gives you a partial view to the kitchen seeing the chefs but you can't really see what they are preparing though. Proceeded to order and pay at the counter, then collect a number and wait to be served. We ordered the usual chicken cordon bleu $16.50, 1/4 kansas city bbq chicken with 2 sides $15 and molten chocolate cake $9. The cordon bleu is served simple, with the breaded chicken dish with some fries as side dish, lemon slices and tatare sauce. Due to its nature of cooking. its hot inside but that's also the nice part. My sides were potato with bacon bits and macroni and cheese. This is where the standard seems to be different, the sides here are much tastier and well portioned than handy road. My chicken also came wel roasted yet not leaving the chicken meat too dry, something which i did not find at handy road outlet as well. But i will still have to gripe about the tiny little saucer they used to hold the accompanying dips, i ended up having to call for top up 3 times, till even the waiter seems impatient (which i give a thumbs-down for that). Molten cake was chocolate based with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and slices of strawberry, definitely a recommendation for the sweet tooth.
Service wise its mixed reaction, they were nice and courteous and gets your orders fulfilled but it was sometimes hard to get them, i have to raise my hand and gesture several times before someone eventually comes into the dining area and notice a customer calling for service. most of the time, they were not seen outside waitering but at the back kitchen. On one occasion, the kitchen staff notice even hv to prompt the waitering staff to come up after seeing me raise my hand for quite sometime and waiting in vain for someone to appear.
