If you think of it, a restaurant in a park… Is either you are lucky to locate it or you just have to walk from the starting point all the way to the end point to finally see it. We didn’t see any signage and we were in the mid point of Bishun Park. We were like left or right, we really didn’t want to head to the wrong direction and go mary-go-round. With the great invention of iphone which I am really thankful of I key in the postal code of Asmara Lifestyle. With iphone you just can’t get lost!
A really nice place to chill in the heartland area with live band and nature. I will definitely recommend this place for a night out! This is a place that you can propose to your love one too, romantic factor is there!
Mango Prawn Salad
Apple Duck Salad
I would say the apple duck salad appeal to me more as not many places offer duck salad. And the sauce of the duck salad has bacon in it, NICE!Sinful Martini – chocolate and peanut butter combination
I LOVE IT! The bartender said it was popular among the ladies. Canopy’s Asian Chicken Pasta
We were starving by the time the first main course was served especially when it was around 9+pm – that explain why this picture show a partial version. It was chicken pasta but it tasted like tuna pasta because of the spiciness. If you don’t take spicy food, DON’T ORDER.Commotion:
I felt real hot but not burning hot after finishing the pasta, so I requested one of the service staff to switch the air con on. There were 2 air cons in the room and 1 of the air cons at the back end of the room was switched off because the room was cold at the start. In the mid of our food testing, at the point in time where the live band performed the door was then slided to a side so that we could listen to the music too. The room temperature began to rise then and that’s why I requested the air con to be on. My request was granted. A moment later, the guy beside me felt that the wind from the air con was making his food cold as the fan panel of the air con is blowing in his direction so he requested to be off.
The staff was fed up, so he raised his voice at me; loud enough for the person seated in the front to hear it!
“Mdm, you want the air con on right!”
“Yes.”
“Now he want it to be off, is either you on or off it!.”
One of the Open Rice staff then came to my rescue.
“Can you make it swing”. – Meaning make the fan panel in swing mode.
“There’s no controller, is either you on or off it!”
The staff then walked to grab the brolly to aid him to press the off button reluctantly. This commotion really affect my mode of dining.
Margherita Pizza (left) & Apple Smoked Duck Pizza (right)
If you are a fan of Hawaii pizza you will like Margherita pizza. Order Apple Smoked Duck pizza if you are looking for healthy element. Both pizza were delicious and because their pizza were thin crust. Green Curry Pasta
I don’t take green curry so this dish is a big NO NO. The chef was inspired to make this dish because he just visited Thailand.4 of the 20 Open Ricers skipped the Bavarian Platter and Italian Meatball as we can’t take beef. It will be a better experience if they are mindful of the fact that not everyone take beef. They should have standby at least few plates of the fish or chicken dish for those who can’t take beef.
Overall service standard:
Beside the commotion and the unthoughtful menu, I felt that they should have 2 more serving staffs to serve us. There were only 2 servers, food was served slow – they had 1 server to serve while another server held the tray of food to be served. So by the time they finish serving the last person, the person at the front would have already finish their food. My beverages were not top up frequently.
Under Asmara Lifestyle there’s Aramsa – The Garden Spa, Canopy – Green Dining And Bar, Club Med – Bintan Island SPA and lastly Greenroom – Cafe. We were at the Greenroom while having the Canopy menu.
I will still come back to this place to dine, just that I will be caution of the staff that I had commotion with if he served me the next time round.
At a glance:
Setting: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Parking: Didn’t notice
Menu: 3/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: It was not shown
