First of all, i must say i'm no food critique and my humble opinions are more of those from an average foodie but definitely honest and truthful opinions from my good self . Went there with 2 vouchers bought online (yes i'm an addict for discounts). total i had $40 worth to spend. This is what i ordered.1. half chicken with potato salad/vegetables/macroni and cheese2. CT Fries3. Kaiserschmarrn (pancake with ice cream)total bill was $50.301. As the additions were served separately on small bow
1. half chicken with potato salad/vegetables/macroni and cheese
2. CT Fries
3. Kaiserschmarrn (pancake with ice cream)
total bill was $50.30
1. As the additions were served separately on small bowls, the half chicken was presented on a large plate with no garnish etc, this i thought can be improved. chicken quality was a tad too dry for my liking. Put it this way, you probably can't eat it without an accompanying sauce. The skin on the other hand tasted nice, not too oily and typical of the rotisserie style of cooking. Anyway i've learned that the chicken is never frozen but marinated and chilled. hard to believe that its never frozen though . The chicken comes with 3 different types of sauces bbq/sesame/spicy, only bbq and spicy appealed to me but the bad thing is they serve in in those shallow triangular saucer like MacDonald's, hardly get to enjoy it properly without making several additional top ups.
2. CT Fries have nothing to shout about and the salsa liked sauce for the fries did not complement it. Average i must say.3. Vanilla ice cream and sliced pancake with honey and raisins (heated). i would give thumbs up to this dessert. having them both together, the cold ice cream and the warm pancake seems to work well
Additional thoughts
- though it looks like a restaurant, you actually have to order via a counter like fast food restaurant then you get your food served. it could had helped the diners in ordering if there were more pictures on the menu. i noticed there were a few nice appealing food photos on the glass panel but sadly i did not see them near the menu, i may have ordered those instead.
- the fork and knife set looks classy with unconventioanlly straight angles but did not prove realistic when it comes to cutting the chicken etc
- ice water is free
- the comfy padded seats beside lcd screen is preferred
- despite having good human traffic, their business seems to be brisk, i think the owner could make some changes to improve it
- music selection does not really match the theme of the restaurant
- there is a round table at 1 corner, sitting up to 10 ppl i think, not a bad place for a gathering
- nice and clean toilets
- based on the current traffic, this outlet is nice if you want a quiet place for a quick catch up with a close friend, provided there is no big group in the house
