I was rather surprised when I turned up at this restaurant, because the items listed on the menu is rather expensive and I doubt there will be many at this place, but I was wrong! The whole place was packed full with about a hundred people seating inside, and I'm dying to know why.Turns out that they offer a slightly different menu from their outlet at Queens Street, and is more affordable for patrons. So I got myself 2 items from the Local Lunch selection, which is their most value for dollar i
Turns out that they offer a slightly different menu from their outlet at Queens Street, and is more affordable for patrons. So I got myself 2 items from the Local Lunch selection, which is their most value for dollar item in the menu.
The first one is Crispy Chicken Cutlet. The portion is quite decent for $8, which makes it even more worthwhile considering the location of the restaurant. As the name suggest, the chicken is quite crispy but is a little dry. It comes with this lemon chili sauce to go with the chicken and I really love it, so much that I could almost forget the chicken meat is dry.Another plus point is that you can choose a side to complete the meal, such as fries, rice, or toast. I picked the fries and I wasn't disappointed. Fries was fresh and crispy and it compliments the lemon chili sauce well too.
My father had this Rendang Chicken instead, which is also $8. I tried the curry sauce only, so I shall only comment on that. The curry sauce is literally littered with coconut strips, and it's very flavourful, though sinful. However, it proves too spicy for me, and it sent me reaching for my drinks after a sip of the curry sauce. Not recommended for those who cannot take much spiciness.
Some random Taiwan news said today 8th August is father's day. I suppose the Chinese number 8 sounds like father (pa), hence the link. For the fun, I decided to get him a Mini Bundung Cupcake to celebrate this day! It looks really cute, really mini, but really expensive, at $1.50 each. It does taste special though, because nobody has came up with a bandung flavour cupcake before.I will come back to this place again if I happen to be around botanic gardens!
