- Creme brulee with a scoop of cookies & cream ice creamOh man, we were done with our main meals and down to dessert, before I remembered about taking pictures of my food!! This place is newly opened, so my friends and I decided to give it a try, seeing that they have a week day set lunch promotion. If you order a main dish (from $9.90), you'll get a free side salad and a cup of iced lemon tea. I tried the grilled rack of lamb (3 pieces with one side dish for $18) which is supposedly a recommend
- Creme brulee with a scoop of cookies & cream ice creamOh man, we were done with our main meals and down to dessert, before I remembered about taking pictures of my food!! This place is newly opened, so my friends and I decided to give it a try, seeing that they have a week day set lunch promotion.

I tried the grilled rack of lamb (3 pieces with one side dish for $18) which is supposedly a recommended dish on the menu. The waitress asked us how we wanted the lamb done. I'm more used to having that question asked for beef, even though I know that it's possible for lamb to be cooked medium rare etc. Therefore, I chose my lamb to be cooked well. Perhaps that's why our rack of lamb ended up being rather tough? The pieces given were rather small pieces too. Felt it was a waste of our money ordering this dish. We chose baked potato for our side - it was quite big and only had a dollop of sour cream added to it. Nothing special. The side salad was quite a big bowl with fresh greens, cherry tomatoes and thousand island sauce on the side.
My hubby had the grilled chicken with aglio olio ($8.90 on weekdays). It was not bad, for they were very generous with the amounts of chopped garlic and also added shaved garlic slices too. They were liberal with the use of olive oil and chilli flakes as well. It was just a tad oily and a bit on the salty side, but the sphaghetti were cooked to a nice al dente consistency. The grilled chicken pieces given were quite tender. Generally considered quite good already for an aglio olio dish.
My friend ordered a creme brulee with a scoop of cookies & cream ice cream. This dessert did not make it. The custard had too much egg in it, it was almost like eating the egg custard in an egg tart. The cookies & cream ice cream was just sweet and had no fine taste to it. Strawberries given were also too sour. Best to avoid this dessert and choose others.
We were all generally unsatisfied with the main dishes we ordered though(except for perhaps the aglio olio dish), so we probably will not revisit this place again.
