Attracted by their avengers-themed burger set groupon deal, I took great pains to persuade T to drop by with me on a Sunday early afternoon, and found the café absolutely deserted. Frankly speaking, I was really surprised, judging from the fact that there is a groupon deal ongoing and I've expected a huge crowd on a Sunday.
And first up, their service didn't really impress me much. I had to walk to the counter myself to get a menu from the staff, and get reminded by him, albeit in a very polite tone, that I have to return to the counter to make my orders.
And the real first impression killer was the menu. The menu book really.... sucks.
It's just a worn out clear folder slotted with crumpled papers with dish names and prices printed on them. You don't even get to see what the dishes (will/may) look like when served.
Avenger's Burger SetThe result of a collaboration between a few brilliant local chefs, these colourful buns are made from natural ingredients, with no artifical flavouring, no gluten and no trans fat.
Each set comes in 4 different coloured mini burger but there's only 3 flavours to choose from: Grilled Chicken, Grilled Fish or Classic Beef.
Needless to say, this is indeed an instagram-worthy dish! Such adorable looking mini burgers with such bright colours. But the good things end here.
The buns are pretty, but dry and hard, especially the outer skin. There seems to have a slight tinge of flavour in the buns (especially the orange bun, with a hint of citrus flavour) but it really didn't add any brownie points to the dish.
The grilled chicken was pretty poorly done, with a strong 'frozen chicken taste' to it and thick globs of fats under the slightly slimy skin (the chicken definitely wasn't fully cooked on the grill, but probably in a microwave).
Grilled fish, albeit better than the chicken, was still nowhere near good. Just, acceptable and not as bad as the chicken.
The french fries were also slightly soggy and dry inside. Didn't taste like they were freshly out from the fryer either.
Rocky Beef BurgerT chose a beef burger and his only comment was: At least the food is (temperature) hot.
