We were watching a movie at Lido and by the time it ended, it was already 9pm. Not wanting to venture too far, we decided to pop by Dome Cafe which is in the same building. After signalling for the waiter for about 3 times, someone decided to come and take our orders.I ordered the English breakfast tea ($3.90 per cup) while my partner ordered the ice lemon tea ($4.00). They uses tea leaves instead of tea bag for my tea so tea leaves were floating around the cup when it arrives. For the mains,
I ordered the English breakfast tea ($3.90 per cup) while my partner ordered the ice lemon tea ($4.00). They uses tea leaves instead of tea bag for my tea so tea leaves were floating around the cup when it arrives.
For the mains, my partner ordered Hawaiian Grilled Pork Chop ($15.90). It comes after about 15 mins from our orders. Quite slow for a restaurant that is not too crowded. There were probably only about 2 more tables ahead of us. There's 3 pieces of pork chop plus some olive flavored white rice hiding under the pork chop. Tried abit of the meat, it was quite hard.
I ordered Bacon Aglio Olio ($13.90). Came after 30 mins from my order. By the time my food came, my tea was already cold. The crew whom I think is the restaurant manager came to let us know that the kitchen is closing and if we have any last orders. Abit weird coz my main dish hasn't even been served. When we asked for my order, he said that they are preparing. The second time we chased for it, they still say it's being prepared. The third time we chase, they had to check my order to see what had not been served. Finally at 9.45pm, my long awaited pasta was served. Not sure why it took so long to prepare pasta!!! The best part was because they close at 10.30pm, the staff had to clean up the restaurant so while I was happily enjoying my food, the staff was busy sweeping the floor next to me. Not very hygienic, I should say. Maybe they should wait for diners to finish eating before they start sweeping. And if they could serve the food faster, I can eat earlier and then they can sweep earlier too. Just a thought. The Aglio Olio taste wonderful though. So it made up for the long waiting time and the annoying floor sweeping next to me when I ate.
