My partner & I visited Absinthe for dinner on a Friday evening. I arrived before her but was show to our table & offered a drink whilst I waited. I asked for a bottle of water for the table which only arrived after a different waiter asked me again. No great issue with this, I wasn't in a hurry. I was brought bread & butter to graze on whilst I waited for my other half. The bread was lovely, a selection of soft white, multigrain & French crusty baguette. This appeared to be limitless throughout the meal which was nice.
Once my partner arrived we were brought menus but had to ask for the wine list. Again, no great hardship & they had a fine & extensive collection.
We both had the bouillabaisse which wasn't quite what we expected although it was delicious. Rather than it being in a pot with garlic, cheese, mustard & croutons on the side it was individually portioned with a little plate offers small flat toasted bread(2 pieces each) & a mustard cheese & garlic pre mixed spread. A little disappointing but quite a clever idea as it took up much less space & was easier to eat. The bouillabaisse itself was lovely with fresh fish & seafood & a full flavoured broth. The other food going past all looked wonderful too.
My dessert was a chocolate fondant with berry sorbet which was really tasty. My only issue would be the fondant wasn't very runny in the middle. It went beautifully with the sorbet though & I really enjoyed it.
The service was attentive & friendly but professional and the atmosphere was really relaxed & warm. The dining room was very stylish & reflected the French theme. There was also the offer of a glass of absinthe to finish off the meal! We declined but had a very good quality pastis instead.
We were thanked & wished a good evening by the staff we passed & felt like valued guests. I would definitely go back here again. It wasn't cheap but I don't feel it was overpriced all things considered.

My friend and I were choosing a resto where to eat dinner, and then Mad Jack at Bukit Timah blew our craving on their claim of tallest burger in town – Blue Mountains!

The staff were very polite, the service were good and then bang with the food!

Yes, Blue Mountains is tall, it’s loaded of patties, pineapple, cheese, lettuce, etc. The serving is okay for sharing same as the price at is is too overpriced! The patties were below average for me. Not even juicy, tender, it tasted so bland and boring, nothing so special that you will come back for! But I have to give credit on their fries that comes on a side of the burger. The fries are really tasteful that compliment with their choice of Heinz Ketchup and Mayo.

Oh and by the way, there was no service charge and they are not serving house water. You have to order drink for yourself at the counter.

I just like Mad Jack’s creative ideas on their plate quote, ref magnet, etc.

I left with a so-so overall experience but brought home a quote and shared with friends to “don’t get MAD, get even!

My mum and i went to bugis and we are walking till we saw this small ice cream restaurant so went to try their things. We didn't order ice cream but order the two smoothie. One is blueberry Fruity Smoothies and another is strawberry Gourmet Milk Shakes. I tasted my mum order, the blueblerry Fruity Smoothies, it was kind of sour. Mine is strawberry Gourmet Milk Shakes and it taste like there is too much milk so it does not taste that great at all.

Was not expecting them to be any good, as we tried them at 313 when it first opened and it wasn't very good. But this time, it was very very good! The flavours were fantastic. You can feel the real creaminess of dairy cream and the flavours were well balanced. The strawberry did not taste artificial or sickening. It wasn't overly sweet. This is much better than Marble Slab or Cold Rock. It could even be better than Coldstone! Recommended! Love that they sell fairy floss too!

Headed for lunch with a few colleagues.

The restaurant is properly renovated, but sitting capacity is rather small. What i rather like is that you don't walk in to find a table, you ordered at the counter and they tell you which table to sit, which sorts of stop those "tissue choping" people.

We ordered the Cheesy Pork Katsu Curry Rice, Pork Shabu Shabu Curry Rice, Fish Fillet Curry Rice and the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice. You get to choose the level of Spiciness ranging from 1 to 5. According to the counter staff, you can actually request higher levels if you are game for it. The food came quite fast and the plates they used were huge.

i had the Cheesy Pork Katsu
Well, the cheese didn't melt entirely and it doesn't really go well with the curry. As you can see from the photo, the number of "rings" on the curry tells you what level of spiciness, this is a 3 flame curry sauce. at $14, it's not really worth the money.
