Ambush in a little corner OK Feb 19, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : European | Pasta | Paella

It was a weekday Lunch as usual and we decided to try out Plaza Sing's new wing extension. Have been hearing from friends that there are quite a few selection of eateries there. Just before lunch, we spotted a Groupon deal that offers $30 deal for $15 at Ambush so this settles our lunch venue.

The placed was tucked at a corner at level 4 and we thought it really suits the name; Ambushed at a little corner..luckily there's sign post indicating the various restuarants located deeper away from the level roundabout. We reach there at about 12.30 pm and there was not much lunch crowd and the place was quite spacious.

We ordered the Ambush Paella and its pretty decent. It suits my palette as I prefer the rice to be more moist and the portion is generous. Ladies with relatively smaller appetie might find it a struggle to finish it.

The next dish that arrive is the appetiser, Cheese puff and mushroom. The puff with cheese dip complements each other well as the dip is not over powering with the cheese after that. However, the fried mushroom is quite greasy despite its nice appearance. There is traces of oil left behinf on the trya and when I cut the mushroom, I can the oil coming out as well. The fried mushroom is too oily for my liking but t he cheesy puff is the saving grace for that appetiser.

Another main that we ordered is the fried chicken Aglio Oglio spaghetti. The chicken pieces given are quite a fair bit but taste is average. The chicken is deep fried without being too dry but it lacks the extra punch to bring out the whole dish. Its like eating the fried chicken and spaghetti separately.

Overall, its a dinning place with average food and affordable prices. Without the groupon deal, maybe it will be a while before I return. However, the staff

 

 
is friendly and customer orientated and is faastt to bring your request.

We were thinking of where to have dinner on a weekday night without having to fight crowd. LG then mentioned Chock full of beans, saying that the place is quite well known for their latte art (I'm a lover of that). Reached there at about 8pm as we spend quite a while to look for the place and turns out to be just besides the open carpark (the first shop houses along the stretch of that Tiong Bahru Ye Zi mei Bao). There was not too much of a crowd and we guessed it was due to a weekday and there was a heavy downpour earlier. Anyway it suits us as this is exactly what we were looking for; a nice cosy cafe for the evening. However, I do recomend making reservation first as the seating capacity is quite limited.

 


We ordered the Latte, of course and we couldn't really make up the design until the person told us that its a snake (to be in line withthe upcoming cny?). It looked like one of the pokemon character but was quite cute nevertheless.

 


The first side that came is the Nachos cheese and it tasted alright. Well I guess it's quite hard to go wrong for this snack. Following was the meatball and we were expecting Ikea kind of meatball but theirs was with tomato pasta sauce and lightly toasted bread served at the side. Meatball is cooked just right and the toasted bread goes well with the sauce.

 

 


We wanted to have the all day big breakfast and turns out that they only serve it on weekends. We then ordered the Chicken wrap and smoked salmon sandwhich. LG likes the wrap as the grilled chicken was nicely seasoned with herbs together with the refreshing salad. Salmon sandwich is average.

 

 


It was a nice experience overall and we decide to return for their big breakfast one of these days.
