Bad choice. Cry Aug 23, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Korean | Hawker Centre

 
This dish was meant to share with my boyfriend and I, probably I would say this is the worst Korean BBQ spicy chicken I have ate. The chicken meat tastes sour and it was not spicy at all and what's more: it's very cold.

I'm not a very fussy eater however, I couldn't even finish the third mouthful of the chicken. The food here ain't cheap at all, this meal costs $6. The soup is cold too. I would never want to have it again.

I was pretty upset because my boyfriend, his family and I was standing outside jack's place for about 10 mins and no one served us. Not only that, when I walked into the main entrance and waited, no one served us too. Until, I saw one of the waiter, I waved and said, "TABLE FOR 5" I was really upset because I'm pretty hungry at that point of time too.

So passed us the menus, and one of their senior manger came over to take the order. We were quite pressurize as we feel bad to let him wait while we are deciding, I mean, there are really a huge variety to decide from! I quickly made a choice and I regretted.

The senior manger is pretty rude too, my boyfriend's mom was saying "Everyone taking beef?" So he said, "Come jack's place of course take beef, if not take what?" I'm like trying to calm myself down at his rude statement. Well, does he mean that Jack's place only serve good beef and everything else is bad? I doubt so, right?

I made my order for steak and fish combo, coming with a Lobster Bisque, coke float as they're having a promotion for $7.90 for 2 coke float.

 

 
Coke float (2 for $7.90)
It was bad, the layout was not done nicely and the coke lost its gassy taste too. Well, what to expect when you pay for $7.90 for 2?

 
Lobster Bisque ($5.90)

Oh, seriously, the standard dropped so badly. In the past, I seriously loved jack's place lobster bisque. I was hoping to find back the taste back then because I cant find them anywhere but this is seriously a great disappointment. It does not even have the taste of lobster and the flesh of the lobster reduced.

 

 
Steak & Fish combo ($22.90)

Here comes my main dish, which is disappointing. The tenderloins are all over the steak and my fish was pretty small in piece and, it tasted very fishy though it's pan fried dory. The only thing I console myself with are the vegetable and the potato. Their potato are really awesome and it never changed at all. #Yayness for potato!

Overall, I believe there are many aspects that JEM's Jack place can improve on. These are just some of the remarks I would say.

More room for improvement. Cry Jun 27, 2013

Categories : Singaporean | Coffeeshop | Bak Kut Teh

I was looking for lighting for my new room, my dad and mom suggested Mohammad Sultan because there are many shops around that area. We were looking for a quick bite, we parked at UE square and walked over. We reached the corner of the road which is this shop which sells bak kut teh. My dad did not wanted to waste time so we decided to settle for this place for dinner.

Probably, I would say I might not come again because of the food and services. We sat down, my dad went to place the order and shortly after it's served. We have 3 bak kut teh, 1 pig liver soup, 1 preserved vegetable, 1 you tiao, 1 pig trotters and 3 rice. It cost about $40 for 3 pax, for this price I would rather spend it on Keppel Bak Kut Teh.

Let's start with the first service they serve us. They placed the food down pretty unwillingly, and my dad was almost got burnt by the soup. The server did not even apologise. Pretty bad service. We wanted to order drinks, we place our hands up but no one came over until about 10 mins later. We tried to convince ourselves they were busy.

The pork ribs was horrible, the meat is so stiff, the soup taste like pepper with water and nothing taste okay to me. Somehow, my dad likes the soup. He wanted more, so I told him I would help him to ask for refill. When I walk over, I was greeted by an unwelcome face "black face", I ask for more soup, she gave it so unwillingly. Well, I would pay if the refill needs to be paid for, I won't mind. But as for the bad service, I was really upset with it.

Overall, I would never never come back to a place with bad service and they don't even serve good food.

Japanese foodie. Cry Jun 21, 2013

Categories : Japanese | Sushi/Sashimi

A great lunch to do the work of the day. Filling your tummy with good that would do you good. For this meal, I think I have been overfilling my tummy that it almost exploded.

A good meal with my man, his sister and his sister boyfriend. Raving through the crowds at Jcube, browsing menus all over just to look for a specific Japanese restaurant to rest our legs and spend a few hours there. Everywhere was having a dragon-like queue and Watami probably was having the shortest queue but it was pretty packed too. The square feet of the restaurant was huge enough to fit about 50 people.

We are lazy to order different set meals hence, we just took the whole set meal for 4 pax. It cost about $169++. The serving was huge, but the food wasn't very fresh. We barely finished everything. It comes with a hotpot, a set of cold dish, a chirashi don, grill squid, clams hotplate soup.

The cold dish hotate was not even fresh. The shrimp tasted really bad. The grill squid was cold. The broth for the hotpot was pretty salty. Hmm, after all for the price I have paid, I believe we can have something much more better and worthwhile.

The staff service was really bad, they placed the wrong food at the wrong table. We wanted to order, kept our hands raising for about 10 mins ad only by then, they came to our table. Calling for bills, they're not attentive enough.

Not very good though. OK Aug 23, 2013

My siblings and I wanted to get a cake for my mom hence we decided to head to Greenwich as it's the nearest to our place. There are probably.. 4 shop which sell cakes. My sister suddenly remembered that my mom said she wanted to try the ice cream cake hence we went over to get it. Not very expensive but I would say that, it's not very worth the pricing though.

 
The whole cake looking awesome, sweet looking and there are strawberries!

 
The sponge is something like red velvet cake, not that bad but I just dont fancy hard sponges, I prefer soft and those which can melt inside your mouth and it's so saliva-drooling till I can't wait for the next mouthful bite.

 
This is how it looks after slicing everything. there are only.. 6 pieces which cost $44. However this is definitely better than Swensens and it's cheaper too!
