Not worth it.  OK Feb 28, 2014

Categories : Salads/ Acai Bowl

Tried the Beef Lasagna here as it definitely looked appealing with the tomato gravy added on to the Lasagna as compared to the usual dry ones outside. The tomato gravy was rich in its flavour but to my disappointment the lasagna was executed below expectations. The beef filling was very minimal while the Lasagna layer was a bit hard.

With the price the Lasagna costed, I find it definitely not worth for its quality. Quite a flop, better to stick to the soup, salad or sandwiches.

Mediocre Hong Kong Cuisine food OK Feb 25, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Dim Sum | Roasted Meat

Canton Paradise offers Hong Kong cuisine, ranging from DimSum, Wanton noodles, Congee to meat and vegetable dishes. Among all the usual common dishes in the menu, it is the Crispy BBQ Pork Buns which is actually the main reason why I like to frequent this place lol
Headed to the branch at Jcube, the restaurant dining setting is very pleasant with comfortable cushion seats and spacious doing space.

Ordered the Crispy BBQ Pork Buns ($4.80 for 3pcs), Seafood Hor Fun ($12.80), Fish Belly Congee and Taro with Chicken and Prawn Puff ($4.80 for 3pcs). The crispy buns were, in my opinion, comparable as those in Tim Ho Wan with its flaky crust and generous portion of Char Siew filling. The Taro puffs, on the other hand, were a total flop. When it was served, it was not hot but rather cold. It just failed to deliver the usual satisfaction which comes when one bites into a steaming hot puff. The filling was not flavourful with barely discernible amount of chicken and prawn meat inside.

The Congee had a silky smooth texture but I think Crystal Jade has a better rendition of congee. The congee here tasted a tad too bland. The HorFun looked really appealing with its yellowish egg in the gravy. The noodles was slurpy smooth but gravy was not enough that some parts of the dish were dry.

Some hits and misses but on the whole, food quality is average. Other dishes, except most of the DimSum items, are worth a try. But don't expect too much despite its slightly steep pricing.

 
Spending per head: Approximately $15(Lunch)

A French cum Japanese restaurant, a new face in the market recently. My female friends recommended strongly the Famous French Toast which kept me wondering how nice it could be.

Headed to the Westgate outlet on a Saturday evening. Got a table fairly quickly without much waiting. Brightly lit and cushy seats with several separate carrels gives one a comfortable dining feeling. Quite a good setting for family or big group dining.

Menu is quite limited though. For mains, it is either pasta or rice. Had the Miam Miam Spaghetti ($15.80). Every mouthful was flavorful with the lightly sautéed taste of its secret broth, Shoyu and butter. It is justifiably one of the recommended ones.

Had the French Toast too of course as strongly recommended by my friend. There was a dollop of fresh cream on top which tasted light and not too sweet. Complemented perfectly with the bread, and came also with Maple syrup in a small side bottle for extra sweetness if preferred. The bread was soft and fluffy. However I don't really see why it is worth to pay $9.80++ for just a few chunks of soft French toast. It is just bread with egg coating. mad

Besides that, tried the original souffle pancake ($8.80) as well but again, it was unimpressive at all. Just a small normal pancake, quite fluffy though, but was too plain and I took only a quarter of it. Don't bother trying this really.. sad

Overall, slightly above average food quality for some of the dishes but food all are fresh. So food waiting time can be long sometimes. Worth a try except the Soufflé Pancake. Great seating arrangement for group dining as well.

Decent but Overpriced >< OK Feb 15, 2014

As the name suggests, the restaurant is an establishment by the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. Not being an avid fan of him, I was quite skeptical to hear all the raved reviews and the snaky long queues of the restaurant.

Headed over for dinner on a Friday night without any reservation. Although the restaurant can take up to 200 persons, I had to wait supposedly initially for around 30min for a table. But luckily the wait turned out to be shorter otherwise I would have given up waiting.

From the entrance of the restaurant, I didn't realize the place being really expansive upon walking in. There are alfresco seats as well. The overall atmosphere felt quite laid-back and relaxing with the dim lightings, wooden tables and comfy seats.

Ordered the FISH antipasti ($17) as appetizer which consisted of breaded fish, few small slices of cheese, pickles and salad. It was quite a let-down, I could not the least bit appreciate the dish at all. The breaded fish were all cold and slightly hard while the salad was kinda tasteless. Portion was really small for an appetizer. I understand that it was supposed to be fine dining so it explained the portion size but I think the food quality was nowhere near fine.

However, on a brighter note, despite the miss with the appetizer, I think the pasta I had was not too bad. I had the JOOLS’ Favourite Silician Tuna Fusili ($21.00 for the bigger portion). The whole plate of fusili was really appetizing along with small chunks of fresh Albacore Tuna. Every bit of the Fusili was flavorful, I guess this is because it was slow-cooked with tomatoes and some herbs.

Ordered Italian Farm Sausage ($24.50) as another mains. Grilled pork sausage came in the form of a skewer with sweet & sour peppers and capers in between. The sausage was just ordinary despite claimed to be flavored with red wine and spices. It was in fact a bit too salty. Quite a flop especially considering its price, definitely not worth at all.

Tried out the Tutti Frutti Lemon Meringue ($11.50) for desserts. It was quite decent and appetizing because of the sourish limoncello. But it tasted a bit too sweet actually. I always feel that sweetness should be really mild in lemony desserts.

Overall, I was unimpressed with the food despite an initial good impression from some of the raved reviews about the restaurant. Some hits and misses, would not head back again as I think I would be able to get the same food quality at a lower price range.

There have been several cafes popping up in this quiet neighborhood of Everton Park. This small cafe is easily accessible from Outram Park Mrt.

Table seatings are pretty limited as the cafe is relatively small. The environment is quiet and conducive for reading. There are magazines and reading materials available as well.

Had a Cappuccino ($4). It was good and strong but surely not the best. Besides drinks, the cafe offers food such as waffles, cakes and pastries as well.
