Came here for dinner. 

 
1 table is big enough to fit 6 people.

 
I looked through the menu and could see that all the food was priced less than $10 except for some of the grilled meat. Also for $2.80 you can get free flow of drinks.

 
After deciding what we wanted, we press the service button and waited. When a table presses the button, the LED sign will change to whatever table number that presses it.

 
I ordered Potato Omelette($5.90)- Egg, Bacon, Potato and Corn. Shared it with my friend. Potato was cooked. Corn was sweet. Bacon was yummy. Not bad I guess.

 
My main dish was the curry baked rice($5.90)- Rice, chicken, bell peppers baked with cheese and curry on top. Beware, this dish is spicy. 4 big bites and you will start to open your mouth. I like the chicken, it was crispy but a little overcooked. 

 
At the end we went to the counter to make out payment.

Supplementary Information:
Prices are NETT.

Bland pasta OK Mar 07, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : European | Pasta | Paella

Went to Ambush for lunch with my friends. I ordered the set lunch- Baby Scallop Fish Roe Cream Sauce ($10.90). It came with soup and a drink. I chose iced tea. Sugar syrup was provided for it.

Soup was corn soup. It's cream based. It was nice. Had some bits of corn which added texture.

For the pasta you could choose the type of pasta you wanted- linguine, spaghetti or penne. I chose spaghetti. The fish roe didn't had much taste. The sauce was quite bland, not really creamy and had a strong seafood taste(not really nice). However after adding salt and pepper, it tasted a whole lot better.

Pho not my cup of tea OK Feb 28, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Vietnamese

There was a long line of people queuing up and my friends and I joined the queue. Got a table quite fast.

 
Quite a number of condiments on the table- Some chilli sauce for pho and hoisen sauce.
Salad

I got the lunch set($9.90)- salad+chicken pho+ iced lotus tea. The salad came quite fast after we ordered our food. Really love the salad. Quite similar to achar. Sour and sweet and a hint of spiciness. It was also crunchy.
Lotus tea

Shortly after the drinks came. This is the worst tea I have EVER tasted. Words can't describe it. Even with sugar, I still couldn't drink it. Better to get the coffee. Well this is only my opinion.
Pho Chicken

Next came the pho. Could taste mainly cinnamon. The broth was okay. The beef pho broth had slightly more flavor then the chicken pho broth. Broth was neither too sour nor spicy. Noodles were cooked nicely. The chicken might be the nicest thing in it since I didn't really like the dish.
Crispy fried chicken

Lastly came the chicken wings. We had to ask the service staff about our chicken since we waited quite long. For the price of $4.90(3 pieces) I don't really think it's worth it. I felt that the added to much sauce to the chicken. The sauce was a little too salty and weird. The nice thing about this dish was the pickled carrot. Crunchy and sweet.

The tables are a little small. We sat at a table for 3 people and when all the food arrived there was hardly any space left. Doubt I'll visit here anytime soon.

Coffee might be a better choice OK Feb 27, 2014

Categories : American | Coffee

Ordered signature hot chocolate with whipped cream. Was a little sweeter than what I would have liked. Maybe because of the cream. It came out warm so it was easy to drink it. Anyway, it kinda tasted like the one I drank at to-gether cafe except it had a slightly stronger chocolaty taste.

Lovely Decor OK Feb 25, 2014

I love the decor of this cafe. Really nice. The walls have words that no matter how you take it, it still looks nice (maybe it's because of the font?)

 
Ordered the student lunch deal Grilled Chicken Chop. The sauce accompanying the chicken tasted like a mild black pepper sauce with mushroom. Not really complementing with the chicken in my opinion. There were wedges and salad at the side.

For drinks I ordered Hot Dark Chocolate. Sounds tempting doesn't it? However it was below my expectation. I thought maybe the chocolate would be richer and darker. But still it was okay.

There's also free water, just help yourself to it.
