We decided to dine at TCC as it’s my mum’s birthday month and we are entitled to 50% off all items as my mum is a TCC member holder.
There was a queue even though we got there quite ate at around 8+.
We waited for a while and got a seat for 4 in around 15minutes.
Service
The service was average. Probably they were too busy with the crowd, it took us quite some time to get the attention for order taking.
The waiters/waitresses are quite friendly and polite.(:
The items are served within 20minutes upon ordering and the waitress do remember what we individually ordered.
The food are served to us respectively without us having to direct it.
There are some mistakes in billing for our table and the one next to us initially.
We have yet to ask for bill but one of the waiters brought the bill to us.
They did make the effort to explain to us and overall the service is good even though there are mistakes.
At least the waiters and waitresses are polite and patient.(:
Food
Items we ordered for that day includes:
Main Course
Pan-seared Chicken Breast w/ Shogayaki Sauce
This is what my dad ordered. Tried a few bites of the chicken meat.
Even though it’s chicken breast, I really like it for that it is tender and pretty smooth to eat.The taste has also penetrates deeply into the meat and it is tasteful ;D
The sauce complements it and is not too salty or bland.
A dish I would recommend ^^
Mushroom Tortellini Al Arabiatta
I’m one who does not eat mushroom but my mum urged me to give this a try and assure me that there isn’t a strong taste of mushroom.
Tried a little of it and gladly, there really isn’t much taste of mushroom.Although I would not say that it is completely free of the mushroom taste, the tomato base sauce made the ‘dumpling’ tasty and appetizing.
It is indeed quite a nice dish even for someone like me who doesn’t eat mushroom ;D
The flour is not too thick and the portion is quite filling too, around 8-10 of the ‘dumplings’.
Red-hot Chicken Spaghetti
Tried a mouthful of this spaghetti. It is spicy, but not overly spicy.
The taste is more ordinary for this dish but the standard remains there.The proportion is well managed that it is not too spicy, salty or bland. Even an ordinary dish can be an enjoyment ;D
Mentaiko Crab Baton Spaghetti
This is what I ordered. The crab is the real crab meat shaped into a crabmeat-like/mentaiko shape.
The crab meat isn’t a lot but it is a satisfying one ;DThe sauce is quite a lot and it has a taste of cheese tasted in the orange sauce.
I’m not sure of the base of the sauce but it is really special that I’ve never tasted before.
It goes really well with the spaghetti and the crab, and the whole dish gave a Japanese feel.
The crab is really fresh. Perhaps I’m not a total seafood lover, the seafood freshness did cause me to be a little resistive of the dish at the end of it.
But it is pretty obvious the standard is above average and it’s definitely worth it for an indulging meal ;D
Sides
Mozza Stick and prawn cheese toast
The mozza stick was a disappointment. I was expecting a melting cheesy stick but the cheese within is more or less hardened and is not really warm when served.
Luckily it came with a warm tomato dip which spiced up the flavours.It would be nearly perfect if the mozza sticks are served hot and fresh.
The prawn cheese toast is delicious and special ;DThe amount of prawn is just right for each portion and the toast is moderately toasted to give a crispy texture and yet retains slight softness.
Complemented with the cheese and prawn, the bite-size toast is tasty and appetising
Desserts
Zestiny
(Lime parfait studded with raspberries and light-as-air lemon meringue)
Puffy Triplets
(Three profiteroles with rich chocolate ice cream atop a fine almond-espresso financier)
The zestiny is a nice combination of sweetness and sourness.Not too extreme on either. There are real berries topped too ;D
Even if you are really full from the main courses, these desserts are the right choice to satisfy your sweet tooth without stuffing your stomach ;D
The puffy triplets base hints a tinge of espresso and goes well with the chocolate ice cream topped on it. The macaroon-like biscuits that sandwiched the scoops of ice cream are plain and simple, and it does not complicate the combination.
Each dessert has its own unique attractions.
If I were to choose one out of this two, I would prefer the zestiny as it is really suitable for an after meal indulgence. Sweet and sour at the same time...good for digestion too? ;P
Blue mountain
First time trying blue mountain.
Perhaps because we are not really into coffee, we could not really taste the difference of blue mountain compared to normal kopi o gao>.<
I do felt that it gave a special aftertaste that is slightly icing and relaxing?
Not sure if this is accurate though :x
Considerably great experience at TCC. Nice food, service and ambience ;D
