After winning the voucher from December's contest, we went to have our lunch at The Diet Butler one Monday afternoon. As we were still early, we were their first customers there.The environment is quite okay, very simple. The service staff quickly showed us the menu and informed the soup of the day was brocollies soup. At first, I intended to get the grilled salmon with lemon caper sauce but was informed it was out of stock as they had a party the day before and it has been used up. So, I settle
The environment is quite okay, very simple. The service staff quickly showed us the menu and informed the soup of the day was brocollies soup. At first, I intended to get the grilled salmon with lemon caper sauce but was informed it was out of stock as they had a party the day before and it has been used up. So, I settled for ribeye steak with mushroom sauce. Other main course includes a grilled dory with herb and lime butter. We also order the soup, a mango and sauteed shrimp salad with cous cous, 1 tea (Pot) and 2 coffee.
For the mango and sauteed shrimp salad with cous cous, the shrimp are very fresh and sweet. The mango bite are also quite nice but we were not very used to the cous cous. I will rate it 3 out of 5.
As they have run out of mushroom sauce for the ribeye steak, they recommended another sauce for it that has pineapple blended, so that it is a bit spicy and sour. I like this sauce, very appetising. However, the ribeye steak was overcooked. My medium rare has become medium or even well done. The steak was thus tough and dry. I will rate it a 2 out of 5.
The dory fish was quite good but with the herb and lim butter sauce, you will get tired of it after a while. Luckily with the sauce from my ribeye steak, my friend can have a different taste for her dory. She let me tried some of the dory and I also prefer it with the a little spicy, sweet and sour sauce. The dory was fresh though. 3 and 1/2 points.
The best part will be the soup. The brocollis soup with some fresh cream on top was thick and nice. You can enjoy the blended brocollis in every mouthful. This is the best. I gave it a 4 and 1/2 out of 5.
Coffee and tea was standard although I would prefer my coffee to be more fragrant and have a stronger coffee aroma.
Service was good . Just that some of the food items do need some improvement. But it was good that they can recommend new things when some of the items are out of stock.
