Following the last visit to Friends on April (which yielded good results in taste and enjoyment. see previous review), this recent visit again was a total letdown.Bought the deal again at $19.90 from deal.com.sg. However, another deal website, bigdeal.sg was offering similar deal at $19. Checked the menu between the 2 deals and not surprisingly, the items were more or less the same. Just differs in the presentation of listing the items.We were seated at the same place for the 3rd time. -_- The
Bought the deal again at $19.90 from deal.com.sg. However, another deal website, bigdeal.sg was offering similar deal at $19. Checked the menu between the 2 deals and not surprisingly, the items were more or less the same. Just differs in the presentation of listing the items.
We were seated at the same place for the 3rd time. -_- The waitress passed a menu list, especially for the deal, to us. Knowing there were 2 different types of the deal - $19 and $19.90, I highlighted this to her and she made a mistake and changed the inital menu list to the $19.90 menu list which we bought. Well, the menu for $19.90 doesn't have a big discrepancy from the $19 one, anyway.
Just as when I started to scan through the items and decide what to eat after the waitress had gone, she came back within less than 2-3 mins to take down our orders. Of course, we were not even ready yet!
I ordered exactly the same food as the last visit. (also fair for comparison, eh)
Starter: Chilled Angel Hair Pasta
How is it? Serving portion had decreased. Taste was not as strong as before. Indulgence level dropped.
Soup: Vongole Clam Broth
How is it? Still ok. Preserved the taste as last time I had.
Main Course: Pan-fried Dory fish with Pineapple Salsa, Garlic Mashed Potato, Lemon Butter Sauce
How is it? Serving portion decreased drastically. The size was really pathetic. Pineapple salsa was little. My mood dropped even further.
Dessert: Marble Cheesecake (mine), Warm Valrhona Chocolate Cake served with vanilla ice cream & seared banana, mango coulis (partner swopped his cheesecake with this, topped up $9.90. Ala carte: $14.90)
How is it? Small slice of cheesecake as expected. The warm chocolate cake managed to brighten my day, finally. The chocolate oozed out as it supposed to be (unlike the one I had in Bakerzin at Tampines One). Finally, a pleasant piece of food.
Service: The staff were prompt in serving but also "very efficient" in clearing the used utensils. No signals or courtesy or "May I clear?" were given to us and the plates were just gone right after we finished the food. -_- They gave us a feeling that we should be on our way to the exit door.
This restaurant, once a forward-looking place for me, has now become a history to me. Sad to say, this will be my last visit.
