Passed by many a time during lunch hour and noticed that each time the place was always packed.Loved how nicely the windows showcased the customers inside and they did look like they were having a blast.The place had a kind of upper Manhattan feel to it where any carefree gal would regularly pop in to catch up on the latest juice with her pals.
So I finally took the plunge yesterday.And it greatly surprised me that such a promising and tastefully done up exterior would have no one to greet and usher you to the interior.I scanned the area selected a corner and the instant I sat down felt that it was decidedly warm.No wonder,the place had no aircond.
When the motley of waitresses had sized me up and when they had decided who was up for the slaughter the menu arrived,and it was in contrast a well thumbed piece with dog ears, a testament to the number of diners hosted here.
I resisted looking at the unfinished flooring and discovered that the only dessert they had was from the ridiculously low priced add on set.It had looked like a place for a sinful piece of cake there was none.only from the add on could you get a tiny morsel.Boy was I irritated.
The prices were cheap.There must be a mistake.Should I get out of here?
I should have trusted my instincts for so much is lacking here.
The soup was the first to arrive.Bega butter with a standard bun.Hmm not too bad.
When my Cajun chick arrived I was thrilled for it was pan grilled to my liking and not too large a serving.I pushed past the boiled brocolli to get to the rice and my face went downhill.
The cook was obviously influenced by those Ads where they spread butter atop hot rice.It just was too amateurish.Too heavy and unsalted,too plain.too oily and just unnecessary...a plate of fries would have done the trick.Suffice to say that almost every dish on the menu was accompanied by this unnecessary evil.
And for heavens sake was that kunyit in my sauce in lieu of saffron?
I got bored and poked at his mussel.goood....mmmmm......then I flicked his pasta......baaaaaaddddd.
All in all dining here is like riding a roller coaster and I am not returning because no matter how cute the ice cream is the accompanying cake is ala Maxim. And thumbs down to the noisy diners that makes the whole place sound so like a school canteen cum dim sum palace.
