Bad Choices..
Reminder to self .. What not to buy.
Midnite salt crave the other night
~ Bought Calbee Hot & Spicy because of some Japanese word on the packaging.
~~~ Japanese words doesn't mean a thing, stick to Redrock Deli, Ruffles, Lays or even Twistee. First time I felt nauseous with chips.
~~~~~ Even better, skip it altogether, if not at least get quality fats.
Don't-know-what-to-eat-at-Marina-Square
~ I'm sick of MOF, just right after I paid $10 to apply for a membership card, great ...
~~~ Changing Appetites's $18 (w GST/10%) fusion Zup Chye Png was nonsense, for that price, if the taste fails, at least some effort on presentation?
~~~~~ It's a place for mudpies, not for mains, at least not what I ordered.
Citrus Fire Chicken & Prawn Set? $15.90
~ Prawns with green pepper, onion, pineapple on a burnt wooden skewer,
~ A piece of tired looking chicken drown in orange sauce, hardly delectable.
~ Yellow rice (saffron?) which tasted like last week's leftover re-re-re-fried.
~ 2 out of place carrot and zucchini, just to fill up the empty space on the plate.
I loved the zucchini (only) ... and of course the Frankenstein Mudpie.
It's easily $60 to $70 for 2 if you both order a main, a drink and a dessert each
Extra ingredients doesn't mean better
~ Same price, both made in Japan, not Tiongkok, 5 pieces 抹茶ふんわり焼 with Azuki beans or 6 pieces どら焼 with Azuki beans + chestnuts
~~~ Bells and whistles (chestnut and the extra piece) were there to justify for the cost and to compensate for the lack of quality.
~~~~~ どら焼 tasted disgustingly sweet and it's so soggy that it sticks to the wrapper. よるさないよ?!
