It was a day out with the sistas and we headed for shopping in Orchard. We all had a shopping list and we also managed to get what we wanted.
Lunch was at Ramen-Ten at Far East. Disappointing ah.
The quality of food was not good (not that the price was cheap or what), and the service was below average.
Sashimi got bones, sushi not well made, katsu-don not piping hot, rice had a weird smell...etc. That's bad enough right.
While paying at the cashier, she didn't even ask me if I had UOB card as there was 10% discount.
I had wanted to pay with my OCBC card already until Kailing spotted the minute notice for this promotion. So luckily, it was still in time. But I'm still rather unhappy with the service standards. Crew not proactive and slow to react.
Can't blame me yeah, I'm doing service quality, have to have my QC rite, or else how can Singapore improve as a whole?!
Anyway, shopping kicked off at Far East after that horrid lunch.
We also went to a tai-tai place for a sit-down after shopping at Orchard.
Kailing is very happy with the removal of her braces. I almost didn't notice it lor.
Joy and Ling and me waiting for food.
Appetizer, Soup and Soft Rolls
Both Kailing and Joy loved this bacon-potato soup which I thought was slightly salty. The soft rolls were good lah! Soft and warm, feels so fresh! Appetizer was the little portion of mushrooms, greens and salmon which was half cooked all around, but raw in the middle.
It felt abit weird to have it without wasabi, but guess it was still ok.
Side order: Walnut Carrot Cake and Earl Grey Tea
Best of the best carrot cake! Moist, generous with the carrots, walnuts and chocolate chips, and most importantly, the little sour cream on the top was just right. Superb. Earl Grey tea was in a pretty pot and tea-cup format.
Main Course: Mushroom and Chicken Pasta
Spicy level was just right, very fragrant and tasted abit like aglio olio. I liked this.
Main Course: Bacon Mushroom Sandwich (bread at the bottom covered)Mushroom was mashed nicely with one slice of bread and garden greens. Taste was ok, but nothing that fantastic.
Dessert: Chocolate Explosion
Oh well, it's exploded there you can see, chocolate sauce oozing out from the cake with super milky vanilla ice-cream (not very much to my liking) and a small portion of fruits.
As I was on my crash diet, I ate the whole portion of fruits and 2 small mouthfulls of cake.
(Abit wasted huh..but it's ok! I'm still happy.)
Plus! I managed to buy 3 pretty items on my shopping list! Got huge CZ stud earring accessory (I think it's about 3 carats huge. Haha) and my Brazil-green cardigan and my black flat pumps!
I'm very satisfied with these 3 items.
