Actually a friend went with her friends before and tried the pasta. Their comments were - not nice.

 

Anyway i went to try it out today - No pasta this time

 

Comments:

 

1. potato wedges with spicy sauce (chef's recommendation)

 

i thought: sounds good! despite my recovering running nose and a bad cough, i thought of giving it a try (i can share with my friends as well).

 

actual fact: the sauce is tomato flavoured and not spicy at all

 

2. potato salad

 

i thought: opps almost everything in the menu are fried / oily, i am not interested in greens so i ordered potato salad (was thinking of the taste from NYDC / Pasta Cafe)

 

actual fact: the after-taste is smelly - i think it is onion, and the overall rating is, not nice

 

3. spicy buffalo wings (chef's recommendation)

 

actually a friend wanted to try it so we ordered... i took 1 and tried (did not finish the skins since it is nothing more than a fried chicken wing's skin)

 

actual fact: you should be able to guess it, not only it is not spicy, the food does not look like the one in the menu picture

 

Ok, there are a couple of tasty bites too:

 

4. fish and chips

 

the fish is quite tender in the inside and it does not taste fishy (my tolerance of fishy-ness is very low :P)

 

5. prawns and roasted chicken combo

 

friends said that the roasted chicken tasted better than the buffalo wings; i tried the prawns and they were quite fresh

 

Conclusion: i most probably will not come to this cafe again for main courses; most of the chef's recommendations were beef related and the non chef's recommendations were not good enough.

 

perhaps i may consider if i need a place to sit down and drink some coffee / eat some ice cream

 

 

 

 

Have you heard that, one cannot bear the grudges for too long? I think it is true because having negative thoughts too often will affect your daily moods, emotions and hence the quality of your life.. haha i am not trying to sound like a philosopher (perhaps you did not even think of that! :p)

 

my point is.. why am i still feeling sore about the "unfair" treatment given?

 

in chinese, there is a phrase - tong ren bu tong ming (alas my chinese s/w is not set up in pc as yet so i must write in hanyu pinyin which i am not good at, not that my chinese is good). eg even if you are working in the same society / company, you may not be given the same exposure; even if you are doing the same kind of work, your pay may be different

 

to friends: na, this topic has nothing to do with my job.. the above is just an eg :)
