Jade @ The Fullerton Hotel

Jade @ The Fullerton Hotel

This was my first time having Dinner at Jade. Previously, I had been here before for their ala cart dim sum buffet which was quite good. If my memories serve me right :P

We ordered the set menu which was the easiest option as we were too lazy to think what to order.

The menu...We ordered Happiness Set, $88++ per pax. (Huat Huat)

Appetizer, this is not part of the set. The roast pork was good. The skin was very crispy, the meat was juicy without the gamely taste. The thing that make this dish special, is the mustard sauce that came with it. Different from the normal wasabi mustard sauce that usually come with the roast pork. The mustard sauce that Jade serve is slightly sweet and don't have the wasabi taste, I felt this type of mustard sauce goes better with the roast pork compare to the wasabi mustard.

Appetizer from the Set Menu. From the left, roast duck with Foie Gras Sauce, the duck was juicy but I don't taste any Foie Gras. Middle was the crispy see bass with honey glazed, this was good. The fish was fried till crispy but not oily. Mayonnaise Prawn coated with chicken floss, tasted like normal prawn.

Braised Bird Nest with egg white and truffle soup. This was the first time, I had bird nest with truffle which sound weird cooking together. Normally, we had bird nest as dessert. Bird nest which is very bland by itself, truffles which is very strong in taste really goes very well together. This soup is so much Eco-friendly and I think it taste much more better than the gluey shark fin soup. (Say No to Shark Fin)

Dang Gui Chicken, the Dang Gui taste was mild. I would prefer stronger taste of Dang Gui.

Homemade beancurd with minced pork sauce. We changed beef to pork. The beancurd was very silky and this is the first time I see green toufu.

Noodle with Lobster. I find this dish average as the lobster tasted blend. noodle was average as well.

Coconut ice cream dessert with strawberry and jelly. 

Overall : The food is above average and the price is quite reasonable. I would definitely go back again. There is discount 10% for UOB and HSBC card. UOB infinite card is entitled to 20% discount.

Groupon Deal - Baci Italian Cafe @112 Katong

Groupon - Baci Italian Cafe

Easy to make reservation? 

No reservation needed for this deal, you can just walk in.

How is the experience?

The day that I went was the last day of the Groupon Deal, I guessed alot of people went on the last day to claim the deal. As majority of the item on the menu was sold out or not available. The only choices we were left with is only pasta. Hope the owner can anticipate better on the food supply when they take part in Groupon.

I guess Pizza is their signature since it is on the cover page of the menu. Don't ask me how it taste...as only pasta is available when I was there.

Cappuccino ($5.50), we ordered an Ice Mocha ($6.50) as well, not in the pic.

Mixed Seafood Linguine ($13)

Chicken and Pancette Carbonara ($17.50)

 

Total Bill : $45.48, after Groupon $30 Voucher : Top up $15

Prior going down to the restaurant, I did a quick search on Hungry go where on this restaurant. The review was terrible on the food and service. This is also part of the reason why we dragged till the last day to claim the deal. ( Forgot to do a search when I bought this voucher)
I already expect the worse when I waited for the food. But surprisingly, the pasta was done quite decent. In fact, I think my seafood pasta was quite a steal  at $13. The coffee was also decent. But I do agree with the service part. The service staff was busy talking and mixing up order at the counter. Many customers was quite pissed with the order mixed up when we were there. But, they do not charge service charge...so I think we cannot complain about their service.

Any Hard Sell?
No.

Will I go back again?
Thou, the food is decent but I won't be going back again. There is too many delicious food in Katong, decent is just not enough to attract me back to the cafe again.
