Sophia's Birthday Dinner @ MK

We celebrated Sophia's birthday last Sat at this newly opened steamboat at 313 Sommerset. Many of us who have been to Bangkok will find MK familiar.  Yes, you no longer have to travel all the way to Bangkok for MK. MK is located very convieniently at B3 of 313. But as they do not take reservations on weekend, do come early if you do not wish to queue.

Angie, still feeling sleepy?

MK's tradition : a birthday song from the staff to the birthday ger.

The very shy birthday ger

Btw she is 29 years old this yr.

Classic photoshoot

As we are trapped by the sofa seats..instead of our individual shots with the birthday ger...

 the group just got bigger with each picture.

Happy Birthday Sophia!

Late comer

 After the dinner we did something which we have not done together in a long long time! 
We caught a movie together - Despicable me 2.



We grabbed a train from Somerset station which was just one stop away from The Cathay.

Posing like tourists.

No signage leh Angie

Queing for drinks

The even-later comer. But since it was due to a valid reason, she was quickly forgiven.

The Q was not moving at all.

Sophia's birthday celebration ended at about 11.45pm.

Next on my calendar of Birthday Celebrations - Ashley's Pool Side Party at Fullerton Bay Hotel!

Groupon - Modern Asian Diner (MAD)

Groupon Purchase again...this time we bought the voucher for MAD. We were attracted by the decor of this restaurant when we were at Turf City the other time to tried out Omakase Burger. MAD is a new modern concept restaurant that combine shopping and dinning experience together.

Easy to make reservation? 

I called to make reservation when I was on the way down. The receptionist say we can just walked in no reservation needed. So ..Yes it was easy to make reservation!

How is the experience?
The Entrance of MAD..items on sale is quite interesting but prices is not cheap thou.

Entrance of MAD

Very modernly and chic decorated restaurant, it was very empty on a weekday night. 

This is interesting..we get to order our food thru ipad...alternative to recent tight manpower situation. Their menu is a mix of  Chinese, Asian and Western. They had a dim sum menu  too.

Mango Smoked Duck Breast...this was good....mango seems to go well with everything :)

Foie Gras, Whayu Beef Claypot Rice...talk about extravagant...this must be the most extravagant claypot rice I had eaten....never thought that Foie Gras can be used to cook Claypot Rice...interesting combination and it is delicious.

Dumpling Soup...the soup was served warm. I guess the waiter must have forgotten about this soup and let it lying in the kitchen for sometime. The soup was served when we asked the waiter where is our missing soup. Inside the huge dumpling is generous portion of shredded crab meat and scallop. It is a waste the soup is served warm as this soup with its lots of shredded crab and scallop taste abit fishy when it is not served hot.

Truffles fries..the truffle fries is so good that Nick finished the whole bowl himself....I only managed to grab a few strand from him...

Spicy Miso Pork Belly Burgers...one of the disappointing dish that night...the burger was bland and wet....still prefer my burger with patty

Crispy Beancurd Skin with Prawn...this is good...the skin is crispy.prawn is crunchy...

Total dinner : SGD 92/- (we never order drinks, ice water is served free), we top up $10/- after using our Groupon Voucher.

Any Hard Sell?

No.

Will I go back again ?

Yes ,if there is Groupon deal. The food there is ok with some hits and misses. Service staff needs to be more attentive as well. The night we went, there is more service staff than customer but the service staff is not attentive and can miss out our order when we are the only customer in the restaurant. 

The location is rather Ulu there is nothing much you can do before and after dinner. The whole mall is quite dead on a weekday night. It won't attract me to go back there if there is no Groupon Voucher.
