Came here for dinner as boyfriend and I decided we haven't been to Festival Walk in a long time. We noticed this restaurant was new and the menu looked pretty. Place looked a bit like Simply Life.

Located next to Festival Walk's movie theater, is a restaurant that serves dessert and cute meals. The entire place looked a bit like Simply Life. The menu was pretty enough. It was in both English and Chinese with plenty of beautifully shot food photos.
As it was dinner, we decided on the set dinner menu for $88. Sets came with a bread, salad, an appetizer, main and coffee or tea. We were informed that the "European Bun" was not available and we could only have the baguette. I have no idea what the European Bun is supposed to look like. Is it your typical Hong Kong sweet dinner bun? From the menu description, we thought it would all come separately. Instead all the food was placed on one big plate.
Pork Fillet in Pomela Sauce, Mini Farfalle with Bacon In Tomato Neopolitan Sauce. Here's the thing. Everything was horrible. There was not one redeeming factor on this plate of food. The salad had NO salad dressing. It felt like eating grass. The baguette was topped with untoasted almond slices. That was not the only thing, the baguett was supposedly toasted but it was still chewy and not crispy at all. The pork fillet was three small slices of pork that tasted super sweet. The worst was the pasta. The sauce was watery and the whole thing was bland. The pasta was over cooked and soggy.
Balsamic and Butter Stiry Fry Mushrooms, Tagliatelle with Parma Ham in White Sauce. This pasta was worse than the farfalle. It was not only soggy and over cooked but the pasta was clumped together. It was also bland. There was no indication of any "white sauce" on it. The mushrooms tasted ok though extremely oily. Note the bread was missing form the plate? The waiter said they were backed up on bread and will come out soon. This bread didn't arrive until we had long finished our meal.
The ice lemon tea we ordered was also weak and watery.Food was horrible. Service was understaffed and rushed. Won't return.
