My official first lunch outing at Metropolis Mall since changing jobs, and I went with my colleague for a pre-CNY lunch celebration of sorts. The two of us ordered set lunches consisting of vegetable soup, a sole fillet with red curry sauce main dish for her, a chicken fillet with onion sauce for me, and lemon tea for her and coffee for me. It took us a while to capture the attention of the staff at this place, I was finally noticed when I waved my arms frantically, almost looking as though I wa
The two of us ordered set lunches consisting of vegetable soup, a sole fillet with red curry sauce main dish for her, a chicken fillet with onion sauce for me, and lemon tea for her and coffee for me. It took us a while to capture the attention of the staff at this place, I was finally noticed when I waved my arms frantically, almost looking as though I was drowning in the invisible pool of water.
The food came out at a steady pace. The soup had lots of vegetables in it, which distracted from the fact that the soup was a little bit watery. The garlic bread that went with the soup was dreadful: the slices were thin (less than 1cm thick) and looked more like food scraps than proper feed.
Fortunately the main was a little bit more fulfilling. The chicken fillet was the size of my hand and quite thick too, while the sole fillet was even bigger. Taste wise, the chicken fillet was marinated with thyme and so the chicken had a light taste to it before the onion sauce was drizzled over it. I liked the vegetables - a generous portion of beans, carrots, half a tomato and some eggplants. My colleague decided that she didn't want vegetables as a side dish and asked for spaghetti instead when the dish arrived. The staff then said, "Sure. Let me give you a dish of spaghetti instead" and served us an entree plate of spaghetti. The serving wasn't huge but we were pleased with the extra carbs.
I had a coffee as an after-meal drink. I was expecting a black coffee where I could add my own milk and sugar, but lo and behold out came this cup of foamy, latte-like white coffee instead. The lady said it was one of their signature drinks or something like that, and I tried it with half a packet of raw sugar, with the other half going into my colleague's cup of lemon tea, which she liked. The coffee was quite well done, with a really nice mix of foam, milk, sugar and coffee. I happily spooned the foam into my mouth and enjoyed the small cup of coffee.
To be honest the food isn't top notch quality, and at just over $40 per person there are plenty of options around this neck of the woods, but I'd give a happy face for the sake of the cup of coffee. Strange.
