Bad, horrible, never-come-back-again place!
Oh... why did we decide to walk in?
But this place is always packed, always has a queue out the front...
Doesn't mean it's yummy!
It's supposed to be similar to that other place...
I.don't.think.so!!
The Plaza Singapura branch recently re-opened, not sure if they just went through massive renovations to the place or that the owners changed. Something about the fact that the servers weren't all that experienced (like first time service crews) should've rang some alarm bells in my head, but no... we decided to sit, order, eat and pay.
We started with a bowl of seafood chowder which came in a tiny soup bowl, was watered down and had a hint of seafood taste to it. Then came the fried whitebait on a bed of coleslaw with raisins. Whitebait is supposed to be somewhat fleshy, but these were severely under nourished ones that reminded me of asian anchovies. The vegetables in the coleslaw wasn't fresh nor crunchy and again, not enough dressing.
I had the flame grilled prawns as my main which just meant that the prawns were grilled in the kitchen, covered in a cheese sauce that's lightly flamed with a hand held butane torch in front of you before being served. The sauce was weird to say the least, I couldn't put my finger on the distinct taste and the dish came with fries that looked like they've been re-fried.
The hubs had a fried whole burramundi which was pretty good, surprisingly... the rice which came with it was a little weird, garlic flavoured rice it was.
The plates looked old, porcelain side plates have been stained with the metal scour, plastic drinking glasses cracked but not leaking, serving plates are thin metal bordering on plates found in hawker centers and remember not to use the outer sides of the napkins as one of the servers used it to wipe the side plates dry on a table of four and placed it on the last side plate!
