Strangers Reunion or Separation?
A couple of weeks back, I had a dinner session with my uni mates. In this boring city, most shopping centres are a replica of one another, with the same old boring chains of cafe/restaurants. So clever me (not) suggested that we should go for something less conventional, some place 'ulu' (isolated) to avoid the crowd.
They suggested Strangers Reunion.
Now this name also rang a bell in my head because apparently the place invited some bloggers for food tastings and they raved about it so I thought ok, must be not bad then.
I didn't take much photos when I was there because the rest have almost finished their food when I arrived.
It was a shame that their 'all-day' breakfast wasn't all day (cut off time at 6 I think) So anyway, here's 2 blurry shots of my food. I ordered a waffle with some fruits and maple syrup and truffle fries.
This waffle was possibly the worst food I have ever tasted, just second to expired food. Maybe I chose the wrong waffle to order, but the maple syrup was so generously poured onto the waffle, I think I may be a diabetic patient sooner than I thought. The over-sweetness of the syrup got absorbed by the waffle that I honestly don't know what I was tasting except maple syrup.
Never order this if you want to try the waffle.
You can't go wrong with the ice cream one, because it is ice cream right?
er.. right?
was so bad I can't even be bothered to rotate the picture for you. Logic tells me that - "not that it matters of course" |
Order this truffle fries because you can't really go wrong with fries.
I have nothing much to talk about the fries, except that it is a safe food option lol.
So if you are ever dragged there for some gathering, this is a good choice.
I wasn't the only one complaining about the food, my friends were also sorely disappointed.
Don't feel too disappointed about the lack of photos, because there was nothing nice to take anyway.
So the bf ordered Panko Chicken (SGD17.90 before GST) which was basically chicken in a bun with erm... beansprouts? He was cursing me for bring him to the place because the combination was absolutely wrong and that to him, the chicken was quite tasteless. In fact, he had to put the beansprouts on another side of the dish because it didn't go well with the rest of erm. the food.
The other friend of mine ordered Sesame Salmon that cost about 20+ and was sorely disappointed by the serving. Frankly, it was too small and it is not like this is some 10 course dinner place where you know everything is small and you will still be full after that 10 course. Not cheap, not very nice. Stick with the truffle fries people.
Verdict: food there is not what you call cheap, nor delicious. It's mediocre to the core, with nothing much to shout about. I do believe some people on hungrygowhere feel the same too. Maybe just go there for some coffee if you must.
Not going to put their address down, because I don't really want to see my readers torturing themselves with food like this. Save your stomach for something better!
Should call the place "Strangest Reunion" :p
ReplyDelete*facepalm* i rather it be 'strangest' than not delicious.
