FOOD
Entrees (share)
the Rumour
- this is a must try. Its their specialty dish - very refreshing using Watermelon, Melon and Mango. Each of them is stuffed with a different flavour - ham, vinegar and prawn respectively. The flavours were compliments each other very well - great as a starter or snack.
Onion Ring
- this was fried with a batter (no crumbs) - very crunchy and tasty, not oily at all, great bar snack or side dish to share.
Fish & Chips
- apart from being crunchy without being oily as all good fried food should be, the same piece of fish was coated with batter on one side, and bread crumb on the other. Very creative and allows you to try 2 different style in one dish.
Note: starters portions are generous - enough for 1-2 persons.
Mains
Vegetarian Pizza
- pizza is the type I like - thin and crispy and the topping is generous and tasty.
Cheese is a little browned - very aromatic
Foie Gras Risotto
- this was a surprised dish as we did not know what to expect. Surprisingly worked well as the rich Foie Gras tasty good with the Risotto.
Tuna Salad
- the tuna was wrapped in black sesame added texture to the tuna which was fresh and soft.
Salmon Pasta
- salmon was tasty and pasta was cooked well - al dente !
Seafood Skewers
- generous portion and the skewers were still juicy on the inside and slightly toasted on the outside
DRINKS
Speak with the boss - guy call Eddie - very friendly - ask for him for suggestions.
We had shots and cocktails
Tabasco shot: very strong alcohol with a strong kick and lasting flavour
Rumour shot: sweet liquer topped with icecream - worth a try !
Blueberry with Yakult: was a unique taste - sweet, fruity and refreshing.
SERVICE
The waitors were efficient and friendly. The boss was the value add.
Was very friendly and provided many suggestions without being pushy at all.
ENVIRONMENT
Seating was comfortable (big sofa, tall bar seats, large cushioned chairs), area was spacious and lighting was ambient.
The decoration was unique in the area - good, clean place to chill for drinks or dinner. Great environment for drinks with friends.
