Boss treated to lunch again! All thanks to a super-brainless meeting arranged at 1130hrs. Some people are just so weird to arrange meetings at such timing. Seriously my morale would drop rock-bottom whenever i hear such odd timings. i've really got to control myself! All things happen for a reason. Well... something good did come out of it! Free lunch again! :p
IVINS is located in a quiet and serene (read: ulu) part of the Bukit Timah area. Boss had ordered 5 dishes plus dessert for the 3 of us. i was still wondering if we could finish them when the food arrived and we nearly dropped our jaws! The portions are really small. So it turned out just nice for us. Well, i guess considering the location, the prices (average $4.80 per dish) are reasonable though relatively expensive.
The stuff we ate.
1. Ayam Tempra - just normal diced chicken stir fried in soya sauce
2. Sotong Sambal
3. Nonya Chap Chye - the cabbage is overcooked in a sweet clear sauce
4. Fried Ngo Hiang
5. Mutton Kromak - the best of all the dishes. nice tender mutton in a non-spicy curry. quite yummy.
6. Chendol - i was quite surprised at the presentation of this dessert when it arrived. Not sure if "authentic" chendol is supposed to be served this way. Basically it is just green jelly and red bean in a wallop of coconut cream and brown sugar topped with ice. Literally. i don't usually eat chendol but i thought there was supposed to have some liquid in the chendol? Oh well, after mixing the ice with the coconut cream, it did turn out to be like the chendol that i usually see. Quite refreshing but it was a bit too sweet and the green jelly was too soggy.
