Funny... Ended up walking alot today in deciding on the places to eat and rest.
YZ wanted to eat at Asian Kitchen in Citylink but i couldn't stand the cooking fumes that was choking the whole place, so we left after enduring it for 5 minutes. We wanted to eat at Bakerzin at Millenia Walk but all the tables were taken up and we didn't want to sit outdoors as it was really steaming outside. So ended up walking down the whole stretch of restaurants selecting a place before returning to our original choice again. i really wonder how do the restaurants at Millenia survive?? There were only a handful of people in each of the restaurants that we passed by (other than Bakerzin of course). Well, they have a (new?) set meal was simply irresistibly cheap so we don't mind waiting for a table. Thankfully, by the time we walked back, there were a few tables empty. Goody!!
The set comes with a soup of the day (which happened to be a spicy tomato soup... not too bad...), unlimited supply of bread (this is really yucky. the bread is too dry. it is only eat-able after soaking it in soup), main course and a drink (choice of iced tea or italian soda). The mushroom linguine was one of the choices so i had that naturally. Mushrooms! :p Alas! i was horribly disappointed. The two plates of mushroom linguine that arrived at our table are obviously from different cooks. One looked nice and moist. The other looked dry and the scant amount of cream was of a thicker consistency. i got the latter. But note the emphasis is on the use of the word looked cos both taste yucky but perhaps mine was yuckier. And i guess garlic must be real CHEAP nowadays. See the mountain of garlic i picked out from my plate! There must be at least 4-5 gloves of garlic here! And that adds even more to the yucky factor!
After walking fruitlessly (read: no clothes, bags or shoes bought! yay! :p) around the area we ended up at Raffles City basement to rest our tired feet. Had wanted to drink the iced milk tea at Mos Burger but as usual no seats. Haiz... Ended up at seat-hopping from Burger King to JCo before settling at OChaCha. Verdict: If you want a freezie, order the thirstier version. If you want on-the-rocks, get the parched version. Reason? The freezie takes AGES to melt i.e. finish. And the desserts are so-so only. This is my conclusion after having tried the honey cake, panna cotta, matcha cotton and the tea-ramisu. But the drinks are yummy.
