The Marmalade Pantry

This is my first and might be my last visit to this restaurant at Ion Orchard.

Ate the Crabmeat Linguini - taste ok.
Shared the Sticky Date & Toffee Pudding (taste and look very much like fa gao but taste not bad), Pumpkin Creme Brulee (too sweet) and the Caramelised Pear & Salted Caramel Bread Pudding (this is nicest of all if you don't eat the pear which has a weird bleach smell)

Prices are not cheap considering it is at the atas level 3 at Ion. But the reason for my (and friends included) non-patronising is their seemingly policy of "no smiling". All the staff looks as if the whole world owes them money. Service is non-existence. Even though there are more than enough waitresses, it is very hard to get their attention. Glasses are refilled after 3 requests. Menus are very expensive here too. You only get 1 set per table. We were thinking perhaps it is just our table. But sadly, the only consolation is that they treat everyone equally. Bad, that is.
