Restaurants In The Malls

Went to the newly renovated outlet at mandarin gallery but I would say I'm pretty disappointed with the food. The ambience and setting is good but it's overpriced. The Tunisian all day breakfast (Sizzling Pan of spicy shakshouka studded with chorizo sausage crowned with 2 fried eggs) was wild honey's signature dish but it went really wrong. In the past they serve this with their brioche bread, not sure why I was served with 2 pieces of naan instead. The stew was runny, almost watery and diluted. Service was pretty slow and crews weren't attentive enough. It's only a fancy place to go for it's ambience.

Grilled salmon with soba ($28) comes with a huge slab of salmon which was done so perfectly that left me wanting for me. Sauce for soba was refreshing. Crabmeat pasta with line nuts ($25) boy the portion was huge. You're also able to choose from spaghetti/fettuccine. Overall the food standard is good but the service is really unpleasant. You may end up waiting for an hour for a plate of pasta. Not sure if they are short handed or what.

Always a fan of Italian food, I believe the ambience at the esplanade's outlet is better since they have a rooftop bar. for those who don't drink, the newly open branch at orchard gateway will be good. Nice interior and pretty quiet since I was there on a Monday evening. Ordered the morning after pizza ($18 for 9inches) soft egg in the centre with bacon, spinach and tomato paste. Very disappointed as it does not taste as good as it looks. The thin crust was rather tough and soggy, not worth trying. The service was however worth a shoutout. Very attentive.

If you're expecting an authentic Italian fare, this will fail you. Don't order their set lunch especially. Nothing to rave about, pasta are like those you can prepare at home. They started serving rice gauche cakes not long ago, in case you're craving for something sweet after your meal at Domani.

Despite its bad reviews, I went ahead with it. Glad I did! Food was surprisingly good and portions were generous. Menu consist of all day brunch, mains, burgers and pasta. The salmon ($17) was fresh and how often do you see salmon burgers? Duck confit ($20) was tender though the aglioolio could've been better, with the price I paid it's worth it. Truffle fries (+$4 with any burger order/$12 ala-carte) were of thick cut, strongly infused with truffle oil, crispy on the outside but fluffy inside and left me wanting for more! The only downside of this place is the service, nothing about their attitude but obviously they are short handed and you'll have to wait a long time for water to be served. I'll be back for their Belgium waffles!
