The Khakis decided to switch to Wild Honey at Mandarin Gallery at the last minute.
Sure, I don't mind checking out new places to eat :), especially one that serves all-day breakfast.
There was a long queue but we wanted to try this place out and so waited and waited.
Getting really hungry by now and as you know, a hungry man or in this case woman is an angry man/woman.
An ang-moh man came out with small pieces of cakes on two slabs of wood on each hand to probably ease our growling tummies.
I only took a small piece from one of the wooden slab.
I initally thought that he meant to pass us one of the whole slab of mini cut pieces of cake (there were five of us mah) but thought the better of it - lucky didn't lor as the ang-moh guy went to offer also to the other people waiting around.
Well, I guess a hungry woman can't think that straight too, ha ha ha.
After settling down comfortably, we were told that the menu is written on the boards and that you pay immediately to the cashier. Huh? we have to go to the cashier area to read the menu written on boards or view the menu on one of the stationery ipads?
There's service charge - I do expect that the place can afford to print some menus.
Also, it takes time to read the menu and decide what you want and this creates a jam and annoyance for the people waiting behind.
I had the Tunisian breakfast.
So shiok! You've got 2 soft eggs with cut sausages in this tomato stew and you mopped it up with the 2 fluffy soft bread that came with it.
My only complaint was that it was a tad too salty but otherwise shiok, shiok and shiok!
But I can't say the same for the others that my khakis had ordered. Nobody wowed about their orders.
The food were very well presented.
I guess there're hits and misses - really depends on what you order.
We saw many people ordering the full breakfast set - so this must have been good.
I was lucky that I ordered the Tunisian breakfast as I found out later that this is one of their specialty dish.
Prices hover around $20 per dish. I guess since it's at Mandarin Gallery, this price range is to be expected.
We decided to go somewhere to continue our chit-chats and decided on Orchard Central as it's not crowded.
It's Fruit Paradise.
Look at these cakes choc-a-bloc with fruits piled on top of it !
We didn't order any cakes this time round but had tea only.
Unfortunately the different fruit/flower tea that we had tasted rather bland even after letting it seep for quite a while.
We only came here, as I've said earlier, because it's not crowded and we can sit for as long as we want.
Till the next makan session again.
ZW, sorry if you do feel bored with us gals gossiping and all. This is what happens when a bunch of gals get together!
