My sister, being extremely creepy with the pink contacts. Yes, you read that right. We were waiting at Purvis Street for our seats that took .. 2hours. No joke. An anon recommended this place but she did mention that the queue was horrendous. We reached at 6.30 (they open at 6) and left our names on the ALREADY-TWO-PAGE-LONG waiting list lol. Went to run errands, collect my watches etc and STILL didn’t manage to squander the full 2 hours away lol. So we just stood outside and perspired LMAO, much to my sister’s displeasure lol. You haven’t been truly death-stared at until you’ve been pinned by a creepy PINK glare. Trust me on this lol.

Finally in! Ordered the Mushroom Cappuccino ($4.90), which honestly looked exactly like a cup of foamy coffee lol. Not bad, had a really earthy taste to it which my sister hated lol. I quite fancied it though! Not sure if it was because we were absolutely starving (hadn’t eaten all day, and could only eat at 9pm LOL)
Angel Hair Pasta With Tiger Prawn And Lumpfish Caviar ($6.90). Loved this! Pasta was perfectly cooked and I loved the little bursts of flavor that the salty caviar imparted. Cheap as hell, too ! Tried to order another but it was .. sold out -_- .
Pan Fried Foie Gras With Poached Apple ($9.90) was pretty awesome! Quite liked the little apple strips.
Pan Fried Foie Gras With Lentil And Pickled Onion ($7.90). Was hungry cause’ our mains weren’t here yet so ordered another side. Wasn’t bad, but I discovered I reallyyyyy do not like Lentils. They remind me of sliced peas @_@. Popped an entire pickled onion in my mouth cause apparently i’ve fucked smart. Almost cringed to death on the spot lol. Fucking sour! Dead.
Crispy Pork Belly With Poached Egg With Diced Vegetable ($19.90). Egg was yummy but it was on top of a giant pile of Lentils @_@. Pork was soft and tender and the skin was awesome, but frankly I felt like this whole dish was middling. Will not eat this again.
Confit Of Duck With Orange Segment And Sauté Mushrooms ($9.90). This was really good! Meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the skin was crisp. It was also served atop a pile of creamy mashed potatoes. My sister was grabbing her cutlery and basically yelling at me to hurry the hell up cause she was so damn hungry lol. Managed to take these 3 shots before self control and starvation took over. The orange went really nicely with the duck and mash, and the mushrooms were pretty moreish as well.
My sister had the premium main, Tenderloin with carrot puree and other stuff that I can’t quite recall. Damn good lol. The beef was seriously delicious. Was a big fan of the carrot puree and the lovely plating. It was priced at $22.90 which is quite a steal, I find! Would definitely come back again for this.
In conclusion, I had a pretty good time, although the wait is really ridiculous. I’d come back again at 5pm to get a headastart on the queue, on a WEEKDAY. Never again will I return on a friday/weekend. It was a pretty good meal, but it definitely was not worth a 120minute wait. If you’re there, head straight for the pasta, foie gras, tenderloin and duck.
On a side note, I’m in a horrible mood. I’m told that yesterday was the last day of the chinese ghost festival (7th month), so everyone was burning all the offerings EVERYWHERE yesterday! Below my block, on the 2nd floor and again on the third floor. I had to walk past quite a few times yesterday and now my throat is HORRIBLY sore. It feels like someone has been filing my throat with sandpaper. Damn cranky.
ALSO, I wanted to get my hair trimmed so I just randomly went to one of those neighborhood hair salons. Worst mistake I’ve made ALL YEAR. I’ve never had such a fucked up haircut in my whole fucking life. I merely asked for a trim. TRIM LEH! She fucking layered the shit out of my SHORT hair, and thinned the ends so now I look like some sorta hybrid between a mushroom and an ahlian. You know that shitty type of lian hair? When they poof up the top and have extremely shitty thin, long hair hanging down the sides of their face? I LOOK LIKE THAT NOW. SO MAD LEH. I told her shorter on the left and longer on the right cause I’ve always had this stupid asymmetrical thing going on, and she .. cut a little TRIANGLE-SHAPED hold below my left ear. I said ASYMMETRICAL and she cut a fucking HOLE in my hair. Seriously I feel like burning her salon to the ground. How can you call yourself a hairstylist if I walk in look 20000x nicer than when I left? Fucking pissed to the max! I’m really damn fucking angry leh tsk trying not to go down and strangle her to death with her own fucking hair or something tsk. Still tried to say like “ooh look how nice you look now!”. I swear I almost just fucking put my fist through her fucking face.
Okay rant over. My only consolation being that my hair grows fucking fast and that I work from home so i don’t have to face anyone LOL thank god. I told my bf I’m not going to see him until this fucking mess on top of my hair actually resembles something presentable GOD DAMN I’M STILL SEETHING ZZZZZ. Okay fuck la fucking cranky now, the prospect of the shitty hair WEEK ahead is just aoisdfjasoidfjaosidfjaosidfjaosidfj
