I didn't feel like ramen so had the rice.
There are three choices.

Codfish roe Tamago mini don:
This would have been nice but the egg tasted nasty because you could taste rancid oil.

What a waste!! If the oil had been fresh or the thing that they used to cook the egg was clean then the delicate egg wouldn't have absorbed those foul flavours.

( I think normally people will just accept this weird oil taste and carry on eating it.)
++++++
Takana Meshi mini don with codfish roe:

This one was quite tasty with dried shrimps, pickled veg and codfish roe but it was quite salty as well.

Since the last visit the menu has changed, the price of the curry has gone up instead of going down like the pound!!!
The pizza was new on the menu so I ordered it.
It was really properly cheesy and the the pizza base was soft and chewy, however the chips were hard because they had not cooked them properly.
I wish they could improve on reheating the food because if they don't heat it up properly it doesn't taste right therefore making MS look bad.

While everyone is feasting out, I decided to have a veggie Christmas Eve dinner with my friends here.

For Christmas, they have sets where you can choose the courses.

As there were three of us, we had a different main course each.

Started with soup and there was a choice of pumpkin or cauliflower.
I had the cauliflower which was light and blended with lots of cauliflower, the soup was quite big so it was quite filling.

The next course were the meatballs in a tangy tomato sauce.
They were quite bouncy in texture as well.

Here were the mains!!!!!
The turkey from UK strangely tasted like turkey.
The fish fingers were again a surprise!!!
They had that fish finger smell too and the inside looked realistic.

I liked the ranch dressing that came with it because it went nicely with the fries.


As usual, their spaghetti bolognaise is good and for Christmas there is a portobello mushroom in it as well.

I was quite full for dessert but it ended with a cheesecake topped with a mint chocolate on top.



Drinks are also included: coffee, lemonade or coffee.
(I wish there was tea  )

There is a present to with each Christmas dinner so don't forget your present.

I love pandan so I went here for the pandan mille crepe.

The filling tasted a bit sour so I was given a fresh one which tasted normal.

As it was filled with so much cream, I found it a bit too heavy and it was synthetic cream so I didn't like it.

I would have liked it if it was their usual young coconut filled with pandan instead of layers of crepe, cream and pandan paste.

A bit overpriced for just  cream and crepe.

Last time I came here with friends and the door was already opened but this time I was early so I had to figure how to get in the restaurant myself which was a mystery opening that door.

It turns out there is a camouflaged button on the door handle.

Anyway, on this visit, there were some new dishes on the menu so here were the dishes we had.
+++++++++++

Les pomme boheme:
deep fried truffle mashed potatoes.

They were crispy filled with fluffy mashed potatoes and fragrant truffle in the middle.

+++++

L'oeuf mayo:

Taiyouran egg with a perfectly runny centre.

+++++++++++++
Les crevettes carabineros:

Spanish red prawn carpaccio served with Baeri caviar on cauliflower puree.
The red prawn carpaccio was flawless with the saltiness of the caviar and silky smooth cauliflower puree.

++++++

Le Pate en croute:

(homemade terrine with pistachio, foie gras and pork belly)
I found it a bit too meaty and heavy for my liking.

+++++++

Le Boeuf de miyazaki:
This beef melts in your mouth so if this is your kind of thing then you will like it.

+++++++++++

Le Homard Bleu de Robcoff:

This was lobster cooked in seaweed butter paired with buckwheat cooked like a risotto with crispy truffle.
The lobster was springy and fresh complemented by the healthy buckwheat.

For dessert, I had the cheese platter.

I love cheese especially French cheese and you get to choose four.

++++++++++

I will probably be back to try lunch someday.
