It was nice having dinner with my wife outside again. A break from the routine dinner at home or at parents' place... Don't get me wrong, it is wonderful to enjoy family time, but variety makes life more interesting. =) Oh yah, no need to wash the dishes tonight!
We were at Food For Thought, along North Bridge Road, this evening. It was my wife's first (tho' her office is just opposite it!) and the second time for me. They are revamping their website (said to re-open on 29 Jan 10 but yet to happen...). The restaurant itself has changed little - still a little too cramp. There are now proper menu sheets on the tables. Previously, you can only find the name of dishes scribbled on the black boards (refer to the photos in my old post). Other than that, now there are also these nice little cards with drawings of baa-baa...
So here I am back to try the other dishes with my wife! Good things must share mah... She was really excited when the food arrived!
As promised the food was prepared "individually and respectfully". :-p
My wife had Basil Pesto Chicken ($13.90). Its slices of marinated chicken breast with grilled eggplants and tomatoes, drizzled with pesto sauce. I tried of few pieces of the chicken. It wasn't exactly "WOW WOW Super YUM YUM", but it was tasty and looked appetizing! Reminded me of sour cream potato chips! The chicken breast was tender and easy to chew (hmmm... what kinda comment is that...??? hee hee). :-p
I had the Garlic Prawn Pasta ($16.90). This is one of the recommended dishes. The prawns are butter-fried with garlic and red capsicums. This is the first time I tried prawns prepared this way. I must say they tasted fantastic! Maybe it is hard for prawns to go wrong with spaghetti. This is one-grade up from my old favourite Coffee Club's Garlic Prawn Pasta (tho' my favourite is still Ambush Pasta Bar at Taka Food Court). The pasta was cooked to the right texture. But its a pity I find it a little too salty for me. Perhaps I am used to a more "low salt" diet these days. And I would also prefer a larger serving for the pasta.
For dessert, I couldn't find the Sticky Date Pudding, so we ordered the equally yummy Really Rich Chocolate Brownie ($5.50)! Made to the right texture with strong chocolaty taste. It was just nice to fill the gap in my tummy to complete a fulfilling dinner!
Btw, it is still no GST and service charge at FFT. Value for money. But beware, you may end up with a smell on your clothes (sorta like what you get from air-con food court) if you go in the evening when there are more cooking done. Afternoon should be fine and there are some seats outside as well. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner! Food For Thought, still recommended. ;-p
