Intercontinental MoonCakes

MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL
MOONCAKE REVIEW FROM GEEKY PRINCE

Here’s a bonus update. Not on a restaurant, but on mooncakes that I bought. Now, I noticed that there were many searches on mooncakes. Since the Mooncake season is about to end, and some people are still wondering if what kind of special moonckakes they should buy. I must be honest, my details on this mooncakes were pretty vague in my Geeky Prince Blog since I was only stating my thoughts as a consumer.

So here I am as I will review this mooncake as a critic.

We start with Packaging. As you can see, it’s big, bulky, but very nice design. It’s clip handle that hold’s the cover to the box together is magnetic, which is pretty cool since its not often you see boxes like this.

Basically, this is the Mini snowskin Mooncakes filled with fresh fruits.
4 flavours of Mango, Avocado, Soursop and Chempedak
Retailing at $39.90

So the question is, is it worth the buy? Well, yes and no.This Mini mooncakes are made to near perfection and is indeed one of the best selling mooncakes as each year, there is always an increase in orders for these mooncakes compared to the last. However, people who don’t eat mooncakes will not enjoy thesetastes. But I believe the Mango Flavour is the most catching and most tasty. The slight drawback for this Mooncakes is that the flavours are too strong, making it hard to be eaten after 1 piece.  Yes they are small, but their strong flavour makes one feel he or she could be eating a large mooncake.

I’m not a mooncake fan, but since this mooncake is different, I decided to buy it, and my family, honestly, didn’t find it that fantastic. Well, they aren’t big mooncake lovers. So maybe that’s why. But I do know that many mooncake lovers buy them. One best way to eat this mooncakes is to cut them to four pieces per one mooncake. This way it’ll be easy to consume them and also, reducing the strong flavour, making it more enjoyable to eat.

 

One thing I like about this Mooncakes besides the packaging and the Mango Flavour is that they are best eaten when kept refrigerated. I like it, considering the hot humid weather after rains during this season.
So in terms of taste, it’s very good when eaten once a while, but eating a lot of this mooncakes in one go won’t work.

Overall, it’s good and above average.

My Neutral Judgement:
3.5 / 5
Scores differ as Real mooncake lovers may give it a full score

N.Y.D.C

N.Y.D.C, located at Bugis. Never been there for a long time, never thought I’d return as a critic this time. Today is a little different in my review. Basically I’m on my own, so I have 2 dishes from this establishment to review.

 

The last time I had anyone tell me this place sucked would be from my sister. Since I had to pass by Bugis today, thought I’d pop by and have a look and I decided to have a quick dinner there.

First off I want to begin with the Service. Though the waitress did come to me fast, as usual, not much a smile. at least she had a little energy unlike New York where a guy served us with a dead face. (That guy was total bull fucked) It isn’t that big a restaurant here and surrounding NYDC were several other targeted restaurants that will be in my future review. This particular area is competitive with a food court on the third level and a truck load of restaurant of all shape and sizes, new and old on the first and second level. I chose NYDC in particular because it was one of the 2 restaurants lacking customers. the others were packed as hell.

I did ask a waiter if the restaurant is usually this quiet, but he said only on Mondays and Tuesday around the time span of 5 to 7 Pm there is really quiet. I was a little strange since the other restaurants were packed at this time. But maybe Wednesday onwards would have been different.

The interior design seemed a little plain. I was sit-ted nicely in a cosy corner alone as I observed the service and the interior designs. The place is kept tidy, but tiny hints of dirt can be spotted around. If it’s crowded it’s understandable, but New York and Fish and Co coped with it, this joint had little or no customers and I see more tiny bits of litter around. Tiny as in REAL tiny and hardly noticeable, but still a no-no to me. When I want clean, I mean spotless. One thing I KNOW is totally off is the walls. Much to me that the restaurant design lacked substance or proper simplicity, the wall leaves a lot to be discussed about.

Seriously…what the FUCK is that on the wall? I’ll tell you what that is. It’s rubbish on top of more rubbish! Upon closer look I realise there were TWO WALLS with this load of crap drawn on them. What a waste man. I save your eyes from showing the other wall, it’s just plain lame.

Throughout my whole experience there from my appetizer to my main course I watched EVERY single small and large group of customers come in and NO ONE, literally NO ONE even looked at the wall to even consider the menu written. So basically, the wall is just destroying the interior by making it look 10 times worse. Fuck, feels like the drawing is staring at me. “Who the fuck are you looking at, you orange hair bitch?”

From here, the only saving grace is the table.

 

Oh wait, there’s a comment card, but guess what? No pen….yeah…I mean, who walks around with a pen around him all the time. I know I don’t, not everytime at least. Jeez. Sure we can ask, or take it to the counter and write but then whats the point of putting a comment card there if everyone has to FUCKING ASK FOR A PEN OR BRING IT TO THE COUNTER??? Might as well just leave the comment card AT the counter with a pen. case closed! Jeez. I think I’d have better luck using my PENis to write my comment.

So I order Ice Lemon Tea for $4.80…DON”T ORDER IT, it’s robbery at its best with the worst and most dry and bitter taste. I don’t know if there should be syrup added inside…but it was like drinking an old man’s pee to increase the wrinkles in my mouth.

So comes my review for the food. Yes, as mentioned I had an appetizer. Which is:

 

Mushroom Soup: $5.00

Smelt nice. But does it taste nice? Actually….yes as a consumer, no for me. I really had a hard time with this soup because it tasted semi-decent, but the problem is that after a few sips I slowly started to realise that this soup has some problems inside. Most consumers wouldn’t notice this issues but this small details really speak a lot. When you drink (particularly) mushroom soup, it is of course thick and creamy with slices of mushroom inside. But this tasted as said, semi-decent, but awhile later I noticed I just couldn’t have it in my mouth too long. I swallowed it quickly because it feels sort of like too thick and too creamy, like slime or something. I just can’t get my fingers across what happened in this mushroom soup. But one thing for certain, it’s a little large for a soup since I haven’t had my main course. Oh, and the mushrooms were slightly rubbery. Either the chef fucked up cooking it, or itwas frozen and then boiled, OR, inconsistant slices. Some slices were thin, some were thick cut slices, making the taste inconsistent with the rest of the pieces, so to say, I had good and bad mushroom slices in my mouth.

 

The main course I order…

Hawaiian Pasta: $14.65

 

It didn’t look like that. I kind of mixed it a bit before taking a shot to show you guys exactly what is served to me on the inside of this dish. Presentation aside, since there is not much to wow me using pasta, it tasted…like crap. In most people’s cases, maybe it’s nice, and I know it is since I ate it long ago, but as a critic and eating differently now, I know whats going in my mouth. The pasta were tasteless. It failed to mix well with the tomato sauce. It’s like pouring water on a hard concrete wall rather then a sponge. It’s just damn sad. The Pineapple isn’t sweet enough and is slightly hard at the tips. It’s still nice, but I can easily tell it isn’t fully ripe yet. The ham is still ok, but the rest just spoilt the damn dish.

As I came close to finishing the dish, I noticed the amount of oil inside is pretty much damn a lot. When I finished my seafood platter at Fish n Co, the pan was clean of any excess oil, showing that the right amount of oil was used to perfectly cook the many dishes inside. But here, it’s just pasta, and I see tons of excess oil inside. In terms of health, I think they are trying to give me a heart attack or something. A big no-way to health lovers, this dish can kill. It’s ugly to look at, and shows no passion whatsoever in cooking this dish.

So ends my food review. If you think it’s over, no, its not. I’m now going to add salt to the wound.

What’s one of the worse insult any restaurant could do to its customers? I’ll tell you what that is. It’s the plates and bowls used to serve your dishes.

This black areas aren’t dirt, they are worn-ed out stains meaning to say they weren’t well maintained and properly cleaned after washed. Because such laziness is consistent, the dirt soon start to wear and become somewhat like a second skin to this plate. Normal scrubbing won’t help to clean it anymore. It is one of the worse insults to customers for any restaurant to serve their food using these plates or bowls with this sort of standards. People may not pay attention to it, but I do, because it bloody speaks volumes. It shows me how much they care for their plates, the level of hygiene is not up to par with me, and I won’t be surprised to find a chipped plate hiding somewhere in that restaurant.

 

It isn’t a good experience, I realized I was frowning a lot as I eat my dish.

The service isn’t the best, but they are a little lively at least, trying to find something to do even when there isn’t much. But when it comes to initiative, the plates shown me they are lazy.

I didn’t leave happy. I was disappointed, that a simple pasta dish was cooked badly, not mixed well together and no passion in anything in this restaurant. The food speaks volumes of the chef’s ability to cook. Using so much oil to the point it’s like watching an ocean with an oil spilling accident. Looking at it I comepletly stopped eating.

I spent a total of $28.80, a bad price for what they gave. Hell it’s not worth coming back to this branch, and I pray to the lord that the other branches are not as bad as this shit hole.

Fish n Co

 

Have you ever been to Fish n Co? I know I haven’t and yesterday is my first time there. I hear a lot about it, I see interesting service from afar, but never ever have I first hand experienced it.

Well, here’s the first and for those who have never been there, I do encourage you guys to at the very least go there ONCE if you haven’t been there before. When I was brought there with my friends, the first thing I observed is the service and attentiveness the staff there were giving and I must say, they are really polite, attentive and sure know how to smile. Yes, the service is extremely good to my standards. Waitresses actually walk up to you during our meals asking us if our meals are good or not, “is everything fine?” they would always check once in awhile and impressively, they know their food and they know what they are talking about.

So accompanying me today is my friends Swee Sian, Minyi, Rebecca, Yee Ping, Steven and Myself. Six of us, five different dishes.

Coriander Catch: $14.90

Ordered by Minyi, and don’t let the green sauce fool you, it’s bloody awesome. It’s like eating a spicy vegetable that don’t taste like vegetable. It might be gross at first sight but it is without a doubt something worth munching. Together with the fish, it’s combination is unusual but perfect.


Fish n Chips: $15.90

The heart of any seafood restaurant is always the classic specialty which is Fish n Chips, ordered by the birthday boy, Swee Sian. Though the taste is basic, one thing I can see in this dish besides the perfectly cooked fish and crispy fries is the fact that the flour isn’t over used (which 90% of anywhere I eat serving Fish n Chips have a thick crisp layer and a small amount of fish meat inside) The fish is cooked to order and looking at my friend’s appetite, it’s definately worth the bite, however, portion is huge and is not wise to eat the Fish n Chip IF you have a small stomach OR if you intend to have a soup before your main course.

Skate w Black Pepper: $14.90

Stingray is the word that describe this dish and ordered by Steven and my beloved Rebecca. Soft, tender, juicy and spicy. Freshly cooked and straight out right. Well done and well combined with the sauce. I took a small bite thanks to Steven’s charity and it is flapping fantasic. It’s the first time in god knows when did I ever have such a freshly made Stingray cooked to order. Steven managed to finish it his whole dish, Rebecca couldn’t due to the spice. Though I don’t feel anything, perhaps this dish may not fit everyone, even for spice lovers. Careful with this wonderful dish though. It’s good and bad for both good reasons.

 

Spicy Marsala: $16.80

 

A good dish, as ordered by my friend Yee Ping who finished everything except the side dish, a.k.a the greens. Yes, in all the meals, The greens may be a slight problem as most people don’t eat it, and it didn’t leave a good mark with Yee Ping or Minyi, but all the more, as expected, the fish is cooked right and taste great. It’s beyond that, the rice and the fish combo has always be a average combination as in most cases, the fish is average, and the rice just plain suck like sucking dry apple in most places,. But here in Fish and Co, this rice is beyond exceptional to complimenting the taste of the fish.

 

All in all, the dishes were all cooked beautifully, though all the food is served on the pan, it’s a little difficult to put up a good presentation of the food. But the smell, the aroma that lingers from the kitchen as we wait for this dishes for roughly 15 to 30 minutes really does give an appetite. By the time the dish comes even I didn’t give a shit about the presentation, I just wanted to eat it asap.

So what is the main review? Well, I order one of the most expensive items, which is so much more worth buying then some stupid crab I took earlier at New York New York.

Seafood Platter: $24.90

 

Un-Fucking-believable. $24.90, the same price as that stupid crab from New York New York but it’s 3 time more filling and has 5 types of food inside. Crispy Fries, fried oysters, king prawns, fish and the superbly cooked rice. It’s hard to know where to begin, at first glance it’s intimidating to even eat it but it was so good I practically finished everything. Yes, the whole bloody thing! The King Prawns were nicely cut, making it easy to be properly cooked to order and to be eaten out of. The fries, as expected, crispy and maintaining the quality of freshness in every bite. Mixing it with the chilli that you have to request for, it only became even better.

The Oysters are a little off. Looking at the shape and burn marks left on them it isn’t hard to say what happened. They were squeeze on the fryer in order to cook them faster, thus this method squeezes the juice out and the taste starts to lack. The taste ain’t so bad still but could have been better.

The fish however was fantastic as expected. Soft yet tender and mixed with TaTa sauce…my god, the best fish ever tasted. No joke, it’s really the best fish ever tasted, better then those from the 5 Star hotels. The rice hidding below is a strange one. In most cases when we eat such high quality taste of food, especially seafood, our tastebud gets accustom to that sort of taste and eating anything else other then seafood would only ruin the taste, yet this rice is cooked in a special manner that actually helps taste as good when eaten with all those sea kings. It is the best rice I have ever eaten and I give 2 thumbs up.

 

Food is beyond what I expected, service, attentiveness and knowledge is extremely more then what I expected from such an outlet located at Paragon B1.
Also, the simple design of the interior and the hygiene level of the place is all well prepared. Not a single hint of dirt to be hidding or located anywhere. The fish bone plates used to support our food served on a pan just made it more interesting to want to step in and makan our hearts out.

 

Simple interior, yet fun and warm to be in. The service gave me and my friends a smile, and though the price is higher then I thought it would have been, it is no doubt worth the money. However, the only drawback is such rich and powerful taste is not something anyone of you guys should eat all the time. It’s something you should only eat once every 2 weeks MINIMUM in order to keep the surprise in taste flowing in each visit.
In criterias, Fish n Co met all 6 to it’s near best despite presentation lacking a little low on the score. It can definately be far more better despite where they stand now and I look forward to that. I look forward to going back again, and IF Fish n Co had only 1 outlet, I’d go all the way to Paragon just to eat it.

Loves Ranking System

My next review will consist of Side Reviews and Main Review.

Side meaning it is base on the other dishes if there is anyone with me. Their judgement will be spoken from a consumer’s point of view.

Main is dishes I eat, and I judge as a Chef’s point of view. Mainly Main dishes will only be 1 or 2 reviews.

 

I will try to shorten the length of my next review and try to keep it to the point. To give a brief summary of my ranking system and how it works. Ranking is judge based on ALL the criterias I look at. I take it seriously and even the smallest detail and give the hardest punishment. My standards are high because I do the same to myself. So it’s no excuse to be kind.

Rank:
1 – Worse. Dun ever go again. Should burn and die in hell
2 – Bad. Really bad. Also not worth going
3 – B.Average. Below average. Unless you are looking for a cheap place to puke.
4 – A.Average. Above average and is the common passing grade for all located places.
5 – OK. Not bad.
6 – Good
7 – Sweet
—–
8 – 1 Star = Which is fantastic and is above the mark of “Worth Eating”
9 – 2 Star = Which is superb and above the mark of “Worth Spending / Worth Eating”
10 – 3 Star = Which is Perfect in all criteria and mark as “Worth Coming Back for more”

Thats the ranking system. Next review coming up. Likely Tuesday afternoon or earlier. Be sure to come and view my next selected Target.

New York New York

I went out meeting with my friends today at Ang Mo Kio Hub. Friends I have not met for quite some time. We caught up, chit chat, spent some time playing pool, and later decided to eat here in New York New York. Now, it’s been extremely long since I came to such a place. Busy training and building myself, I have gotten strict with standards in my work…and my taste in food.

 

I have been given quite a good number of good feedback about New York New York, so I thought it’d be my money well spent…but no, the experience isn’t as good as it is said to be. I judge strictly because this is a business. How they treat customers and the many aspects of any restaurant MUST always have high standards. But to be fair, maybe this branch just sucked big time. Why? Well, I’ll start with the first impression service.

 

First off, smiling is important, and I never received that. All I got is some guy, dressed formally, looking like he just got raped and lost his virginity and won’t be getting it back anytime soon. I’m serious. His face is DEAD, and I bloody mean DEAD!!! He talks dead, looks dead, and…well I just decided to put up with it before I start getting pissed off.

 

I got a table with my friends in the corner deep in the restaurant and honestly it’s very cosy indeed. Light’s above our table is a little bright but it’s not big an issue. The Ambiance, the atmosphere is actually nice. I quite like it. The place is well maintained and isn’t dirty…well, we don’t know about the kitchen. But service wise, the waiters and waitress should smile more. They really lack the ability to give us an impression and in my line of work, it’s a big no-no for me. But there were 3 out of the whole lot of staff that has the potential to give us an impact, when I was observing all the waiters and waitresses serving different tables. Sadly, they didn’t serve our table. We got the worse staff to help us.

Menu is pretty thick and there is a major amount of variety from western to even modern Italian. It’s a nice decent amount in each different section they provided. A little too much on the menu, but luckily not that bad and over the top. You’ll be able to make your choices a little more faster.

 

So what was ordered?

 

Well, we had a table of 5, and we order 5 different types of food on the menu and in credit to my friends am I able to get some honest feedback from them in regards to the food. I even had a taste on some of them to to be sure.

 

My friends ordered:

Cheesy Chicken: $13.90

Tagliatelle Mushroom Alfredo with Crispy Fish: $12.90

Spaghetti Vongole: $14.90

Cape-Style Fish & Chips: $14.90

 

As for me, I ordered something that caught my attention. Crabs. Yes, Crabs…something I wouldn’t expect in a New York Menu. Not only that, but it was a highly suggested (as the menu stated) and really wondered if it is really worth it. So I ordered it, to find out what is so New York about it. Before I get to that, a quick review on the other meals.

 

So far, the most decent (not exceptional) meal is the Fish and Chips and the Chessy Chicken. My friends quite enjoy their meal and honestly, they practically finished everything on the plate. Nice and juicy. But of course it’s just decent, not mind blowing. But if a chef can screw up cooking fish and chicken they should quit their careers, no joke. My only complaint is the Fish and Chip, which isn’t that great. It’s just OK, but it’s taste, is truly saved by the TaTa sauce. Without it, honestly, it’s like eating cat’s piss over fish.

 

The Tagliatelle Mushroom Alfredo With Crispy fish? No comments. My friend finished the whole thing and nearly eaten the plate. Only complaint, small a portion. Though I was told other branches may actually serve more portion compare to the branch we were in.

 

The Spaghetti Vongole however, didn’t impress my other critic. The sauce was watery and the clams that came in the dish didn’t taste as fresh as it should be. It lead me to believe that the only way clams can lose their freshness is that they are dead before they were cooked. Yes, in most kitchen where there are lazy chefs, there is a possibility that the clams were already opened, and kept in the freezer…and thus, the clams die and lose their freshness. This is just speculations, but if isn’t true, the chefs then didn’t do a good job cooking the clams. But dead clams is the only deduction I’m sticking too. When you order, check with the waiters and waitresses if the Clams are fresh and stored properly. So that if it sucks, you have a bullet to drill them with.

 

Finally, the final course I will talk about, and was the FIRST dish to come to the table to my surprise.

Cold Crab served with Clarified Butter, Lemon,
& Spicy Mayo
: $24.90

Looking at it, it really is presentable in a bad way. There’s also one bloody problem divided by 4 and multiply by 10. It’s a normal crab. Normal mayonnaise with spices inside, Olive Oil and 2 slices of Lemon. Think about it. Served in a New York Menu, at a insane price of $24.90, and highly recommended…just what in the world is this? Simple but plain presentation of food that doesn’t give me an impact, and as much as the food came fast, it’s damn bloody obvious why it came fast. Can any of you figure out the reason? Simple. It’s COLD CRAB! How long does it take to prepare the other small sides? As for the Crab, considering the taste that isn’t even close to being accepted as a 1 Star dish, its bloody obvious that the crab was pre-cooked. PRE-COOKED, kept in the freezer for who knows how long, and then served when ordered. I know how long it takes to cook a crab and this crab is served way too fast. Beside cooling the crab and cooking it fresh, it can take twenty minutes which I am happy to wait. What is unforgivable is the fact that the crab is served as shown. meaning I paid $24.90 to have a dish that is pre-cooked, kept in freezer for who knows how long, thus losing its freshness which makes it give a mediocre taste, and lastly and the most boiling point of this meal? I have to crack the crab to eat it!!!! I POKE MYSELF, THE CRAB’S DEFENCES WERE KILLING ME!!! I spent more time cracking the crab apart then eating the crab. Even the mayo and olive oil wasn’t so fresh. It only made the crab taste more like crap.


Honestly folks…if you actually looked at the menu, you’d never expect to actually have a whole crab intact served to you in a plate. I really thought and believed that the crab is neatly cut, served cold with the sides all topped over the meat, but no, fuck me, I am screw big time with this bombardment of embarrassment. I can go to the super market, buy a crab for less then $10, get the sides for less then $5, cook the crab, prepare the sides, freeze the crab for 5 to 10 mins in a freezer, out and that’s it. I get a proper, fresh ordinary crab, where-as here, I get a NORMAL crab that cost a bomb and there is completely nothing simple or special about it that makes it worth a crab the eat compared to the super market.

 

New York New York. It’s a decent place, and I cannot say its bad to the bone. But from previous past experiences, It’s usual western meal of Fish, Chicken and Italian Pasta are probably the hits. I know their pizza is ok, but that is last time, now I don’t know, but I will eventually check. My update to you all, don’t get anything that doesn’t sound like New York or even French in there. It’s not worth the price. DON’T EVEN attempt to believe the menu’s words if they put a star or a word or a logo or a naked woman or whatever crap they give. I have tasted 2 meals there both stating it was good…and they’re weren’t even close to me giving it a 1 star of approval.

 

In case you are all wondering what this second meal is? Well, to help you safe some money and let you know… I bought:

Big Apple Crepe: $6.90

 

To cut it short, it sucks. The combination of what I believe to be boiled apple and raisins in a sauce and wrapped in this Crepe paper sheets is a fine idea, but the sauce is too thick. I asked a waitress about this dish and was told it’s a popular seller. Fuck me, I can’t trust the menu now I can’t trust the staff. Or maybe…JUST maybe, I have different taste? No, if its good, its good, if it sucks, it sucks BALLS! But honestly, the sauce I felt is too thick. The right sauce is too little, the wrong sauce is too much. Buy it at your own risk as they come in 3 types of flavours.  I perhaps got the wrong one for me. Ether way, I didn’t have a great experience from the food. To end today’s review on New York New York, I really encourage you people to demand a better service if the outlet you go to, have lousy staff. Why? Adding the 7% GST  and 10% Service charge, total up alone cost a whooping $17 extra and this is not something to laugh about. It is totally day light bloody robbery for a BULL LOAD OF CRAP service which they gave.

 

Food: There is a balance of good and bad. In terms of seafood, no chance. They can’t screw up Chicken and Fish. But the rest is really mediocre and need some work. Will the other dishes be exceptional? Only time will tell in my next visit. Other then that, Anything that’s seafood, likely to suck. (In only this outlet I hope.) But western New York Style definately a Plus up.

Presentation: Food Presentation is simple, but some are too simple, you know exactly what is served and that just doesn’t excites me anymore. Simple may be important, but predictable is not.

Hygiene: Clean outside and there isn’t anything filthy on the floor. Tables are all properly cleaned before used. Overall, exceptional job in hygiene but we won’t know about the kitchen.

Guest Service: Most of the staff there don’t smile. Some do, and it’s thanking the stars if you get this staffs. But majority just sounded like they don’t care. One in particular had an impression of wanting to murder his guests. It’s a problem they have to work in this branch.

Staff Knowledge: Though not mentioned, Staff knowledge in food is so-so. There are some food they actually know how popular and how well it can be served, and some, they really have no idea. That aside, their ability to explain their food is lacking, showing that they have poor communication skills. Only two staffs stood out from the bunch I spoke to.

Interior Design: Interior is cosy and fantastic. It is indeed one of their strong points. It makes people want to go in, have a seat and eat there.
