Love, me

If you get there before I do,
don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down,
Darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you.

Love, me.

- Collin Raye, "Love, me"

Went to this nice little place hidden away in a corner of Club Street area, Sweet Indulgence (2 Stanley Street). They serve mostly western dishes, we didn't feel like anything heavy that day so we both had chicken. My impression is that the place is a tad shoddy though. Interior lighting isn't that great, some areas are too dark, and the ventilation isn't that good either, giving a stuffy feeling. The first seat we were offered was right next to the window, the aircon was dripping and she nearly hit her head on the window. The second seat was under a spoilt aircon, so it got abit warm. We also had dinner guests; there were ants crawling on the white-cracked walls. And I could see the huge freezer through the kitchen door from where I was sitting.
Mild unpleasantness aside, let's go on to the food.

Oooh look, cheap thrill. And no prizes for guessing what I ordered.

The aforementioned chicken delight. The chicken was delightfully tender, and the sauce was light and not too creamy either. Overall a healthy dish that serves as a pleasant break from the ubiquitous fast food. Kudos to the chef, whom, incidentally, the dish is named after.

Chicken Cordon Bleu. The only other Cordon Bleu I've tried was from Secret Recipe, but unfortunately this does not live up to Secret Recipe's. I didn't really read the menu description for this dish (mainly because I was taking pictures of the menu...) but I didn't taste much cheese. The red mess you see in the lower corner, though not very appetizing, is actually quite a rather nice mincemeat. (I think.)

Can you see what I meant about bad lighting? Anyway this was their Warm Choco Lava Indulgence. Again, sadly, I have to compare it to something else, Beard Papa's Chocolate Fondant. And sadly again, it doesn't compare (although the Chocolate Fondant doesn't come with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nor the slices of fruits.)

Overall, I wouldn't say I had that great a dining experience here. Passable I guess. It had mixed reviews on hungrygowhere.com too. Speaking of which, I'm thinking of signing up and writing reviews there.
