Back here in little Singapore

How was my trip?... nothing unusual

you want to know where did singaporeans get the culture of kiasu, kiasi, ect.. just look across the causeway!..lol i mean when i was in Genting that is what i see!! people rushing to the lifts, to the train, to the breakfast buffet... they are everywhere.. they will even try to cut your Q. amazing retard people...

In genting they can't give shit about service and food.. you know what i mean... let me talk about the breakfast buffet..
the 1st morning there.. it was a total mess!.. it looks like a huge canteen, not a proper dining hall really terrible... and the people my goodness the will rush for the food, and when they take their food trust me it is a little mount Everest.. when i was in the hall i felt like screaming.. you should know why.. total nightmare, a 3 star hotel?... better to give it a 0 star.. even a 3 star in bangkok could do better... no proper service and food.
BUT there was a fine dining restaurant that i went and i would say it is a near perfect and good place to go.. God answered my prayer.. the trip was like a forest being cut down and burn then i saw a little flower that is still alive and went for it, it save my trip lol... It's called the olive, located at highland restaurant... i spent like 200 singapore dollars there for 4 course food.. won't blog it down now.. will do it on the next entry... trip was still fun overall..

and still no letter here yet.

once again welcome to my critic post.. if you are bored of me criticising about restaurant please do not view this post.. if you are keen to know which restaurant is good please stay tune until i find one..

7atenine- semi fine setting

I have been eyeing this restaurant at esplanade.. it's just outside the open stage area you can't miss it... it's looks cool on the outside.. inside.. you'll find out soon enough.

I went with jia shen to this restaurant.. we step into the area.. there was nobody attending to us until we went to the counter.. we walked in at around 9pm.. inside we saw only 1 table but outside there were many people drinking... here goes

the waiter seated us to our table, present us with the drinks menu then we told him we were eating so he gave us the food menu.. but only gave us one to share!.. indoor dining only 1 table, done eating and we have to share the food menu?.. strange.. wonder if it is the policy one menu to a table..

this is what we ordered:
7atenine salad- jap tomatos, sweet corn, lettuce, bread crisp, tuna sashimi

portobello mushroom- protobello mushroom, coated with portobello mushroom powder, crispy shallot rings

For mains:
Lamb rack
wagyu rump

after we ordered we looked around... looks nice but we saw some things that should not be seen..
we were seating beside the window with this bombay sapphire gin deco and the deco was not clean at all!! lizard shit on it!!! disgusting!... next i saw mirror with finger prints... either the manager is blind, can't be bothered or they are all just too lazy.. i wonder where is the boss?.. or is the boss a lazy ass too?

so here comes the food they thought we will be sharing.. so never mind about that..
first 7atenine salad.. looks good.. first i took a bite at the raw tuna.. sweet, but not season at all!.. next on the bread crisp.. i was wondering when did they make it.. it was soft! then the tomato.. nice..

next

portobello mushroom.. looks good too.. ate the mushroom, good flavour... fried crispy shallot.. what time did they make it?.. it was soft and shit! i'm starting to think that the chef is a lazy PIG!

comes the main course

1st was the wagyu rump.. first look.. terrible! it's dry! the colour didn't look nice at all!.. when ordering the waiter told me that the beef can't be done rare because it is already pre cooked.. i was thinking it is either a wrong order that they gonna give me or the were using water bath to cook it(cooking in water at a certain temperature) so i said never mind i'll take it still.. because if that happens i know i will get piss and will force them to change it..-- back to the beef-- so i sent back that dry thing and then the lamb came and came along the beef that i sent back.. that was real quick to change... i looked at it, it had been drizzled with oil and it came back to me.. took a bite i know it's still shit.. so the waiter came and this is what i told him :" i doubt that the beef has been change.. it is still dry.. looks like it has been drizzled with some oil.. i'm not being a fussy customer but it's not right" he apologise to me sent it back again.. and i waited for the next 10 min... and the beef taste like a cheap Australian beef but it came from Australia anyway.

while waiting jia shen's lamb looks good but he ordered a medium rare.. cutting all open.. 2 of it was rare and 2 of it was medium rare!.. inconsistent!!! total rubbish that they are giving us.. it's bullshit!!... so jia shen sent it back too..

So came the cheap Australian wagyu beef again.. DAMN STILL LOOKS THE SAME!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!! I BET THEY WON'T EAT THAT IF I SERVE THEM!!! SHIT!!!!!! so i ate my thing totally disappointed.. then came the lamb again.. this time round the lamb was done right! at least this is something is right!! why didn't they do it right the first place?... sad sad sad.....
while eating the chef purposely came out and walk pass our table... take check on us.. then walk back to the kitchen.. i stared into his eyes when he was looking at us... then he called the waiter that served us.. they were saying something about us...
called for the bill paid it and gave the waiter 20 bucks.. he was a nice guy.. deserve some tips.. on our way out i asked him what the chef said.. he said something about the beef but can't remember.. then i asked how was it prepared.. he told me that they sear it then chill it again!!!! NO WONDER THE BEEF IS DRY!!!! AND WHO COOKS IT THEN PUTS BACK INTO THE FRIDGE!!!! BULLSHIT AGAIN! IF NOT HANDLED WELL IT WILL CONTAMINATE.. IT COULD KILL SOMEBODY... so i told the waiter that's the reason why it's dry... so on the way out i was thinking since if it's cooked and then chilled again.. how old was that beef i just ate?.. 2 days 3 days??? OH MY GOODNESS..... when can i have a decent meal in Singapore?.. through out the meal there was not enough salt... i wonder if it's expensive or something.

terrible place to dine.. chef did not put in their heart to cook... hazardous place..may kill someone... no wonder more people drink than eat.

7atenine.. more like 7ateshit..

currently i'm just doing this small research of premature birth- why?

because sometime ago when i met with my grandma we were talking and all that, but i could not understand her so my cousin translate for me. She said that i was very tiny.. a small little baby because i was a premature birth. And after looking at some articals, they said that premature babies have a great risk of death after they have been delivered, due to the environment condition, then also like organs are not fully developed and are left to fight for their life.. even if they survived, they will have disabilities, may suffer from brain damage, and other complication..

But after looking at the articals i can't help but thank god that he protected me still watching over me, i can't deny it... indeed he has a greater plan for me and will use me in some ways that he wants.

1988- saved me from birth
2002- He found me
2003- He called me by name Isaiah
- I showed my faith through water baptism

along the way he showed me how much he love me.
along the way he disciplined me because he love me.
He never fail to surprise me.
till now.....


how can i ever say enough how amazing is you love.

welcome to my another episode of critic

This time i went to a Italian place.. it called AL Dante.. located at esplanade...

this is what i ordered

warm baby spinach with portobello mushroom
beef lasagne
and a bread pizza... (i'm sharing)

I think it's a good place.. i would give it a 7

walked in
found a table upstairs and on my way up i saw a waiter carring this huge massive tray with 4 plates and on the other hand another plate.. first it's dangerous.. what if he drops it? or fall.. big mess.. 2nd it's slow.. by the time he bring it up to the counter the food will be cold.. i seriously suggest a mini lift.. save time, faster service and no danger.

got to our table and i was just observing everything around me... until i realise we got no napkin.. they forgot about it while setting our table.
then nearby our casino is still under construction and the plates and drinking glasses got dusty very quickly.. can't help that... so i continued to observe again.. the waiters were all young people, it looks like as if they are there for attachment or something.. really young say about 17 to 19yrs... then also something bad which is all of them folded up their sleeves, which i think it's a bad idea because it will make them look like shit.. some are long some are short.. and if they have to put their sleeves back it will be crumpled.

Our starters came.. i love what i had.. fresh baby spinach, not over cooked, fresh portobello mushroom grilled to perfection, great flavour.. it's a good combination. Yao min had mussel.. Fresh!, perfect! not over cooked! real good.. sauce it good too..
while eating i saw a waitress adjusting a table to make it stable.. big mistake!.. she put a cardboard on of the legs to balance it!!! what in the world!! it makes the place looks bad! looks like a coffeee shop now... next our mains came i think it was alright for mine.. nothing fantastic about it.. just need a touch of salt.. oh and when we were done with our starters, manager came to pick up the plate BUT he did not clear the cutlery that we used for our starters.. he just put it by the side!! oh man.. are they low on cutlery?... why can't he just change the fork and spoon?..

then we had our bread pizza.. well again nothing wow about it.. it's alright.. it's balance in the taste..
when we were done with our meal, we sit and talk and continue to observe.. at 930pm they still accept customers to come.. when is the last order?.. even at 10pm.. anyway they were not ready to take in customers because the table was not set!.. even when customers were settled down, it took them some time to set the tables!.. again that is bad.. real bad.. they are never ready for anything... then talking halfway a waiter came and give me the bill!! i was thinking ok... i didn't ask for it.. i looked and realise that it was the wrong bill it's not meant for me but the table behind yao min.. HELLO!!! wake up!!...

service was not good.. but there was one waiter notice that i was observing them and he ask me if i need anything.. that is a good thing...

for service i would give 4/10
Food 6/10
environment 5/10 now because of the IR, but in future i believe it would be 7 or 8

overall i think the place is a 7/10...
service is real bad for this palce if it was better i would give the overall a 8
