I know I wrote about this lunch deal meal not too long before.
And whilst the meal here this time was no different from the meal I had the last time, still I think it worth writing, because this place is (indeed) worth visiting.
There are those amongst us who feel that repeat experiences need not be mentioned, but I don't agree.
What with life being what it is these days, every experience is a precious one, and ought to be cherished and valued and held.
I went for the same menu at Cineleisure's BBRC cafe today.
It had not been my intention.
I had wanted to try the chicken- I had been thinking of fried chicken for a while- but it wasn't available today, so back it was to the pork ribs and the spaghetti.
Was it good?
Did it meet my expectations the same way I had had mine the last time I came?
Yes, of course.
If there is one thing about this place, I should say it is their consistency.
It might not be same chef in the kitchen, it might not be the same servers, but the food is the same.
Whether it be the salad of those vegetables I call the bitter bitter lettuce, or the sour dressing that I don't know what it is, but it actually makes the salad refreshing and easy to eat.
I wouldnt 'know what to do if the salad came just by itself without any form of dressing.
That would be so raw.
Along with the salad of raw, bitter bitter vegetables came a small dish of steamed gyoza dumplings, both pieces of which were really cute, but I didn't take a picture.
In any case they looked same way like this they looked last time.
Same ingredients, same level of chew.
I however forgot to inform the staff to make my Bulgogi Pork Ribs Pasta less spicy, so yeah, it was a heck lot of a kick I got (again) after the first bite.
May I say that my threshold for spice this afternoon seemed to be lesser as compared to the last time I ate?
It didn't diminish my enjoyment of the dish, it didn't take away anything, but a part of me decided today's spice was a bit too overwhelming and better it be that I space my spaghetti out instead of eating it all at one go.
Let's say I took two hours to finish all the spaghetti.
I didn't take that long a time with the Pork Rib though.
The meat was tender, soft, literally falling off the bone, and the sauce of bulgogi (if there be one) was both sweet and savory, making every bite of the pork pleasant to the palate.
So good was it that when it came to the last part I put down decorum, put down table etiquette, and reached for the rib with my hands.
Eating with hands does make it more enjoyable, so they say, but it is the flavor that makes this rib completely stand out.
See, I'm used to my meats either savory or sweet, one or the other.
This one was an excellent calibration of both balanced out so well where the meat of the pork was neither too sweet nor too savory.
Such a joy for a weekday afternoon, I tell you.
I'll be coming back here in future.
I haven't yet tried the Fried Chicken with Japanese Curry.
What's more, there's another dish on their main menu that I want to have.
It will be at RRP of at least $25nett, I think, no lunch deal of $9.90++ for their Fish & Chips, but from what I love about their Bulgogi Pork Ribs Pasta, and their Chargrilled Sirloin Steak with Fries- which again this afternoon was the meal choice of my friend- I'm quite sure it will be satisfyingly good.
I like the fish of Fish & Chips battered, not breaded, anyway.
