I didn’t go to the one at Central, I went to the one at Bugis Junction (02-51).. I think should be the same.
Location: 200 Victoria Street, Bugis Junction, #02-51, S(188021)
Ambience
Went there at 6:15pm last Saturday. The place is dim lit, very cozy and country styled with Jazz music playing in the background, a candle (those that you use to light cigarette at some places) was at the side of the table. I had a table near the entrance (table 1) , it was half a booth seat (you get what I mean), my GF sat at the booth sit while I sat in the traditional seat, the furniture was just nice, the chair fit nicely into the table with little rooms for adjustment.
The lady that bought us to our table was Japanese, her English is better than some of our colleagues from downstairs. Then when I ask her to order our food, she told me to wait and got a local guy to take the order.. I ordered a Clam Chowder, Cuttlefish ink pasta and Scoth egg. As I was ordering my food, the ice water came. Not long after I ordered the food, the clam chowder came, it looks good, but no garlic bread to go with it L.. it taste good, but not fantastic. My galfriend like it too. Than after we finish the soup. We waited for maybe about 10 mins, dun really know how long but quite long.. our main course came..
Food
The cuttlefish ink pasta looks black and untasteful (what can I say, its black).. The Scoth egg looks really fantastic. Than I dig in, the cuttlefish ink pasta, although doesn’t look good, it actually taste good, I dunno how to describe it, its just good. My galfriend commented that Sushi Tei’s taste better but the promotion is over :( . The Scoth egg is a hard boiled egg that is coated by unknown meat, so I ask the waiter, what meat is that, she told me its mince pork and mince BEEF WTF!! So bloody sad.. So my girlfriend ate the eggs, her comment was, it taste fantastic, (T_T) damn…
Payment
When all our food is served, the waiter gave me a key, a big one with a big key tag that reads Ma-Miason Restaurant and Hotel and a number 1 on it. Then she told me that I have to present it to the cashier for payment. So after the meal I took the key to the counter and made the payment.. the total cost was $44+ quite reasonable in my opinion.
Ambience : 7.5 (I preferred futuristic feel, but still okay)
Service: 7 (didn’t really utilize it so can’t really comment)
Food: 8.25 (Very Good, but still can improve)
Damage: 8.5 (I find it reasonable for date purposes)
Return value: 10 (will definitely go back there again or try the one at Central)
Toilet: 3.75 (The men toilet is old and a bit dirty, no stench though.. dunno about the ladies)
