Wicheling ako mag sulat in the vernacular ngayon hane, medyo
mainit lang ang ulo ko..kaya rant galore muna ako at para maintindihan din ng
mga expat na kumakain duon.
Had dinner at Chelsea Restaurant , Podium..
I should have given notice to the dying centerpiece that
greeted me when I entered the restaurant as a sign of things to come…
Z wanted to eat crabcakes and I wanted to eat at once since
I was already a hungry pig. Since we have already tried the crabcakes at
Chelsea, we decided to go back there. When we ordered the crabcakes, the
waitress apologized since they were out of stock. I then ordered the buffalo mozzarella salad,
and again, the server apologized since it was also out of stock. Two out of two
should have been an indication of the kitchen but, no, we held on and tried to
compensate by ordering the grilled JUMBO prawns and the saffron mac and cheese.
This is the alleged JUMBO prawns
Pictures were taken up close. Prawns were not of the JUMBO variety but just the ordinary tiger prawns. Plus, it was rubbery, dried and no flavor whatsoever. Most probably, these prawns were taken out to thaw at the microwave for easy grilling. I tried to salvage the thing by squishing lemon juice all over but some things are really not salvageable.
The risotto is horrible. Horrible. Horrible.
I think the pasta has been sleeping in their pantry for more than a year. Lasang luma, really.
The Saffron Mac and Cheese with chorizo and bacon.
How can things with bacon be so horrid?!
And green peas?? FROZEN GREEN PEAS? I never tasted a hint of saffron. Maybe just the food color
eh?
I gave up. Rather, we gave up.
We just finished the shrimps (for that’s what they really
are) to get out money’s worth and asked for the bill. Waited for fifteen
minutes only to ask for it again.
Therefore, no tips for tonight. And no return visit ever
again. What happened Chelsea?
