Yesterday, November 19th, is our First Wedding Anniversary! We still couldn't believe that it was already a year since then. Oh well, time flies. Anyway, since I could not take my leave yet since I'm barely a month in my work, we had to settle for "after-office-hours" activities. So that, of course, includes dinner!
We went to VivoCity (via the HarbourFront MRT station) and had dinner at Marché. (Just go to the link for more details.) Their 200lb sirloin steak was great! I haven't tasted one for... hmm.. come to think of it, it has been years since I tasted one. Hehe!.. Anyway, moving on...
In Marché, they use the so-called "front cooking" concept - your given a "market-credit card", you go around the "marketplace", look around the different "stalls" (i.e., Salad, Bakery, Pasta, Grill, Steak, Vegetables, etc.), then get whatever food you like. Every time you do so, you will be charged on your "market-credit card" -- this card records all your purchases in the "marketplace", which you will pay up at the counter in the exit.
Like I said, the steak was great! And so was the price! :) 200lbs of pure sirloin meat.. yum! One of the best sellers also are the (pork or chicken) franks, since almost every other table has one. We didn't order one, though, so we don't know exactly how it tastes. We also like the calamari! One of the best calamari I've tasted, you can even eat it without the mayo (or at least I thought it was mayo). The paella looks tasty too, but we already had our fill, so we haven't actually tasted it yet. We also tried the herbed chicken pasta with cream sauce - a little bit sweet and spicy. Yum!
The cream of mushroom was a bit different from the cream of mushrooms that we're used to. Not sure if it's the mushroom itself or whatever. It's not really that bad, it just tasted different.
Unfortunately, there were downsides as well... Be careful with the garlic breads there... they're a bit tough to bite through - we hurt our jaws trying to eat one. The banana crêpe was also a downer -- perhaps the pan had too much heat or maybe just a lousy rotten luck, the crêpe itself was too thick, almost like a pancake, and had that "chewable" quality of a bubble gum. We ended up eating just the banana and the almonds and choco bits on the side.
Well, aside from those, it is a great dining experience. We probably won't try their garlic bread or crêpes anytime soon but the dishes we tried are great and the others look promising as well. Maybe next time, we'll try the seafood paella. :)
