| Oooooooooooooooooo... give it a skip...
Big O? wat does e O stands for? Judging by e names of e cakes i presume orgasm? as in big orgasm? ahhh... kinky... notti notii..... *winks*...So is dining at Big O a big orgasmic experience? Ooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww....................nope!
Long story short: two gals crazy shopping tired feet hungry tummies.. u get e pic.
Ambience: Hip colorful vibrant... slight deviant from NYDC.. u get e pic.
Menu: More pricey n atas version of NYDC... u get e pic.
Me: plain lazy.. u get e pic. haha.
To start we had quite a few appetizers to share.. we had e cream of mushroom soup.. it's not very good but passable oni.. It's a decent size bowl but e soup lacked e omph factor.. it's not rich nor creamy nor thick enuff verging on a slight watery so nah.. Next is e potato-skins which is e clear winner! Dip e golden fried potato skins into e sour cream? yum! tasty sinful treat!
We also had e prawns.. forgot e exact name but it's fried plump prawns with some tangy orangey sauce beneath.. i kinda liked e prawns coz i'm a prawn-lover (dud!) n e sauce is quite interesting so i tot this dish is quite alrite although my fren gave it e thumbs-down..duno wat's wrong with her coz i totally lurve e sauce!
For mains we had e baby back ribs and bacon-wrapped chicken... The baby back ribs ain't as baby as i tot it would b but definitely not as grown up too if u get wat i mean ie not so small but not tat big either la! ... e meat do fell off e ribs easily but it's not really tender nor moist n is actually quite dry which i was quite surprised given e reviews...it comes either with e rice or baby potatoes which i strongly recommend e rice coz e baby potatoes tasted so stale like it's been left out for days.. spat tat out..
e bacon wrapped chicken on e other hand came with a lovely spinanch mashed potato which is lovely n some gravy.. e bacon-wapped chicken comes in a few pieces n was quite ok... e salty bacon wrapped with e more bland chicken do balance out nicely but i tot e bacon was a tad slight overcooked n also.. too many of it do make u a little "jielat".. e mains were quite disappointing..
The cakes were quite a delight though... We had e indecent obession and e aphrodisiac.. e indecent obsession or e chocolate hazelnut cake was light with a biscuit layer in-between which did not come across as too heavy yet it still has e choc n hazelnut flavour so it's not too bad.. but not as wow as e heart-shaped choc aphrodisiac which is sure to make u have an orgasm! it's soooooooooooooo rich tat it made e indecent obsession pretty decent! e aphrodisiac is defintely for a choc lover as e choc is quite sweet n rich n got thumbs up from my choc-loving fren!
Overall i would not recommend this place at all coz e prices r surprisingly expensive as compared to NYDC.... which is fine except tat e quality or standard of e food is nowhere near its same price range peers n hence makes it so not fine..only thing tat's fine? perhaps e cakes...
Big Orgasm? hardly my dear....
**I would recommend e pork chop as e main as e pork chop is grilled nicely n is quite a big portion. Definitely a better main... |
