| Impeccable service and value for $$$ at this hidden gem !
Always wanted to try out this place after reading a couple of reviews here....but time wasn't on my side today, as I was just rushing back from an earlier errant ! Only have 30 mins before closing time and 15 mins before last order...so called their number and spoke to a very courteous and helpful gentleman by the name Eric. Asked him quickly what is good for " ta pau " and he recommended the following :
1) Crab meat and salmon pasta with red pesto sauce.
2) Beef strogganof with rice
I was at Bukit Timah and told Eric I will rush down before their closing time. After ending the call, I called again to tell Eric to get them to prepare the food just before their last call for last order. Eric said he'd highlighted to his chef about this and this is a plus point for someone who cares for your takeaway order...well done Eric : )
When I reached there after driving like Michael Schumacher....the place was still packed on a weekday ! Mind you...this is not your typical crowd from Pasir Panjang ! The diners are typical CBD Shenton Way folks ! So it seems this place is quite popular despite being slightly out of the way.
My order was already waiting for me....just less than 2 mins upon my arrival...as promised by Eric...and piping hot....however, being the "kiasu" fella...I asked Eric whether I can have some extra red pesto sauce just in case it's too dry when I'm home.He gladly got his chef to prepare some for me with a smiling face all the way : )
FYI I'm never fond of " ta pau " food as the taste will be alittle "off" as compared when served on the spot. So reached home again like piloting an F1 car.....ha...lucky me the food still piping hot...first tried the pasta....hmm...not bad...like many comments from other reviewers...lot's of fresh crab meat....and a generous portion of salmon as well !
Next...tried the beed stroganoff....tasted alittle like chinese dish...it's not bad really....but just reminded me of beef on hotplate...as there's some chinese "wok" taste...and not forgetting the generous amount of mushrooms...and the delicious rice provided....This is really one of the better...or shall I say best western food along Pasir Panjang....yup...even beating some CBD eateries !
I have this feeling the place will be packed on weekends due to their great service and tasty dishes...not forgetting...affordable and good value for money. And if u ever need to "ta pau" like me, fear not...the food still taste as good as you are eating there. It's really worth your trip there. |

Ha ha...bet you did not follow the recent story about MS taking over the wheel of a taxi in Germany when he collected his new dog ? MS was kind of bored as the driver of a taxi was going at a "slow" pace...so he gave the driver 100 Euros and said to him...you sit back and relax, and I'll drive ! Wah " kio tio ".....the driver now kena chauffered by MS....but when they reached their destination...the driver almost fainted ! MS was driving at such high speed and professionalism...macham like driving for Ferrari...that driver must be shocked, proud....and well rewarded...as MS the star ex F1 driver piloted his taxi.....yup after MS retirement ! Ya..go check out Bistro103....decent good food and great folks running the place. |

I'm from
Sunny Singapore |

I'm a
man of simple taste....but I demand the very best |

The best meal in my life was at
a friend's house in Mauritius facing the beach...it's a simple meal, but I simply love it till this very day ! |
| |
I drink only when I'm with the right kakis |
| |
I'm allergic to crappy food, lousy service, back stabbers, hypocrites and road hoggers ! |
| |
My last meal would be something from my wishlist of the day |

When I'm not eating I'm
enjoying life to the fullest |
