Ambush @ Jem

Headed over to Ambush for dinner with my stepson and brother-in-law at Jem Shopping Centre. Reached at about 7:30pm on a Monday night and there wasn't a queue. Got served to our seat right away.

Ambush is a restaurant that serves casual European cuisines. Its located on the 4th floor of Jem Shopping Centre.

The food menu is presented in a form newspaper format with four full pages of the food.

We placed our orders and serving was within 20 minutes time.

My brother-in-law ordered Chicken Schnitzel (S$17.50), a deep fried breaded chicken breast served with creamy sauce mushroom sauce, sauerkraut & fries. According to my brother-in-law, the deep fried chicken breast was so hard to cut it off. Was quite disappointed...



My stepson had the Italian Pasta Mixed Seafood (medley of prawns, white clams & mussels) with Marinara Sauce (S$12.80) and he love it as pasta is always his favorite dishes.


For the pasta, you could choose the type of pasta you wanted - spaghetti, linguine or penne. My stepson chose linguine as spaghetti was run out of stock that night.

I got myself a Filet De Saumon En Croute De Sesame (S$17.80). The salmon was rather dry still reasonably tasty, nothing extraordinary.

Overall, not a decent dining experience. The service staff was friendly but we took a very long time to attract their attention to order the food and pay the bill.

High Society @ The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands

Another dinner date with my hubby. :)

Happens to see an online deal from Groupon, an European Fusion Cuisine at High Society Cafe and Restaurant so we decided to give this restaurant a try. Friday night around 7.30 we were shown to our table in the elegant surroundings of this establishment.


High Society, a cafe / modern restaurant that is part of That CD Shop which is conveniently located at The Shoppes, Marina Bay Sands.


Classy decor with dim lights,  nice ambience, crystal chandeliers, luxe and cosy furnishings.


Assorted display of cakes


The Menu

We had Onion Soup as starter, follow by the Classic Fish & Chips and Cajun Spring Chicken as main.

Starter:
Soup of the day: Onion Soup

Norwegian Haddock in Tempura Batter with French Fries & Tartar Sauce & Hand Made Coleslaw


Cajun Spring Chicken
Pan-Seared Half-Baby Chicken served with Bordeaux Sauce, Asparagus, Carrot Puree, rosemary tomatoes & baby potatoes

Overall, the food is average and the service is alright too. This would be a better place just to have tea and chit-chat, not for serious food.
