Marche @ The Curve

We celebrated a good friend's birthday at Marche. And this is the first time I have ever eaten here. The other Marche I have ever eaten at was when I was on my way to the Alps in Switzerland. Same concept, same decor. Perhaps not so same food.

A bunch of us girls went around armed with those little order forms to get a feast ready.

Passionfruit juice. Sour as hell but good. I like the crunchy bits at the bottom.

Lime and orange juice. Wasn't as sour as mine.

Sauteed mushrooms that my friend said was a 'must order'. It tasted like normal sauteed mushrooms to me. Not too bad but not exactly memorable.

The thing to order at Marche, rosti topped with cheese. I am a huge potato fan so I loved this dish.

Another rosti, this time with smoked salmon. We all hated the smoke salmon for it's too fishy taste. 

Cream sauce penne. It tasted like regular carbonara.

We ordered a steak at 'medium' which came out bleeding at the top and had to be 'redone'. It came out tasting a little like rubber.

Chicken sausages with brown gravy and mustard. 

We move onto dessert. It was rather disappointing as it was rather dry.

Life isn't complete without chocolate. However, it tasted rather stale as well. 

Marche isn't too bad a place to eat but there are some hits and misses. The desserts are a definite miss but give the rosti a try.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. @ The Curve

It was a toss up between Marche or Bubba Gump, and feeling for seafood, we headed over to try this chain on the second floor.

Nothing whets the appetite more than smiling shrimp on a menu.

A baffling sign adorns the table.

It wasn't until the waiter came by, asked us what we needed and then flipped it back to the first sign that we realised it was this restuarant's unique way of calling for service.

Our drinks came. I had the Speckled Lemonade in Blueberry and the Cousin had the Alabama Sweet Smoothie. Both were refreshing and delicious. I liked the smoothie more because what's not to like with the decadent mixture of chocolate and peanut butter?

The Clam Chowder was on the side of alright but forgettable.

So was the mash potatoes. While it was smooth and comfort foody, there isn't anything particularly special about that made it stand out.

The presentation of the onion rings was totally impressive. I liked the crunch of it and the dipping sauces of  Chipotle Ranch and BBQ complimented it well.

We ordered the Bucket of Boat Trash to share. While the name isn't exactly appetising, the food was. We got a good mixture of shrimp, lobster tail and fish fillet over a small bed of fries. All tasted fresh and well prepared. We never managed to finish the fries though.

The dipping sauces and the coleslaw. Not exactly the main idea of the meal.

What's life without dessert? And we ordered an aptly named 'That Chocolate Thing'. Looks like they weren't sure what it was and neither were we. Safe to say it was just full of chocolate, rich and decadent. I loved it despite feeling overwhelmed towards the end. Who wouldn't with dense chocolate cake (at least that's what I think it is) topped off with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream?
