the handburger @ raffles city after my course at orchard, i took a bus down to city hall to meet my sis for dinner. 174 seems like a pretty handy bus to have from boon lay. it goes to both town and city hall! the ride from orchard to city hall only took about 5 minutes! even better than taking the mrt. we walked around and decided on the handburger. most of the outlets at the basement of raffles city were closed for renovations, so there were little to pick from. when we reached our destination, i was quite wary (even after my sis's reassurance) as the place was rather empty.  the concept of the restaurant was quite unique. the chairs looked like overturned boxes and the tables were long and ran length-wise across the restaurant (a fuss free arrangement to accommodate for big groups of people).  even the menu was delightful. colourful papers clipped to a board, each illustrating a different portion of the menu. the second page of the menu is what we found what we wanted--set meals. you can get a side/salad and a drink for an extra $4 or 6, depending on the side you order.   my sis's side of duck confit burger, onion rings and ice lemon tea. she said her duck was very soft and had the texture of pulled pork. the onion rings were good but too oily. the dip that came with the rings were spicy and i used it with my beef (because my beef was rather tasteless).  i had the handburger original, caesar salad and lychee mint crush (an additional $3.50 on top of the set meal price). i probably ate my whole week's supply of vegetables yesterday. the caramelised onions were divine, it was a pity they gave so little. also, the waiter didn't ask for the doneness of my meat and it came well done, too tough for me. the salad comprised of lots of stalks and a generous helping of bacon and egg. the lychee mint crush was good but nothing memorable. i will probably return for a hang out with friends or a quick meal, but it wouldn't be my first choice.  |
