madam saigon how's brown lump?  wahaha she's growing bigger! and grumpier. my sis thinks this is a very ugly picture of her, but i love it because it shows how she looks every time she just wakes up. on to the food... my family and i had christmas eve dinner at margarita's, faber drive. we were afraid it was going to be very crowded, but it was not. maybe everyone went to town to celebrate. anyway, faber drive's the original outlet and more homey than the dempsey one. also, because the outlet is smaller, you get served faster and more individual attention.     most of the patrons dress down, probably they live around the area. similar to dempsey, it's one of those places you need a car to access.  their margaritas ($28/pitcher) are the best! truly no fight. so far those i have tried at various mexican restaurants can't compare.  every time we are there we order their signature beef fajitas ($48), huge enough for three to share. we decided to switch our choice of meat to tequila lime chicken ($28). nice... a bit like north indian cuisine, but a tad more sour.  chicken taco grande salad ($18). it's big and served in a fried taco bowl. at first i thought the chicken would be the same as the tequila lime chicken, due to the similarity in colour. but they are actually different. the chicken in the salad is lightly pan-fried to a golden brown, which accounted for the colour. i forgot to take picture of the crab enchiladas ($34). was too engrossed in my tequila lime chicken. could also be due to the fact that it was attacked by the other three the moment it landed on the table.  for dessert we had chocolate chilli cake, a special item not on the menu, recommended by the waiter. the cake was moist and the chilli sauce placed was at the side. the chilli is spicy and salty, a contrast to the sweet chocolate cake. if you are not very adventurous, you can just eat the cake without the chilli.  and a family favourite, caramelised bananas in between fried tacos, topped with coconut ice-cream. da bomb! second time in a roll we're ordering this! |
