O-My-Burger!

Our target restaurant was fully booked today and we were too hungry to wait for lunch late, so we decided to go to the best available alternative. It's Marmalade Pantry again. We still had to wait for our table, the 10 minutes waiting time promised, extended to some 15 minutes. Beggars can't be choosy.

We got our table and we knew what we wanted. I had the hamburger. With the recommendation from the waiter, I made that a deluxe hamburger with Porcini Mushroom. I was full and satisfied. Good lunch!

Marmalade Again...

I took a different family member this time. We went there before 12 , after church, but before our planned shopping. My third time in their new premise was a charm, I got to have the dessert, a slice of Lemon Meringue Cake, and a cup of Cappuccino. Of course I had them shared and that was after we had our meal.

This time, I wanted to try something smaller than what I normally had there and went to their Quiche Lorraine with Leek and Canadian Bacon. However, I did not find both the salad and the quiche to be appealing to my taste. I like the presentation. My companion this time was Miss K, she had Avocado Caesar Wrap with Vegetable Chips. Hers, I found out, was tastier than my pick.

Back to Marmalade...

I was back at Marmalade Pantry again last Saturday. This time, my partner in crime was DH. It's normally a little challenging to get him to dine in a new place, but this time, he obliged rather easily.

I wanted to try something that I had not had before, at the same time I wanted something on the healthier side. Based on my previous visits, I knew that they serve a rather big size of salad, this one was no exception. The waiter confirmed that my Wild Rice salad was a full meal. The salad was a mix of wild rice, granny smith, cranberries served on char-grilled zucchini with mixed herbs dressing. The size was too big help for me and I got help from my companion.

DH hardly goes to the places that he is not familiar. He likes linguini and he stuck to it. He had Crab meat Linguini. The noodles were served with tomato, pine nuts and chili. I could taste some Asian flavor in it. We were tempted to get some desserts but could not decide on what we wanted, but agreed on a cup of Cappuccino each. When the bill came, we found out that DH's friend that we met at the restaurant, had picked up the tab and what left unpaid was only our Cappuccino. An unexpected treat. Thanks, J!

Warm Spinach Salad

This is my second time dining at Marmalade Pantry. This time, the restaurant has moved to a new location in Orchard Rd, it is located on the 3rd floor of ION. After many years, I went back to the same dish that I had before, i.e Warm Spinach Salad. The huge salad was served with fried mozzarella, bacon, pine nuts and burnt butter dressing. It was really filling. I never had so much spinach at one go, but I had no complaint, except that it made me so fullllllll!!!!
