Field Mushroom Soup with Truffled croutons - $10
My half portion of the soup, looks pretty okay rite? And they also made sure that we each had a small slice of bread. LOL
This soup will most likely appeal to people who like truffle, coz it was pretty obvious.
Seared Scallop Linguini with Tiger Prawn bisque - $24
Proof of 2 portions! Hehe
The pasta was served in a soupy style, just like our Chinese prawn soup noodle. In fact, the soup tasted like one too. Probably not your choice if you prefer thicker sauce base for your pasta.
William - $4.50
Chocolate cake with william pear and vanilla with butter cream frosting
Ok, let's "dissect" this cake. First of all, the vanilla with butter cream frosting was terribly sweet. I have a pretty high threshold for sweetness but this was simply too sweet, for goodness sake. Even eating sugar cube itself taste much better. Guess what we did? Scrapped off the frosting lor..
What left behind now was simply just ordinary (sweet) chocolate cupcake and the location of the william pear was a mystery.
Bananarama - $4.50
Banana walnut cake with caramel cream cheese
*******
Red Velvet Cupcake - $4.80 after GST
red velvet cake with coconut cream cheese frosting
I didnt manage to try their popular Red Velvet cupcake when I dined in, so I made it a point to return to try it to find out whether it's really that good.
Take away cupcake was nicely packed in a microwave-able container, which made heating up very conveniently. Best part? There is no extra charges on the container. Perhaps you can argue that the cupcake itself is pricy. Then again, if you think about it, they are already charging the same price when you dine in, so actually they can charge you for the container like some other place, so I personally view it as a nice gesture.
The cupcake itself? Yawn, not impressive again and I dun understand why it is always sold out. Probably they only made like one per day? =p
Overall, I think maybe I dun really like cupcakes even though they seem to be everywhere nowadays, with cupcake specialty shop such as Twelve Cupcake sprouting up. Such trend simply just over-glam a simple cupcake and then charge a premium price for it. I do agree they look cute on photos, other than that, they are just normal cake in a cup.
As for Marmalade Pantry, it's probably a convenient place to meet up with gal friends for tea, but the food itself probably need to buck up to make it a better place.
