I visited Mad For Garlic long ago at its Suntec outlet, which currently is under a mall wide renovation and is expected to reopen in May 2013. For the time being, please go to Clarke Quay if you are a garlic fan and not an vampire. Haha... Okay, lame.... =p
If you are thinking this is another western restaurant, then you will be as surprised as me when I realized that it originated in Korea since 2001 and currently has over 20 outlets there. WOW, definitely not a new kid on the block. Then again, its presence in Singapore is relatively new, with just 2 outlets - Suntec and Clarke Quay. Enuff said, what do they offer then?

Obviously, food with garlic lor..... Keke
Garlic Snowing Pizza - $21.40
The size of the pizza is super big, so for goodness sake, share with someone else. First, you cant possibly finish a pizza of that size on your own. Second, you will be so sick of the pizza after 2 - 3 slices. It's a thin crusted pizza with prawn and pineapple mainly and a generous toss of fried garlic. If you like something light, this will probably a good choice.
Garlic Steak - $34.40
The beef was okay but I felt that the garlic was thrown in just to match the name of the dish. The beef tasted no different with grilled steaks served in other places leh.... *Shrugged*. But really, they threw in so much garlic (both fried and non-fried) that I almost felt guilty of not eating the garlic.
Seafood Salad - $19.40
Clams, prawns, squids, mussels tossed together in a dish. If you are on diet and wanna avoid carbo, then take this! Oh ya, this dish dun have garlic ~ best for non garlic lovers.
Lobster Pasta - $21.40
This was quite a sinful dish with roe, cream sauce and pasta but I simply cant resist the lobster. Thankfully, there was no effort to 'locate' the lobster meat. I came across many places which will just named a dish lobster XXX and made us pay for it when lobster was nowhere to be found, ya.. not even the feelers. Bleah...
Btw, it was suppose to be garlic cream sauce....
Tiramisu - $8.90
Something sweet to end the meal! ^_^
Overall, food was okay but prices are stiff. In fact, the price had increased $2- 4 since I last visited the place ( I updated the price based on the current menu). The idea was innovative but not the food wise. I prefer the dishes to have more garlic taste, otherwise it's just a name right? Or maybe they can whip up dishes like garlic soup, garlic sponge cake etc?
On a side note, it's Resturant Week again! Have you made your reservation? ^_^
