Dinner at Ma Maison

Bobo and girlfriends had the chance to visit Ma Maison on a Wednesday evening. Thinking that it’s a weekday evening and that they were there at 8pm, there would be less people. Boy, were they wrong... There was a queue snaking out of the restaurant. They waited for 30 minutes before they were shown a seat. Very popular place indeed. They ordered and settled to take photographs while waiting for their food. They noticed that there were a few tables with Jap patrons and that’s usually a sign that there’s good Jap food in existence.

Presents Bobo got for Girlfriends.

Cute little Coin purses with tissue holder attached.

There were candy canes passed around too!


The food they had....

Escargots

This is done with garlic. It was delicious! Served up warm, it was very fragrant and they were good to provide all the right utensils for extracting the flesh.

Hamburger Steak
The meat was well minced and packed in a patty. It is served with an egg and some potato, doused in brown sauce. Even the waitress said “brown sauce” So they have no idea what sauce it is actually. Even though Bobo's not really one for meat, she did like this one as the meat was minced and easy on the stomach.

Potato Gratin with Prawn and Scallops
She loved this potato and cheese combination. There weren’t many prawns and scallops though.. Bobo thinks there was a grand total of two each. But this is one dish you have to share with friends. One person can’t finish the whole plate.

Pork Cutlet

This is served with two sauces and mineral salt. The waitress explained what they should do with the sauces but when she left, all four of them were still baffled because they couldn’t understand what she said. Well in the end, they did it the Singaporean way - Rojak style. They put all the sauces into the little dish she gave and just dipped the pork pieces into it. The cutlet was a little on the tough side, a little too difficult to chew. The meat inside didn’t have any taste and the crisp outside was a little bland too. The potato it was served with was nice though.

Cuttlefish Ink Spaghetti

Bobo was a little taken aback by how black the spaghetti came. But all her companions swore by this dish so she tried it. It was yummy! Just good on its own. Her only grievance is that it is a little on the dry side but she will definitely order this dish again.

Goma Ice Cream (Sesame)

This is her first go at such a flavour and she’d have to say it has a special taste to it. The ice cream left a strong aftertaste. It wasn’t sweet but did have a very strong taste of sesame.

Brownie with Ice Cream

They all loved the brownie. Bobo, being a dessert lover, would say this is one of the better brownies she's had. It’s not too dry nor moist and has just enough chocolate flavour so that one will not be sick of the taste before finishing.

And last they had the Apple pie!

They stuck a candle in it and whispered HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

The total damage was $87 for the four of them which is quite reasonable really.
