Straits Time Sunday's Life! did an awesome job plugging the great deals at Suntec, I could not resist and dragged 3 other people along to enjoy the "good deal". I know Harry's for happy hour..more so than food but the curiosity got the better of me this time.
I made reservations though there really is no point in making them anyway because it was barely filled. With only one waitress on duty, you make you way into the restaurant, get yourself seated and take forever to get her attention.
The bar that comes to life at night.
1-for-1, $22 nett you get a 3 course lunch.
Soup of the day - Cream of Chicken Soup
I had trouble finding out the soup of the day simply because the waitress gave a garbled version of this. The soup tasted straight out of the can with bits of grilled chicken. Not the best nor worst I've tasted.
Fish & Chips
Breaded Fish Fillet served with Tartare Sauce, Salad and Fries.
The next table had a huge portion served and that made us trigger happy for that while until our portions arrived. A far cry indeed, or simply...cut in half. J concluded "Ordinary".
Black Pepper Chicken Chop
Grilled Boneless Chicken Leg served with Black Pepper Sauce, Salad and Wedges.
Arguably the best of the three options. The nicely smoked juicy chicken leg was flavourful and tender. I adored the well tossed salad...even the wedges seemed tastier.
Pasta Beef Balls
Served with Herbs, Tomato Sauce and Parmesan.
A serious mistake on my part going out of flow and heading straight for pasta, something I usually avoid at non-pasta places. Four small morsels of over marinated beef balls i.e. proof of marination? The fiery red meat within that was high on sodium. The rolls of pasta was overcooked, on the soft side. The tomato sauce was a letdown as well, too bland.
Dessert of the Day - Chocolate Pudding
Once again, we were challenged with the dessert of the day when all the waitress could manage was "alabahala banana or blahblahblah poo-ding." So it turned out, we had no choice because the "chef said so" and was a haphazardly cut chocolate pudding with whimsically sprayed fresh cream. The pudding was like tofu in consistency.
Overall, service was lacklustre. A Japanese family walked in and out without being served. Half the time, the waitress disappeared into the kitchen. Well, a naughty thought loomed...what if we really walked off without paying? I doubt anyone knew. It baffles me considerably knowing that the waitress cannot quite handle English...and I'm not even talking about fluency nor conversational.
Food was bad, save for the chicken dish. Portions are befitting of 1-for-1, slicing your portions by a neat half. The boys headed for more lunch thereafter.
Stretch your dollar? Not an effective one, certainly not the best deals around.
