Bumbu Asian Flavours @ One Raffles Place

The main reason why this particular eating area is always crowded is because of LaoBan Soyabean curd. Until they ran a 1-for-1 mains promotion, the place was bursting with people. Two servers catering to the whole bunch of lunch diners.

Service was painfully slow, the lapse between the serving of salad and finally the mains was more than half an hour. Even with repeated reminders, our food took nearly forever.

salad

Chicken Salad

Drizzled in vinaigrette, the salad was pretty good with a generous portion of chicken and seaweed flakes.

duck confit

Duck Confit ($12.90)

This would have been the cheapest duck confit discovered to date, if only it were really duck confit. More like braised duck with a side of poached pear, firm meat with tasty gravy. Pretty decent dish I must add, for half the price, this is quite the steal! The buttered corn rice was equally delicious too.

chicken

Black Pepper Chicken ($9.80)

A measly portion of chicken chop that was also reminiscent of the salad.

The food is decent and reasonably priced but the service is bad.
