Grub

Went to Grub at Bishan Park with my secondary school friends. Actually went there before and didn't like the service. We ordered dessert that never came due to misunderstanding by the kitchen and service staff. No apologise were given and we left in a irritated mood. This time they did not fail to let me down again. Poor service as usual. We had to ask for our menu, ask for ice water trice, ask for dessert thrice and ask for the bill twice. Really leaves you in a bad mood if you were to experience what I had experienced.

Iced Honey Lime Juice ($3). A refreshing drink that was not too acidic or sweet.

Sakura Ebi Pasta ($17)- linguine, fried Sakura Ebi prawns and a hint of mentaiko. There were generous with the Sakura Ebi and prawns. However, I prefer Saveurs' pasta which has more flavour.

Chicken Steak ($15)- grilled chicken thighs, sauteed mushrooms, sweet potato mash. Well cooked chicken with earthy mushroom, savoury sauce and a sweet mash, topped with greens.

Mentaiko Fries ($9)- mentaiko aioli, nori seaweed. Fries that are slightly thicker than McDonald and not too salty, drizzled with mentaiko aioli and topped with nori seaweed. Best thing we ate at Grub. Love the mentaiko aioli and wished there was more!

Slow-Cooked Pork Belly ($15)- sous vide and seared, sauteed leeks, sweet potato mash. Pork was well cooked. Could be easily cut. Sauce was too salty, leeks were perfectly soft and seasoned and the mash was sweet. The savoury sauce went well with the sweet mash but eating the sauce with the pork just made it too salty. My favourite component out of this dish was the leeks.

We also got dessert, Churros ($9)- dark chocolate, tangy creme anglaise. Didn't managed to take a picture as we were all fighting for it because there were only 6 pieces but 7 of us. We were all excited about the churros, hearing praises about it before. We all took our first bite and was utterly disappointed. Sure it was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside but taste wise it was bland. Even with the sugar coated around it there was not much taste. Dipping it with the sauce also did not help much.
Overall we started on a bad note, encounter not so good service and couldn't even end it with a sweet dessert instead, disappointing dessert and another waiting time to get our bill....... Maybe the boss is too focus on his other business that he forgot about this one.
