dining 1 at the white rabbit

started with some "fine" dining and i should jot them down since they arent that memorable. note that i had it as "fine" dining and not "fine dining". not memorable but been there and can strike off the list.

9.6 the white rabbit: wish that this place dint disappoint so much but it did. it started off so well cos all 6.5 of us were able to make it. its been a while since we all got together. and it was a lunch for jamesi who just turned a yr older the day before. he had the table under his pen name james ford which sounded so cute already. and white rabbit- somehow this name conjures up other images for us. a 1pm reservation with pple turning up at 130, 145, 215, 230. food was ordered. supposedly "fresh take on classic european comfort food"- dont think the dishes made it. salad was fine, the dressing a bit too oily for my liking. smoked salmon eggs benedict- really bad. the hollandaise sauce was non-existent, the smoked salmon portion pathetic. marinara seafood pasta was good at least but it not difficult to make good pasta right? just lotsa of sauce and make sure the pasta is not starchy. not sure if the tays enjoyed theirs. had to wait for the princess to arrive to order our wine. picked something that had run out. the white that we picked in the end came unchilled. she had the mac and cheese, which is their signature dish, was inedible according to her. i cautioned against ordering that cos i do not know of many places that make good ones. you usualy make the best mac and cheese at home.

place was nice. dempsey location. converted from an old chapel. lots of space for shannon to run around. wooden floor with high ceiling. this seemed to be my kind of place at the moment. ever since back home, i hate air-conditioned places. i would feel suffocated.
