    After a hard day’s work at my Conference, my Dear came over to meet me at Suntec. He insisted on trying New York New York, so we went there for dinner on the Full Moon night (yes, the mid-autumn festival night).

    We were starving.

    We ordered the Spicy Buffalo Wings. Crispy, not so spicy. Seasoning is so-so.

    We saw the “fried mushroom” on the menu. As mushrooms lovers, we wont miss this dish. They use Golden mushrooms and Shitake. The batter is too thick. The Golden mushrooms are not suitable for frying as they are too tough. If you are not careful, you might be choke by a bunch of the fried Golden mushrooms.

    My main dish is the chicken chop. The seasoning is not very appealing to me. The sauce is good though.

    I like the penne creamy pasta with roast chicken that my Dear ordered. The sauce is thick, the taste is just like the Pasta de Waraku’s. I dun really like their chicken. Not nice. :p

    Maybe they are no good with Chicken.

      I went there on 3 occasions.

      Occasion 1: Free flow of Candy Floss and a foot-long weiner!

      I think I will go in and order a hot chocolate velvet and keep getting candy floss in future since it is free.

      No joke, the Crazy Dog is a foot-long sausage on a tiny bun with lots of pickles and other stuff.

      The sandwiches are really good and you can even order them for take outs and they don't bill you with service charge.

      Occasion 2: Experienced Half-hearted Service and Half-decent Drink

      My second outing to this restaurant with the Girlfriend had us ordering the signature BBQ Ribs, Smoked Salmon Salad and Frosty Bailey's Chocolate Velvet.

      The good: BBQ Ribs were huge and they tasted really good. The cut was not as fatty as what the other restaurants (like Café Cartel) would serve and the BBQ sauce was not too sweet. The Smoked Salmon Salad was surprisingly good. The flavours were strong but it also allowed the freshness of the salmon to be tasted. I strongly recommend this one.

      The bad: I mentioned the chocolate velvets were good in the previous post. I want to add on that the statement only applies to the hot ones. The cold ones, especially the frosty ones suck terribly. The Girlfriend and I both agreed that the Frosty Bailey's Chocolate Velvet was a rip off. The Girlfriend and I were also rather appalled by the service. It's one thing to be slow. It's a whole new league when they fail to follow-up or do things halfway. First they omitted the iced water, then they cleared the table halfway.

      But at least this restaurant is a great place to people watch.

      Occasion 3: Warning: Extremely rich hot chocolate

      Potent hot chocolates which they call chocolate velvets. Highly recommended for chocolate lovers.

      My friends and I got quite a shock when we saw the bill. 3 seemingly harmless main courses and 3 drinks set us back by $74. After a little investigation, we realized it was the drinks that really 'compounded' the bill. So my tips on eating at this place: - be prepared for the bill or - order just the main courses or the specialty drinks

      That's for you to be mentally prepared.

      On with the food. As mentioned before, the chocolate velvets are out of this world. "Richer than Donald Trump" was how they described these drinks, which was quite apt if not corny.

      I tried the juicy beef burger. Huge portions, well marinated minced beef. The fries on the side were rather disappointing though. I could see them still soaked with grease when the food arrived.

      The friends ordered the rotisserie chicken and chicken and prawns combo.

      Pricing for the main courses are actually quite reasonable. But once again, be prepared for a bomb of a bill if you want a specialty drink to wash everything down.

        New York New York is an interesting place.. The beautiful interior designs sets you in a gluttony mood. Though some might get a huge headache with the vast array of colours and designs, it makes me feel rather westerny. I like their furnitures. and seat designs. Though some people might need a little courage to eat in a restaurant LOUD like this, no doubt that, we do see queues all the time.

        I was there for early lunch and was glad i could get in without squeezing or queuing... I was seated pretty near to the kitchen and i've got pretty good attention there. I ordered Ribs.... and it was delicious. The serving was enough for two and the sides were great.

        The RIBS are honey glazed on the outside till perfectly glowy and the meat was tender and juicy. I had ribs from elsewhere before and lousy ones are usually overcooked with meat so dry and hard on the inside or looked too dead pale on the outside..

        But the ribs here were perfectly beautiful on the outside and YUMMY on the inside... I could say they have one of the better RIBS in town.... I would say the price is quite reasonable as the servings were huge. Really good for huge groups to go out together but not so good for business lunches as you might have difficulty talking to each other without shouting. The lightings were too warm if not shining onto the customer's faces and it made me pretty uncomfortable. But for the DELECTABLE RIBS.... perhaps its worth the experience.

        Very cool place with a good menu........
