Top Table Review -a full-service restaurant boasts a Western and an Asian section within the same outlet, it serves to train service and culinary students. Located at Temasek Polytechnic culinary academy.
Previously, when we wanted to go Top Table, they always says it's full. Thus I haven't actually went in to see and try their food. after so long. The only cafe I went is Sugar Loaf, which is just downstairs.
In this fine Friday, I decided to bring 2 friends from NUS to come and experience the first time with me. =)
This time I went, there's not much people.
The restaurant is very beautiful. Many staffs around, so you'll always see the good services they provide. They greet you along the way from you enter the restaurant till you sit down, and after you leave your seat to the lift. They give you accurate information and recommendation for drinks (especially the mocktails).
The captain for our table is none other than "PEI XIN"!! Our favourite one, because she has the same name as Chan Pei Xin. Lol.. I think she's a very cute girl and acts professional.
We have another guy waiter who stumbles as if he's reading a script, forget vanessa's order in less than a min and send order to wrong table. I think he really needs to jia you lor. Haha...
Waited for Elicia for quite sometime, I was really hungry already. Haha.. so Van and I ordered our drinks first. Pei xin recommended "Blueberry Crush", "Mango" and "Tonic Garden". I find blueberry a nice choice, and Van ordered Mango! The drinks tasted quite nice, but I feel the presentation can be improved.
Finally, Elicia reached and we can order already.
Menu:
The drinks on this menu is real CHEAP! Especially mocktails. Outside, the least price is at least $5.
First dish: Appetizer
Pumpkin Soup (3 of us ordered the same)
(",) The taste was plain. Soup is diluted. Not much pumpkin taste. I don't like the foam at all. Only taste better when drink with the diced apple. (,")
Next coming up: Main course
Proached Seafood( Me and Elicia ordered this)
(",) This dish is not bad. The ingredients are fresh. I love the prawns and fishes. Baby potatoes are soft. Soup is tasty. Except I feel it's too little for me. *I'm a big eater sometimes when I'm real hungry* heex (,")
Grilled Sirlion Steak with black pepper sauce. Ordered by Van.
(",) I got these comments by them: Beef is nice. Sauce is plain. Not much black pepper taste. Elicia tried a small piece which is "chao tar". Carrot is cute. (.")
Last but not least: Dessert and Tea
Bread and Butter Pudding. It would be better if they use vanilla sauce.
As you can see, they serve us with a cup of hot water and tea bag, sugar and hot milk at the side first.
This presentation is very good. I like it. =)
Overall review:
Food: 2.5/5
Ambience: 3.5/5
Service:4.5/5
Price: 4/5
The service is great, I can gladly say.
But the food quite sucks. Hahas...
Luckily, they change the menu quite frequently. It's according to what the teacher teaches them for the week. For me, I guess Sugar loaf is enough.
Would you go for a try @ TOPTABLE?
