NewYorkNewYork @ Citilink

Boo.... I went NewYork NewYork, the new restaurant in citilink mall~ Looks good huh. Well, really looks good; eye-catching colorful decos, 'cave'-like dining area, pool table in the middle of nowhere, big big menus and pricing's definitely ok. BUT, but.... the food ... the food, ppl~Me ordered one of the highlights ok~, BBQ Spare Ribs... It looks rather ok~one slab of ribs, with ehm potatoes and some veggies. My companion fengling had pasta which comes with some ribs as well~ and we side-ordered a wat-we-call a 'cheesefries' appetizer. Here's my grading ok, personal grading of cos: 'C-' for my ribs. I should have stayed true to my cartel ribs. [Alot of ppl dun like cartel but to me, at least it was OK!!!] The size of NY's ribs was abt 3/4 tt of cartel's. Tho I dun need such a big portion, but cartel won the 1st round. Cartel won the 2nd round by having better side-dishes. Cartel won the final crucial round by having better taste. Let me talk abt NY ribs. 1stly, very fatty with little 'edible' meat. I was so busy throughout the meal trying to find meat from my plate ok. Dun tell me ribs are not supposed to have meat ok, thats ignorant. Then... the meat [I found them finally~] was so ehm... 'porky', as if it'd nt been marinated... but I ordered BBQed ribs~ Its as tho they just cooked the ribs, and brushed some sauce on it i.e. meat is meat; sauce is sauce~ Then the pasta tt fl ordered, pasta wasn't even 'ok' for me~ Dun think the pasta was well-cooked. Overall, I won't say its value for $$. Total bill came up to abt $45 la~ fl's treat LOL! I honestly regretted my trip there, I'm not even gian to try their gigantic NY burger cos their so-called specialty's already a disappointment. Go Liang Seah Place, ppl.... There's better recommendations.

A disappointment and I embarassed myself again...THERE~We queued for a while and when it was about our turn to be led in, I told fl Me dun wan to take the low-rise table~[FYI, there's 2 low-rise tables near the entrance and PLEASE! If u'r gg to dine there someday, that is the WAITING AREA] Fl asked me to tell tt to the manager. So, when the manager showed us to the 'waiting area', I requested:"Can we have a proper table?" The manager:"Oh, thats the waiting area, you can have a seat and take a look at our menu before we have a table for you."Me:"oh!ok..." (and my face was shadowed with a shade of green) [but who would have guessed tt's the waiting area la!normally these waiting seats are situated outside the restaurants/cafes and NOT within the dining premises wat! Who would have thought they've got such 'caring' services? HUH HUH? Dun argue with me regarding this! N dun luff, cos from the reply given by FL, it goes to show she doesn't know too! HAHA]

Then another surprise from NYNY... they gt the candyfloss-making machine and its free, we can just grab a stick and make our own candyfloss lol. Tt slightly made me happier from my bad dinner tho~ but.....I walked up to the machine wanting to make one, then suddenly, tt manager who's standing besides the machine spoke: "Where's your card? Can I look at your card?"

I'm abit puzzled and lost cos others din show him ANY card!Innocently, I turned and asked fl who's behind me for ehm.... A CARD?????????

The SAME manager spoke again before fl could attempt a reply...."Do you have a license? You need a license to floss."Me: ........ (-_-")

THATS A STUPID JOKE !Then more corny jokes came in from HIM and me got my honeydew-flavoured candyfloss finally! But me... dun like the flavour.
