The Marco Polo Kitchen

Since we will be hosting 1 wedding dinner reception in Johor, we decided to explore different options:

• Chinese restaurant
• Western restaurant
• Hotel

While web surfing, I chanced upon this restaurant called Marco Polo Kitchen that serves Italian and Chinese cuisine and felt that it might be a nice place to have our dinner reception. Thus we arranged for a weekend to check out the food and venue.

We ordered the following items:

• Wild Cream of Mushroom (RM8.99)
• Minestrone Soup (RM6.99)
• Tea (RM5.99)
• Spaghetti Carbonara (RM15.99)
• Pumpkin Ravioli (RM18.99)
• Steak Sandwich (RM18.99)

• Chicken Cordon Bleu (RM22.99)
• Kids' meal: Mac & Cheese and waffle with vanilla ice cream (not too sure of the price)
• 5 glasses of water

Do note that water is chargeable. And it comes with 10% taxes and 6% service charge. Our total bill came up to RM160 for 6 adults and 1 child.

Verdict:

Food reasonably priced

No pork, no lard

Clean

Nice ambience

Quick service

 

Overall, the food were pretty good and everybody was enjoying it but here comes the disappointing part. J ordered the chicken cordon bleu and when he started cutting the centre, I noticed that the chicken on the inside was only half-cooked. We immediately alerted the manager and requested for a change, he brought it back to the kitchen to recook it and it ended up being slightly dry, gosh.

 

Since he knows that we are considering this place as our wedding venue,  we expressed our disappointment and concern that uncooked food can cause food poisoning for our guests if the chef is not careful about it but he just shrugged it off by saying that he "understands if we do not shortlist them at the end of the day". Not a word of apology or reassurance which is very disappointing. Despite the good venue and scrumptious food, we decided to drop this restaurant off our list of venues, to save us the possibility of causing mass food-poisoning on our wedding day! :(

 

P.S. Totally forgot to take photo of the food as we were all starving haha.

J and I chanced upon this tiramisu shop on the way to Clarke Quay station and decided to pop in for some desserts. We ordered a lychee tiramisu and a dark cherry tiramisu, S$6.80 each. They also serve classic and matcha tiramisu and a variety of drinks including freshly brewed coffee.

The lychee tiramisu was pretty unique as it was iced with cinammon powder instead of the usual cocoa powder. The fruit bits in both the tiramisu gives the dessert a boost of freshness and it helps to balance the strong liquor taste. Both flavours were pretty delicious and has a very special taste to it so if you are feeling adventurous, do give it a try, you will be in a surprise :)

Note: If I’m not wrong, the only payment mode available is by cash.

Ciao!
