After searching thru the webs and food blogs, i came across this Mediterranean(i've hard time spelling this word) restaurant called Ambrosia, serving Arabic and Southen European Cuisines. Hmm.. Reviews weren't that fantastic... Basically it was their svc that pulled down their points. Anyway, we made a reservation, thinking Saturday will have a lot of people, but turn out that we were the only customers.
I was pretty worried initially judging from the "crowd" in the restuarant, there was only one staff at the cashier. If the food turns out to be bad, then my reputation will go down the drain! Most imptly, i didn't want ru and the gals to be disappointed.
All of us ordered their lunch set, which were priced at $9(main course and soft drink), $12(with salad) and $15(with salad and dessert). Hannah ordered a plate of chicken wings as starters:
Pic below: Fattoush Salad- Crisp lettuce, carrot, onion, cucumber, tomato, omatoes & toasted pita with olive oil. Okie, that's what i copied out from the menu... apparently the crisp lettuce was missing in the picture.
Debbie didn't know there was cucumbers and she totally gave up on anything "stained" with cucumbers.. so Yuhan got to eat it =). I liked the toasted pita... taste like those toasted bread biscuits. Pretty oily but hey, it's toasted and not deep-fried + with olive oil..i felt less guilty now. But sometimes you don't know what chefs do behind the kitchen... olive oil might be substituted with veg oil, toast might be deep fried instead...
Rating:3/5 (a diff kind of salad i would say)
Main course: Doner Kebab- Chicken with potato wedges. I like Kebab alot. It's a turkish/egytian dish? Had sultana Kebab @ Peace centre but that one was served in wrap while this is served on toasted pita bread. The chicken one taste better than the beef; the beef was abit rough. I like this alot... the white sauce is yogurt sauce and not mayo. Portion is a little big~ Like Turkish version of Carls Junior.
Rating: 4/5
That's Faith (left) and Hannah (right). Hannah's plate of wings had become bones by the time our main course arrived. Took really long for them to serve us! That only staff whom we saw ran out of the shop to get ice, went into the kitchen, and out again to serve us... multiple roles.
That's Ru, our birthday gal! We were eating with forks and knives but i think it adds more flavour eating with hands =)

Korean rice cakes- One of their local delicalies which many people raved to me about!! It tastes like chee cheong fun to me tho. I feel that the dishes were not spicy enough... looked very red but it was still quite mild.
