Dining @ Menotti (Raffles City)

Friday, dreadful day. Went to work even though i had flu since Thursday. Thought i was able to pull through the day but was feeling very nausea after lunch and keep getting a sudden wave of cold. Went to see the doc after lunch but was not able to leave early due to one hysterical client, hitting me with a barrage of paltry question. Ok, i'm being a meany but i was sick. Apathy, please!! And i was made to run from the 13 floor to 14 floor to find the person in-charge and she is no where to be found. By the time i found her she told me she had no time cos she is doing something for the BIG BIG boss. Ok, i get it that means something very very important.

Raye was also on MC. Still announced that she came to work because she love her job. Unaware of hysterical client episode, Raye was in false hope we can meet her at 6pm. She left office early and when she reached the restaurant, we are still in the office. Even after Jacq packed up, i was still typing my last email to tell the teams on how super urgent the case was. Half the time cursing while i'm at it.

Well, finally we reached the restaurant 1.5 hours late. The place was modern, very dimly light and comfy. The noise level is acceptable (at least no shouting is required for me to be audible). The menu is soo long, it looks like a small cockbook but consist mostly of wines, which we are not interested as 2 of us are sick. After being approached by the waiter twice, we made up our minds what to order.

First up is the salad, the restaurant does not lack any oil. The oil in the salad bowl is enough to drown the less than 10 pathetic leaves served. Next is the mushroom quiche, which is not worth mentioning. Loved the corn chowder, but i love any soup. Then, the mains. The crabmeant linguini with creamy tomato sauce is just right. The sauce is not too creamy and the light tint of wine is salvory to the taste bud. For pizza, we had carnivorous. Not too bad as the pizza crust is not tooo thick. Didn't really like the dessert as well.

But will definitely go back to try more pasta and maybe the ice-creams (which we didn't manage to order).
