Gurkha Himalayan Kitchen

Service
I like :)

Great service from the waiter who may also be the owner just because he was attentive. We came 30 minutes before the lunch hour closes but he did not hint to us about having to close for lunch like most places would do (can't blame them). Even though the restaurant was busy, the waiter made sure to check on us occasionally. Best part is that when I left my phone here, he actually came after us to return it to me :D.

Dalai Lama Momos (deep-fried) 
I like :)

These were really good. It was vegetarian, yet wholesome and filling. Most restaurants have a hard time making tofu dishes taste good, this one has succeeded. (Another good tofu dish: The Reef's Mo-Ca Burger with Jerk Tofu). 

Palpali Paneer
Don't Like :(

Too creamy and lacking in flavour. Was similar to Shahi Paneer, but definitely not as good.

Tibetan Bun
I don't like :(

I was really expecting more from this bun, but it was just bland and slightly sweet. Kind of like the buns you can get at the Chinese bakeries here, but not as good. My friend, however did enjoy this bun

Will I be back?
Yes.

I'd like to try the other appetizers on their menu since I've heard good things about them.

Anton's

Big Portions :).

But...

The salt in the Veggie Lasagna was over powering :(.

The leftovers tasted good the next day though :).




Service was consistent.

Leonidas - Poor Service + Meh Dessert = Not Returning

Expected a lot more. Service was lacking severely, two of the ladies working there were being rude and the lady who was serving me crushed my macaron while handing it to me using her bare hand (picture below). Ick.

Rosewater Macaron
The macaron was rosewater flavoured and the filling was really good, but the shell was dry and had a stale taste to it. Patiserrie Fur Elise has a really good rosewater macaron.



Chocolates
The chocolates were nothing special. They were too sweet and did not use good quality ingredients. The only good one was the Ganache chocolate (bottom left), the other 5 were just meh.
