Ma Maison

Visited Ma Maison at Bugis, because when the last time I ate there, I really liked it. Since last time I ate the Hamburg Steak, I decided to go for the Chicken curry. I didn't really like it though. The chicken were in such huge pieces, and the curry was way to strong. 

Twelve Cupcakes

Went to get twelve cupcakes again, because I really wanted to try the rose flavour. 

Twelve Cupcakes - Rose

It looks really nice!! And honestly, I was expecting some cupcake with rose fragrance. So this was a total let down. In the sponge, they just added rose syrup. The cream wasn't anything special either. It was just sweet, sweet, and sweet. 

Twelve Cupcakes - Strawberry Chocolate

This looked really appetizing too, so I got it. I really like the chocolate sponge. The cream was also good. This tasted a while lot better than the rose one. 

Twelve Cupcakes - Vanilla

With vanilla sponge cake and vanilla cheese cream, this is a full vanilla cupcake (minus the cheese part). Nothing really special about this. The sponge tasted like a normal sponge cake.

First time at Ma Maison

First time at Ma Maison. First thing that happened in the shop was that, there was this Japanese waiter who had came to serve us (led us to our seats). I couldn't catch what she was saying in English, and it probably did showed on my face, because the next thing she asked me was that if I understood Japanese. Well I did understand and can speak a little bit of Japanese (but because it was mostly learnt from animes, I was kind of afraid that I would be speaking a little too informal and impolite to her), so I gave it a little thought, but apparently took to much time. And she assumed that I didn't understand Japanese.

Ok so moving on to the place itself. The first time when you step into the store, you can feel that it's really vintage and has this Italian feel to it loved all the deco and the way they had showcased their tarts. It's a really pretty and cozy place. I really recommend people to go to this place.

Food - Starters

So I bought a set lunch, which comes with a soup, salad, drink and the main dish. So here is the corn soup and the salad. I didn't touch the salad since I don't really like vegetables and I extremely dislike any salad dressings with mayonnaise in it (and yes, thousand island have mayo in them).

The corn soup looks totally white, but there are piece of corn in them. I really love the soup because it's not to thick, like most western soup, and there is also a freshness to it (from the corn).

Food - Main Dish

So I ordered Hamburg, which is basically a Japanese modified dish (it's basically meat patty). It comes with a sunny side up and a mamaite (or brovil) sauce. At the sides there are cauliflower, broccoli, baby carrots and potato salad. They are most likely all boiled.

I love the Hamburg. The meat was a little pinkish, and was juicy and bouncy. Though the sauce was a little heavy (really salty), the fresh veggies at the side really helped to balance everything out. The potato salad was also awesome (minus the mayo).

Though one thing I didn't like was how they served the rice (you have a choice of bread of rice to go with your main dish). It was on a plate (like a small plate), which made things hard for me (since I was really used to using chopsticks and bowl) and the rice cooled down really fast.

End

So nearing the end of our lunch, the waiter actually passed us this key with the table number, so that when we go to the cashier, the cashier would know what table we are from. I think this was really unique. The key was really heavy too! Which is unexpected, since most restaurants are kind of cheapskate.
