Le Rida (Bukit Timah)

Steak was so bad the table near me stopped his gf from trying it! Tasted funky and weird, leaves a nasty aftertaste as well

The 3 lamb shanks were quite tender but the meat was still a bit difficult to get off the bone. The sauce, however, was really good! It was piquant in a good way. The steak was also quite good because it was not overcooked but still a bit chewy.

The duck leg that came was served confit-style but the meat was really stringy and dry! It was so tough that it was hard to get through.

®️: 5/10

The food here was mediocre, to say the least. The moment we walked in, no one greeted us and we sat at a table in the middle of the ghostly empty restaurant for a while before we were noticed. The sole waiter then finally gave us a menu without a word. While we were ordering, the waiter kept pushing us to order more, to the point that it almost got uncomfortable...?

As for the food, the feta cheese spring rolls were quite tasty but it's quite hard to get deep fried cheese wrong.

Fried spring rolls stuffed with fetta cheese, onion, parsley, mint and pine kernels. These were fried to perfection, but to be honest I could only taste the feta cheese and not the fragrance of the other ingredients. Not the most authentic but still somewhat tasty if you just want something fried!

The lamb chop was juicy but a tad too oily. The saffron rice also went well with the tender meat and the portion was just right. Worth it under the 1 for 1 deal under burpple beyond, but wouldn’t order it again.

What exactly: “Chicken morsels skewered with whole mushrooms, marinated with garlic mayonnaise & mustard paste served with saffron rice.” — menu

Price on menu: $20.00

Thoughts on food: Not sure what I was expecting but the taste was a good surprise. Saffron rice tasted kinda bland (not sure if it was supposed to be that way?). There was only one mushroom.

Will I order this again: No only because I want to try other dishes. As someone who gets sick of the taste of a food quite quickly, this was a good mix of flavours.

Will I visit this place again: If I am in the area + there is 1-for-1.
