D is for Delifrance. and D is for disappointing.
we went to Delifrance for dinner. and we were SO disappointed. we came across it while we were walking around.. and we happily settled for it cos they came up with new food, new desserts and stuff that we haven't tried before. it seems curiosity got the better of me for ONCE! we had one serving of their Terradon chicken and Beef Lasagne plus desserts.
I felt SO cheated. their portions were for XXS-sized asians! and the beef lasagne picture on their menu looked so good - fat, with beef spilling all over. but what i got just a miserable flat piece of thing that resembled a slice of bread, with beef that i had to squint my eyes to find. quite obviously, the beef lasagne that was pictured in their menu wasn't cooked by them. and then the Chicken Terradon (which way is it supposed to be said in? haha).. it looked like roast chicken from the outside, but when it came with the sauce and all.. it just tasted like chicken porridge.
we were hoping that the desserts would prove to us that dining at delifrance was worth it, since we spent $30 there. if the food isn't good, it should at least be reasonable! but haha. the only good thing about the desserts was that they had more taste than the main dishes. (more taste could mean more sour btw). mine looked diffferent from the pics again, because it wasn't decorated at all. no syrup on the ice-cream like what's shown in the pic. just wined-cherries & syrup poured into the bowl and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top. so opposite. T_T!
i am NEVER going back there for a MEAL. maybe pastries and stuff are OK. maybe. if everything on the menu looks AND tastes 500% better in picture than in its actual self, i was thinking swensons is still better (for that price range!). doodoo even said its MUCH better.
X_X.
i miss pastatmania's beef lasagne MORE than ever now.
