Friends@Jelita

BigDeal.sg had a really good deal for a 4-course meal at Friends@Jelita – $15 for the meal instead of $45. The menu was:

Starter

Chilled Angel Hair & Lump Fish Caviar

tossed with konbu , chives , & white truffle oil

Soup

Wild Forest Mushroom Soup 

 

Main

Roasted 'Sakura' Probiotic Chicken Supreme 

served with mashed potatoes & truffle spit jus

 

Dessert

Chef Special Dessert of The Day

 

Hot Beverage

Freshly Brewed Coffee / Tea

 

The starter was really delicious, and the soup was thick and served in a teacup, which we found quite cute:

We also were able to get pear cider at 1-for-1. The cider was bubbly and a little dry, so we didn’t like it that much. Apparently the bubbles in champagne when it’s poured out occur because of dust in the glass – our cider was very bubbly. haha.

the main course was really good. the chicken was cooked red at the bone, just the way i like it. i was surprised that the chicken was done this way, as most of my friends wouldn’t eat chicken that’s remotely pink, but this ensures that the chicken is still tender and juicy, even for breastmeat! the chicken was well marinated and delicious, and sat on a bed of very tasty, buttery mash.

the meal ended with a relatively small serving of dessert and coffee which happened to be just the right portion. the cheesecake was accompanied by an equally small fork and a mild blueberry sauce:

we definitely enjoyed the meal greatly. the food was good and ambiance just right – however, while a fantastic deal at $15, we don’t think it’d be worth the full price at $45 despite our satisfaction.
