Dinner @ Bosses (VivoCity)

Originally, the 7 of us, including Baby Desiree were suppose to have dinner together at Bosses in VivoCity… However, Baby Desiree decided to give it a miss by throwing a pretty loud wailing tantrum, taking out Bro and JJ from the original dinner plan. Oh well, the meal must go on!

 Well, I have to say, the place is nicely decorated in dark colours… and I really liked it… just like the name of the restaurant… fit for bosses of the 黑社会…

Honey Roasted Nuts with coated with Sasames Seeds

I usually very much enjoy starters like this, but this was rather flat. The level of crunchiness was next to zero… Definitely not worth the $3.80++ they charged. ARGH! :FUME:

Thinking back, this actually pissed me off… we were actually told by the waitress that a Pot of tea will only serve 2, meaning for 4 people, we HAVE to order 2 Pots @ $4.00 a pot. What kind of freaking logic is that? Utterly -DUMB- I say!!

Fried Salted Egg Pipa Bean Curd

This Fried Salted Egg Pipa Bean curd ($14.00) was acceptable… barely… The size of each of their Pipa Bean Curd was rather small (I had much bigger elsewhere). Also, we can’t really taste any salted egg… just some minced/mashed stuff… 

Baby Pak Choy with Salted Fish

The Baby Pak Choy with Salted Fish ($10.00) was rather nice. Crunchy Baby Pak Choy with a nice level of saltiness to it. More salted fish would’ve made this dish perfect!

Shanghainese Claypot Braised Pork Ball

 Admittedly, the Shanghainese Claypot Braised Pork Ball ($12.00) looked and smelt nice. Sadly, thats about it. The taste of the Pork Ball was nothing spectacular, and was kind of soggy… Mom actually refuse to finish her share! I guess it must have been THAT bad!!

Chilli Prawns with Golden Buns

Thank goodness they didn’t screw up the chilli prawns. For a medium-sized dish ($22.00), there were ample amount of prawns and plenty of heavenly chilli prawn gravy!

The 4 Golden Buns that came with the dish was barely sufficient, and we ordered 4 more at the cost of $3.20. 

Finally, for dessert, I ordered my personal favourite – the Red Bean Pancake ($6.00), and it was nicely done. Not too oily, not too sweet.

To me, this was a below average meal for the price we paid ($98.15). I don’t think we will be returning here for dishes. However, we might check out their dim sum in the afternoon if the 50% discount offer for dim sum is still on…
