The Tasting Room

Last Tuesday, MooMoo went to meet up her dance mates for dinner at this place called "THE TASTING ROOM" at Marina Square, #01-08. One of her dance mate came across this review at "Hungry Go Where" website and decided to check out this place.
This is how the place looked like from one side. It looks good huh... but the other side just does not match coz they didn't paint the wall. Guess that's why they only show one part of the restaurant in the website as the other side is quite a turn-off. If you visit the place, you will get what MooMoo meant... LOL!!
The menu looks pretty interesting... they have 50 unique and interesting selection of wine by the glass to match each different main meals you chose to have. MooMoo personally thinks that if you're a wine lover, maybe you like the place but MooMoo is not really a wine lover.
Here's a quote MooMoo found while flipping the menu... Interesting huh?!? A quote for people who loves to drink wine...^=^
Each ordered a different main meal and MooMoo ordered the Seabass with Basil Infused Lime Reduction. The food is not bad but MooMoo didn't order wine to go with it.
MooMoo knows nothing much about wine when her dance mates start talking about the color, smell and taste. i.e. wine with body, wine with after-taste, dry or sweet, with balance, etc. MooMoo will never be able to tell which is good or bad wine unless it's really different.

MooMoo took the set meal so they will start you off with either Soup of the day or Salad of the day. The Salami Salad tasted quite good.
This is one of the main dish that my dance mate ordered, which is the recommended 'Duck Confit'. She ordered wine to go with it.
This is the recommended 'Rib-Eye Steak' ordered by another dance mate to go with wine.
This is how MooMoo's Seabass looked like. It's quite Yummy and the portion is quite big or just nice for MooMoo's big appetite. Hahaha.
And lastly, the set meal comes with either 'Ice Cream' or 'Soft Drink'. The ice cream portion is really small and MooMoo didn't really like the Ice Cream. It's honey with fig flavour. Guess it's just personal preferences coz MooMoo just dislike the taste. MooMoo not very satisfied with her finishing dessert. =p
Overall, MooMoo gives it a 3 out of 5 only for food and ambience. MooMoo would not mind going back to the place as the food is quite OK but she would not purposely go all the way to Marina Square for the food. MooMoo spent about $30 for dinner there.

Maybe it's unfair for MooMoo to comment overall including the wine coz she didn't drink the wine there. They have choices of different types of wine for you to match with your Main Course. In addition to that, the house pours of wine is quite cheap. So, maybe those wine lovers would love this place. ^=^
