Olive Vine @ Suntect

Today was such a tiring and fun day at the Gardens by the Bay and after that we had dinner at Suntect City - Olive Vine. Basically the food here has the same concept as Hans, but this is a much better buy and cheaper - well, slightly!

My family had the deluxe set meal which is the regular entrée top up with S$4. These will sum up to a main course, soup of the day, a drink, and a dessert ( Chocolate Cake | Carrot Cake | Tapioca ).

Firstly, the soup of the day was mushroom soup with diced garlic bread. Thankfully is wasn't a diluted soup, but it was good, the mushroom used were not the usual canned button mushroom, plus points!

Chicken Arrabiata - Spicy S$9.90. This one came with a choice of spicy or regular spaghetti at the side. This dish is really good, the spaghetti is really spicy and springy. The fried chicken was good for the price, but it was tender.

My auntie had the Pork Steak with rice, the steak was tender and not hard as in the overcooked meat manner. The gravy served with it is the mushroom sauce, regular tasting but still good. The coleslaw was not bad, sweet and slightly creamy. Overall this is quite a nice dish especially with the price range in mind - S$8.90, really filling though, which goes the same for the Chicken Arrabiata.

The Pork Cutlet and Chicken Cutlet were regular, but served in a large portion - S$8.90 each. Both served with lots of fries, crispy fries.

Finally, My mother had the Chicken Steak which looked really good - S$8.90. The chicken with pepper sauce is simply delicious, this is a good dish. They come with 2 slices of garlic bread served at the side. The garlic bread is nice and crispy and tasty, not like some places they would serve garlic bread without putting much spread on it.

Finally the desserts, it was just a small slice for each person, but I would have to say that the carrot cake was the most outstanding. It is soft, and sweet and yet crunchy at the same time, the butter at the top of the cake had a little jelly like texture, a really cute feeling in my mouth. The chocolate cake is just a regular brownie slice in chocolate sauce, and the tapioca is regular as well.

Generally for the price range, I would say that the food here is pretty good and not too pricey. Another plus point was that they are quick with serving the food. They have roughly the same concept as Hans where you get a table then order at the counter, though at Olive Vine they would serve you the food course by course. Additional water and soviets are under self service.

Definitely would visit there again =)
