Dinner time: Aroma Platter~~

Sienz of eating maggi mee or dapao downstairs during weekends..
So decided to go out makan with friends..
Luckily we did..
It was raining cats and dogs in the evening!!
Impossible to maintain dry while waiting for the pak cik downstairs to prepare the food..
Later the food might got additional moisture inside..
Plus with all the chemical stuff we learnt during secondary school ( Pollution, remember ? )...
Not to mention later get cold and sick..
On top of everything next week ( PBL, class tests, reports etc etc... )...
Really really cham liao lo then...

Anyway..
After so many additional push factors for outside food..
We ( or rather, I ) decided to head for Aroma Platter..
Since it is recommended by various people and it is very near~~
Just at Esplanade only.. ( On the condition: with car la~~ )
When we reach there, it was still drizzling..
So, as usual, get out of the car and dash for the shop lo...
But before we did that,
The waiter quickly came out and offered us umbrella for sheltering..
WAH... That was considerate le..
Never has this sort of treatment before at anywhere ye~~
Hmmmm...
( Mental tick: Bonus point!!! )

The shop was tastefully decorated.. ( According to my friends: Modern Zen style )
We are awed by it.. ( Hmmm.. Maybe a bit overstatement there la... )
BUT
The song the shop was playing was Chinese pop song..
The serene feeling and relaxing mood experience was UTTERLY gone!!
It was definitely not a good choice of songs!!!
( Mental teh-tehd: Minus mark... )
Anyhow..
The menu came and we ponder over it..
I wanna order this Chicken chop CRISPY rice, which was one of its signature dish..
BUT
The waiter told me: Erm.. We don't do this dish anymore..
I was like.. What?!?!?! It is a signature dish ye~~
How come it was cancelled from the menu?????? Super duper weird to me..
So..
I have to be content with Chicken Chop with Black Pepper Sauce..
Hoping it to be nice..

The dish came quite fast..
Probably due to the fact that there was not much people there..
Hmmm...
The food was OK... Quite nice to me..
But the Fish and Chips disappointed Angela...
There was more crispy outer coat than the fish..
She almost couldn't feel the fish when she is eating..
But other dishes was OK to the rest of my friends~~
Not exceptional but acceptable..
( Mental mark: Neutral )
The price is quite reasonable
And
It also do not charge extra for service taxes and government taxes..
( Mental tick: Bonus point!!! )
I do not know about IMU student discounts as all of us didn't bring any ID cards on us..
But it was one of the reasons of recommendations..
So, I think it should be true ba..

Overall...
To me..
It is a good place for meals..
Provided that you are not so picky on foods and songs..
But there are two types of chairs there: with back support, and without back support..
So..
If you wanna sit and chat for quite a long time...
You might need to chose those with back support...
Otherwise.. Back-ache ar..
( Or.. Perhaps I am too pampered ? Hmmmm... )

By the way, there is also some Reader Digest there for customers to read while waiting..
The magazines was published around 2006,
But its contents are still interesting and not so outdated yet..
Worthy to be read..
But the rack was placed in front of a pillar, which was in the middle of the shop
So, if you are sitting behind that pillar,
You might missed it though..
