Tabletalk, TTDI

I met up with Popo over the Christmas break. We went out on a week night as her firm was closed for the week and I was on leave and we headed to a new eatery in TTDI called Tabletalk. I had seen beautiful pictures of the food on eatdrinkkl.blogspot.com and was excited to try it out. As it was understandably a week night, we were the only table when we entered and only two more tables filled up that night.

For starters we ordered the Spicy Tomato Soup. Now this is more of a spices-spicy rather than a hot-spicy. It tasted kind of like dhal to me. Pardon my dismal knowledge of herbs and spices.

We ordered the Oriental Chicken and Traditional Pesto. Portions were generous although flavour was slightly lacking.

The biggest disappointment of the night however, was the Melon and Wild Berry Salad. Listed in the "Appetizer" section in the menu, it can be ordered as a dessert as it comes with two meringue cookies. The picture in the menu was so enticing but what arrived at our table was a big let down. I couldn't control my disappointment and actually asked the waiter why did it look so different from the menu and his excuse was that the chef likes to "experiment with presentation". Apart from the presentation issues, the meringue cookies were not soft and puffy inside as how I imagine it to be and there were no other berries except a few bits of strawberries.
