Food Foundry Review

Went to Food Foundry for Xmas lunch. Reached there around 1130am and was surprised at the crowd. Guess everyone thought of coming early on a peak day such as today.

I ordered the Carbonara Fettucini. Taste was alright, the amount of sauce was just enough to coat every bit of pasta on the plate. Not good for people who like heavy sauces though. Only thing I would have liked would be to have a bigger portion.

Next came the Foundry burger. The chips looked home made, not those frozen ones you typically find. Took a bite, texture is nice, you can't beat freshly cut potato fries. On to the main, the burger doesn't look appetising, it looked kinda bland, cheese was not melted, doesn't look like there was much or any sauce in the burger. Well, here goes.. *munch* yep.. it tasted as bland as it looked. Tasteless, lucky I didn't order this hehe.. So I went back to eat my carbonara.

Since the carbonara portion was small, I was quick to enter the next phase of my meal.. the desssert. I ordered the mille crepe, this was the main reason we came to food foundry. Having first tasting the mille crepe at Nadeje, Malacca, I fell in love with the texture of the cake. Those of you who have tried this know what i mean. Since then, i've searched for any place nearby that sells it. Who would have thought there would be one so near to where I lived.

Well.. here's the taste test, Nadeje in malacca is still better than food foundry, texturewise, food foundry's mille crepe is on the softer side, so its harder to feel the the layers as you eat it. Well.. this still beats going all the way to malacca for it.

Overall, we had an OK experience at Food Foundry, the cake is a must to try. Avoid the foundry burger at all costs. Pricewise is a little high but is worth it for some of the items on the menu. We will still go back to try the other dishes they have.
