FIG & OLIVE

Family time again :)

This time we headed to Fig & Olive in Jurong point, to have dinner.

Ordered a few mains, as they were having a 1-for-1 deal, if you want to go for a simple westernize meal and save money at the same time, you can head to Fig & Olive while they still have the promotion going on. That's if taste and quality of the food is no biggie to you..


Tomato based Pasta with roasted chicken with mushroom sauce -

Personally I feel the tomato sauce is a tad too sour and the pasta is dry, like it has been cooked and left there until someone orders it and they will topped it off with sauce and out of the kitchen the dish go.

Chicken is quite tender but slightly chewy, and we did not finish it.

Grilled chicken with tomato sauce, carbonara pasta and baked potatoes

The good thing about this restaurant is that they allow a "refill" of the carbonara sauce, the pasta was dry in all cases, so we asked if we could have more sauce, the staff gladly took our plates into the kitchen and returned with more cream sauce on our pasta, a plus point! 

I love the baked potatoes that comes as a side on the third dish (last picture), soft and the skin was still intact, I love potato skin, the creamy sauce on the potato was great as well. 

Overall experience was alright but I do not think I will go back on purpose (like to hold gatherings here, suggest or meet friends for dinner here) 

Personal opinion/verdict:-
Food: 6/10
Service: 7/10
Ambience: 6/10

If you want a simple meal that's affordable and is not particular or picky over the taste, you might consider coming here :)
