2Ps in one night -Poulet cum Podi

Hey heys beautiful people! sorry have been rather lazy lately. Anyways, I had Poulet long time back but I reckon the menu didn't change much since then. 

Met E, he ordered the braised duck leg in sweet wine sauce and it was really really puny. I reckoned he finished his in 2 bites. Tastewise, I think he was pretty please with it. I felt soooo bad for him I wanted to give him half of my chicken.

My chicken was slightly bigger and swimming in luscious cream sauce. I thought the sauce was a little too salty nonetheless the dish was flavourful. Frankly, there is nothing super special about the Poulet Roti. Don't get me wrong, it is good but not exactly worth $15+, in my honest opinion.

Both E & myself were still hungry and so we went for some cakes at Podi. Ive been to Podi before when it was at Paragon. Prices were steep and cakes were so so. However, I'm surprised that Podi @ Raffles City SC offered cakes less than $6. 

I took a quick glance and immediately zoomed in at their carrot cake. However, E wasn;t a great fan of carrot cakes and so we settled for the Banoffee Crumble Pie and Chocolate Rum. The former was really delicious, particularly so if you are a huge fan of cream. I loved the texture of the tart as it was more towards the crunchy side. I quite dislike cream and scrapped the top away. Nonetheless, the bottom portion was yummy enough for me to have a 2nd bite.

I totally forgot I had their Chocolate Rum Cake before (check out my previous post) but I'm glad I ordered it again. The chocolate cake was dense, rich and not too sweet. It was also doused with loads of rum; I'm pretty sure one would get buzzed if they have finish the entire cake them self. I think I've mentioned, in my previous post, that the cake was really dry. I guess 2nd time round the charm! The cake was moist but dense and went really well with the light mousse layering each sponge.

Verdict:

Poulet

Food: Decent albeit tiny portions

Service: Really warm and friendly

Value: Slightly pricey for the food and portion size

Ambience: Hot due to hanging orang light bulb. Nonetheless, pretty conducive for small group dates though.

Podi

Food: Cakes were delicious and not too sweet though I prefer Cedele's due to its towering size

Service: Decent 

Value: Glad they did a price revision (cakes were charged $12 each previously). $5+ for the size was acceptable.

Ambience: Conducive but sort of disturbed by people's gaze (those taking the escalator up/ down)
