Nuffield Street Mac's Brew Bar

Prelude:
Back in the month of June (the 12th to be exact), my 'Silly' friend and I went to watch the free screening of "Bridge to Terabithia" - which was based on Katherine Paterson's Newbery Medal-winning children book talking about friendship with a somewhat "unexpected" ending.

After the movie, with leftover popcorns, we decided to leave the popcorns in 'peace' (in the bin hehe :P as they were no longer fresh) and headed over to "Nuffield Street Mac's Brew Bar" which I have patiently waited a long long time to try it out!

Review:
Let me see....I quite like the atmosphere and the settings of the room! Right on Nuffield Street, with the lights up on the tree, we pushed open the door. We found ourselves a quieter area, towards the back of the room, sitting under the man-made 'wooden' tree, and enjoyed ourselves the night there. : P They also have a wood fire place with LCD in place, the room was dark-ish with tiny lights lighted up to glow around the room. So it kindda gave a 'classy' bar feeling!!!

On to the food, we tried (excuse the dark coloured photos, as the place was dark-ish hehe):

Pan Fried Fish, with rice cake and stack of green veges

Eye fillet top with (red wine?) chocolate sauce, mash potato and veges

To finish it off, we had the Beer ice-cream chocolate pudding!

To be honest, the food didn't really 'wow' me. It was decent and presentation was excellent! (The veges were stacked very nicely, the eye fillet has deep fried noodles stuff on top and the beer ice-cream sat on a candy-made basket). For me I definitely enjoyed the presentation and the creativity of the dishes (they have better description than mine in the menu).

But in terms of the tastiness of the food, it was only 'ok'. The portion are not big at all. They placed too much soya sauce at the bottom of the stack of veges, so that it was too salty. The chocolate pudding was as if it was bought from elsewhere and microwaved to heat it back up (and it was over-cooked too -.-"). And to my disappointment, I couldn't taste 'beer' in the ice-cream! ><" However, I did enjoy the eye fillet the most! The eye fillet was definitely soft and tender. This was the first time I had chocolate sauce on a 'main dish'. Amazingly the sauce blended quite well with the beef and it definitely made it quite special for me.

Conclusions:

All-in-all, I'll say the food are 'ok'. Will definitely give points to their creativity, a classy bar environment with lovely settings and artworks. hehe It was worth a try (go if you haven't, good atmosphere there). But I think if I do go back, it'll probably be for a drink + some lighter food rather than a proper dinner.
