Food Review: Strangers' Reunion

Visited Strangers' Reunion recently, and I heard that they have a newly re-launched menu.
I can't remember the differences because I've only been there once.

Of course with every menu re-print, the prices get a contract renewal too :x

Every cafe I visit, I'll most probably order their Iced Chocolate - $7.90.

My main problem with that: sometimes I get a drink which tastes exactly like iced milo. :x

At this price, I would consider Strangers' Reunion's version worth it.
It contains a dollop of vanilla ice cream, milk, and a generous scoop of cocoa powder.
One of the better versions I've had. (:

Truffle Fries - $18
Generous amounts of shaved parmesan and very fragrant aioli dip,
but the truffle taste wasn't very strong compared to the last time I had it.
The fries wasn't very hot as well; it was only lukewarm.

Chicken Cordon Bleu - $22.90
Roasted chicken breast, stuffed with ham and oozing cheese, and accompanied with red wine sauce.
I liked the sear on the exterior, and together with the sauce, the chicken isn't too dry.

Pearlyn's Smoked Duck Aglio Olio - $18.90
The duck was tender, not too chewy or hard.
Spaghetti is slightly dry.

Bowei's Truffle Cream Pasta with Italian Pork Sausage - $20.90
This one was good too!
No outstanding truffle taste but sauce was light and not overly creamy.

For both the pasta dishes, I thought the serving was quite small and it wont be enough for me.

Jh's Crispy Pork Belly - $26.90
Accompanied with red wine sauce and truffled mash (potato).
I love this one too! Crispy pork skin and melt-in-your-mouth fats.
The truffled mash is nice too, creamy and infused with the truffle taste.
It seems over over-priced though, because its basically sio ba :x
