How often do you have a spark of idea to dine at Food Loft @ Gurney Plaza?

Although this outlet is very beautifully designed and conducive, there isn’t usually a big crowd here. I venture in one fine day after being undecided on what to have for a late dinner.

Ambience is nice and relaxing. Perfect to wind down after a long day of shopping for shoppers there.

I pass by the Vietnamese counter and they had this variety of chillies and sauce for you to pick.

Spotted the chef cooking and serving this pineapple fried rice.

Then after we ordered, we walked back to our seats and waited for the food to be served.

First to come was the Vietnamese Pho.

 

Phở is served as a bowl of white rice noodles in clear beef broth, with thin cuts of beef (steak, fatty flank, lean flank, brisket). Variations featuring tendon, tripe, meatballs, chicken leg, chicken breast, or other chicken organs (heart, liver, tongue,[citation needed] etc.) are also available. ‘With the lot’ (made with chicken broth and all or most of the shop’s chicken and cattle offering, including chicken hearts and livers and beef tripe and tendons) is known as ‘Phở đặc biệt’ (unique phở). There are also various vegetarian varieties of phở.

This has got to be the saddest looking rice noodle soup I’ve ever seen (just compare the photo above taken from wiki….how different!!)

And the freshness of the vegetables is in such a condition that if it’s seen in your fridge, you will be thinking whether to discard it or not.

I ordered the Pasta with salmon. It turned out alright, but the salmon is a little dry, maybe due to over-grilling. The pasta is creamy enough but lacks other ingredients to make this dish a satisfying one….for instance some mushrooms maybe? (I’m a mushroom lover!)

 

Any nice food to recommend if I ever step foot into Food Loft again?
