Cafe Galilee (sigh)

Roastary Chicken Leg



(I finished the chips and salad before remembering to take the picture... that explains the poor presentation)

Okay, I used my student card again (my NTU student EZ link card is priceless. It has granted me access to student meals from Seoul Garden, McDonald's, Burger King, and now Cafe Galilee). The price of this dish is usually around $7, I think. With the student promotion, it is only $4.90. With a can of coke on top of it!

I was surprised when the dish came. The chicken leg was HUGE, with lots of sauce. They added some chips (Pringles, sour cream and onion) and some salad garnished with cheese powder.

But one bite into the chicken leg and everything fell apart. The chicken was tasteless and had absolutely no flavour at all. It was dry, and the texture was like... a mix between tough and chewy? I wasn't expecting much for this price, so I wasn't too disappointed. They obviously used frozen chicken legs, though how long it has been frozen is a mystery to me.

The sauce managed to save them a bit, because it covered a bit of the (lack of) chicken taste. If this was a main course without any discounts at all, I would definitely complain. But since it's so cheap (and I am not a student actually) I thought I had better refrain from doing that.

OK, NO MORE CAFE GALILEE --- until my next exam, that is.

V's verdict: 3.5/10

Steak sandwich (Canopy)



After the fabulous bacon sandwich I had here last week, this was a total let down. A different chef prepared this today, so that could be part of the reason. The bread was dry and tough. The onion sauce used tasted a bit too sweet and didn't suit me. And the ribeye steak they used wasn't too good too; it didn't have that kind of fresh beef flavour. At least the fries were good. $16

V's verdict: 6/10


Fish and Chips (Cafe Galilee)



The $5.90 meal again that came with a drink. Once again, how bad can deep fried stuff get? This was okaaaay, although the pasta still had the same yucky hard carrots and the artificial-tasting sauce.

I am starting to get quite sick of the food here. Tomorrow will be my last visit to Bishan Library; my exams will be over on Sunday. So there will be one more update tomorrow on Cafe Galilee again.

V's verdict: 5.5/10

Galilee Special



Spent the whole afternoon at Cafe Galilee, inside Bishan Library. This was one of their lunch specials, which was pretty worth it. It cost $7 usually, but if you order it during lunchtime (12pm to 2pm) it only costs $5.90, and they give you a drink on top of that.

Taste wise, the sauce tasted a bit artificial and wasn't too good. The carrots were too hard. The chicken... well, it was deep fried, and deep fried food usually taste quite okay. (If deep fried food tastes horrible, it just shows that either the chef is terrible, the food quality is terrible, or both the chef and food quality are terrible.)

Conclusion: Not too good. But for the price, it's arguably okay.

V's verdict: 5/10
