| - If you're looking to go for a great meal and don't mind spending ~$65 a person (drinks not included), then Rasa would rank near the top of my list. Go for The Experience. Also, this place is rather small, so keep your party size to no more than 6 or else it's going to be difficult unless you make reservations in advance.
I would strongly recommend going for at least 1 of each of their courses. (Appetizer, Entree, dessert). They do have a fried donut for $5, but we were full by the end of it, so we didn't get it.
The chopped salad has received rave reviews from other people and I'd like to chime in that if there was a salad that I could go eat on a daily basis, this would be it (no becoming vegetarian thoughts yet). The chickpeas were a nice addition and the portion size was good. It was well-balanced and you can taste the fresh and the crunch with each bite. On a preference issue, it was somewhat hard to get the salad from the big bowl (presentation = beautiful btw) with a fork and then eat from the plate with the fork. I would have liked to use chopsticks. There was also a bacon dish that I probably should've taken, but I had salad.
I had the burger for a main dish and my partner had the albacore tuna dish. Burger was smaller than I thought it would be, but was more filling than I expected. The burger meat was...so soft and juicy. I can still salivate on that memory even though I just ate lunch. The albacore tuna dish was tasty (of the small portion that I had).
The dessert was a chocolate mousse. I would say that this was probably not the most satisfying way to end the meal, simply because it was the size of a chocolate truffle. To be perfectly fair, it was way better than any truffle I've tasted because it was so soft, smooth and creamy. It also helped that it simply melted instantly in your mouth.
All in all, great meal. The ambiance inside the restaurant was great, not too loud or too soft, and the live music was a nice romantic touch. I couldn't figure out the beat because I suck, but my partner could, and that's all that mattered. Service was good and not overbearing. I did like the waiters' accents, they were cool.
Service: 5/5
Food: 5/5
Price Point: 4.5/5 (I feel that it's still a tad too pricey, but everything was a bullseye)
Overall: 5/5
Note: They do NOT open on saturdays for brunch (they open at 5:30PM). Only sundays do they have brunch. I had the misfortune of not checking the times properly and only realized that i dun goofed once I was outside the restaurant, on a saturday morning all hungry. Please be open Saturdays!
