| - This is one of the places where you'd come for the experience and not so much for the food. Once you approach the door you'll be greeted with red bold curtains and past the curtains, you'll enter a very dark room. When I say dark... I mean it. Fortunately, the beauty of the rods and cones in our eyes helps us adjust to the dark environment.
Atmosphere wise, it gives an intimidating yet mysterious feel due to the darkness however, at the same time, it gives off an intimate vibe. I'd say it's appropriate for a date!
To start off, we ordered the 'Mystery Bowl' which consisted of a mixture of "juices, rum, and secret spices" as put on their menu served in a fancy frog bowl with very longgggg straws. The drink was quite fruity; a lot like fruit punch. The bowl may make this drink look plentiful but, half of the bowl was filled with ice. Upon it being served, you'd hear a loud rumble and the entire staff chant "MYSTERY BOWLLL!". It definitely lightens up the atmosphere and gets you amped up for trying this drink. It's perfect for 2 but, doable for 3!
As for food, we ordered the 'full' Shameful Tiki Platter instead of the 'small'. Six items for the full platter and three for the small. Here are the 6 items and my two cents:
1) Tiki Corn: basically popcorn drizzled with what I thought to be butter but, it was really coconut oil. (No wonder I tasted a hint of sweetness in them!)
2) Teriyaki Fried Broccoli: pretty much your broccoli tempura served at a Japanese restaurant served with a sweet sauce.
3) Crab Rangoo: deep fried wonton stuffed with cream cheese and crab served with a mustard sauce. Tasted the cream cheese in one bite however, not so much for the crab.
4) Volcano Wings: it 'looks' very yummy however, I've been deceived. Wings were very tiny and lacks flavour. You'd get most of the flavour from eating the skin. As for the meat, it's kind of dry and quite bland. (These wings will definitely come to life if they were submerged in the marinate for a longer period of time!)
5) Loko-Moko Ball: out of all the items, this is my fav. Love the texture and spices in this thing. A ball of sticky rice with a ground beef core and topped with mushroom gravy. YUM!!!
6) Cocoughnuts: don't be fooled by its appearance. This stuff feels rock hard on the outside as it took some effort for us to pierce through them with our forks. They're pretty much timbits but on the drier side.. Not much of a satisfying dessert for us.. ):
Overall, food and drink was mediocre. I'd say this is definitely a novelty-kind-of restaurant. Service however, was superb. Servers were very knowledgeable about the items on the menu with a very approachable and conversational attitude.
