| - One of my pet peeves is leaving a restaurant still hungry. Unless you are willing to take out a loan, this will probably be the case for you too at Little Sister. Overall, the food was not bad, with interesting flavors. The place is hip and buzzing. The music selection was very good. But the size of the tapas-style dishes were so minute, it was almost insulting. We came in a group of 6, and spent $250 (w/ 1 drink pp) and we all left still very hungry. Plus, the service leaves something to be desired. Because of those reasons, I had to give Little Sister such a low rating.
At any rate, if you do want to splurge, I guess it's an interesting dining experience. As such, below I rate the dishes based on taste only, not the value.
SATAY LILET (Chicken)
6.50

SATAY SAPI (Beef)
7.50
Rating: 1/5
Verdict: Teeny tiny skewers of unappetizing "spongy beef".
WATERMELON SALAD
7.50
Rating: 4/5
Verdict: Very tasty and refreshing salad, but a very tiny portion.
