honestly.. i was expecting a pile of poo..
it was really pretty.. but being in vegas, that doesnt mean the food is going to be delicious. we took a look at the menu and everything is reasonably priced ($10-25)..
we were seated and ordered our drinks and then food.. the wait was miserable. it didnt help that we were starving.. im not sure if it was 10 or 15 minutes... but it felt like for.ev.er.. thats when i realized the food is gna prolly be meh.. possibly ass-like...
while we waited, i was able to admire the view.. the set up and decoration was so nice. if i ever have a house by the beach i want it to look like raffles cafe.
speaking of which, i'd want the chefs from raffles to live at my hypothetical beach house.. the food finally came and it looked and smelled delicious..
i got the chinese chicken salad and it was really good. definitely better than other chinese chicken salads that ive had (thanks to their secret dressing, cashews, and chicken:vegetable ratio) but it wasnt anything amazing.
the sandwiches looked really delicious. and portion-wise (if you're moderately hungry/not-starving) you can def feed 2 ppl with 1 sandwich. they were really tastey too! their coleslaw is amazing.. i dont know what it is, but i wish i ordered a bowl of that.. my mom ordered the grilled cheese... and OMG. it was rich. it was delicious. it was all i could ask for. i have to admit, it was missing something.. im not entirely sure what.. their potato soup. (yea, potato soup).. de-freakin-licious..
im currently in mandalay bay and im tempted to go to raffles tmrw morning and ordering a bowl of coleslaw with a side or grilled cheese sandwich...
