| - Decor was nice. I came in with low expectations as I kinda knew it would be more of a gimmick restaurant.
Coming here, of course you have to try the featured cheese fondue. They have quite interesting flavors, I decided to go with the Laksa Cheese pot ($14.99) This was disappointing. Not sure if it was because it was Laksa flavor so it was a soupy base, but essentially this is a cheese pot and not cheese fondue as the menu claims it to be. They serve a laksa soup pot with all the included ingredients cooked inside with a few slices of cheese on top. It does come with a separate bowl of shredded cheese for you to pour it into the pot to stir with all the inside ingredients. Regardless the cheese and soup ratio isnt comparable for it to become a form of cheese fondue style. None of that oosey cheese strings that you'd expect to see. On the bright side there were actually a decent amount of ingredients inside - the laksa was essentially seafood, featured 4 piece of shrimp, a mix of mussels, clams, cabbage, corn, mushroom, squid balls, tofu, and a selection of noodles. The bonus is noodles have free refills, but keep in mind their refill bowl is less than half of the first noodles' serving.
Cavatelli with Lamb Ragu ($12.99)
Portion-wise it was really big, but there weren't actually that many lamb pieces inside. I didn't mind the cavatelli pasta, it was actually my first time trying this type of pasta - sort of like a hard shelled curvy pasta. Sauce and flavors were good, nothing special. The dish looked quite cheesy, but in reality it didn't taste overly cheesy and was a normal amount.
The food was okay, but nothing special nor the kind of restaurant I feel like I'd want to come back. Tried it once so I'm good. Menu prices are slightly expensive in my opinion.
