Henry Cook Set Meal for 2 @ RM22 at SS2 Mall

Fusion food with a twist by a Singaporean chef.   The appetizer (which arrived much later than the main course) was simple enough.

2 Deep Fried Chicken Wings

To compensate the lateness of the appetizer, they provided us an extra bowl of soup complimentary.  No complaints there especially since the soup was light and creamy with a sprinkling of croutons.

Mushroom Soup

For the mains, we opted for the Stuffed Chicken Roll with Yellow Fragrant Rice or Baked Herb Potatoes (supposedly an Award Winning Dish at Food Asia).  The description read  Tender Stuffed Whole Chicken Thigh Marinated With Our Secret Recipe And Oven Cooked To Perfection. Topped With Henry Cook's Signature Dressing & Brown Sauce, Served With Crisp Lettuce And Mixed Salad. Taste It With Our Extra Spicy POWER Chilli To Heat Things Up!

Frankly, I couldn’t quite comprehend the mix of flavours that was served!   There was brown sauce on the chicken, drizzled with bottled chili sauce and splashed with super spicy chili on the side.  A real mumbo jumbo which didn’t leave much room to savour the chicken itself! The salad was blob of mix greens and cucumber.  An interesting concoction to put it mildly but way too many things on a platter to live up to its hype.

We couldn’t even locate the stuffing!

Beef Bomb with Baked Herb Potatoes

The second mains ordered was indeed “ flavorful Minced 10 Oz Beef Ball Stuffed With Hard Boiled Egg And Covered With Black Pepper Sauce. Served With Crisp Lettuce and Mixed Salad”.  The meat was tender and tasty.  However, the hard boiled egg was a little overcooked for my liking.

We took the opportunity to try out a couple of other items on the restaurant’s limited menu:

Curry laksa

(ala Singaporean style which is topped with satay sauce)

 

Sausage and potatoes from the kids menu.

 

Spaghetti and fries for the kids.

Ice-cream which came as part of the kids meal.

Some unusual decor at the entrance of the restaurant.

 

Overall, the dining experience at Henry Cook was very pleasant.  The head waiter was friendly, efficient and knew his menu.  The food was tasty although a little overly mixed up.  With the discount voucher, the meal was well worth it.
