Tucked in a quiet corner of Menara Taiko, the restaurant was busy on a Wednesday night and offers a menu thats not really Traditional English Food but rather a mix of popular Western Dishes like Roast Pork Knuckle, Pizzas and Pastas.
Our waiter made several food recommendations and for beverages "insisted" we have bottled water despite us asking for regular Hot Water.
Roasted Tomato and Bell Pepper Soup
This was quite good. The Bell Pepper gave the soup a smoky flavor and went well with the Tomatoes.
Cream of Mushroom Soup:
The Mushroom Soup was decent. One could taste some Mushroom bits but the flavor was a little bit mild.
Caesar Salad
The Caesar Salad was quite good with the dressing not being too tangy. The Deep Fried Butter Croutons was a little too oily for my liking.
BBQ Ribs
This was recommended by our Waiter since the Pork Knuckle wasn't available. The Pork Ribs had virtually no meat and was very tough probably from being over charred. Taste wise it was very oriental.
Chicken Escalope
The Chicken was very tender and the Crust was crispy. It was served with some Yogurt which help cut the oiliness from the breaded Chicken.
Beer Chicken
The Beer Chicken was terrible. It came with a knife stabbed right into its thigh and was over-salted and over-cooked.
Duck Basil Pesto Spaghetti
The Pasta was cooked just a little over Al Dente. The Basil Pesto was a little mild but was compensated with the flavor from the Duck.
Spaghetti Carbonara
The best dish of the night. The Carbonara Sauce was very creamy and clung on to the Pasta. The Bacon Bits gave it a nice smoky flavor.
Chocolate Cheese Brownie
This did not taste like a Brownie. It had a texture of a Butter Pound Cake with Dark Chocolate Sauce poured all over it. It was ok.
Bread and Butter Pudding
This was good. The texture was just right, not too fluffy nor stiff. The Pudding had a nice buttery flavor and the raisins were good. The only thing I wished for was for some Custard sauce to be poured over it.
Overall I felt the food at Mayfair needs improvement. Prices of their food are a little steep but the food quality pales in comparison with chain restaurants like Delicious, TGI Fridays and Chilies who serves up similar food.
