I loooove good <strong>service<\/strong>. I think all cafes &amp; restaurants in Singapore should serve ice water once patrons are seated, just like how you will serve water to guests in your homes. It only shows that they care and value the patrons.<\/p>\n<p>The waiter then placed a stack of menu + misc promotional cards on the table. Woah. I was overwhelmed by the number promotions such as value sets, special items &amp; privileges that they have but they are usually for families. Why they no freebies for singletons? I would love some home-made desserts or toys. Oh! Monday is Ladies\u2019 Night! Girls get 20% off!<\/p>\n<p>We were quite confused at the wide promo selection and decided to go with the ala carte items in the main menu instead. We ordered <strong>Chasoba Salad<\/strong> ($8.20), <strong>Chef\u2019s Pizza<\/strong> ($13.50) &amp; <strong>Italian Hamburger Steak<\/strong> ($16.90). I noticed most tables around us had <strong>escargots<\/strong>. I supposed it\u2019s the must-order item but Yandao doesn\u2019t eat escargots. I didn\u2019t want to appear like a pig and eat all 6 on my own.

I couldn\u2019t understand the logic behind putting carbs in salad. Salad or not salad aside, this dish is kick-ass awesome. Everybody MUST order this. I think there was Japanese sesame sauce mixed in the chasoba and the smell of it was simply mouthwatering which explained why the salad looked tossed in the picture. We just couldn\u2019t wait to eat it! The strips of egg, ham &amp; cucumber complemented the chasoba so well. Egg &amp; ham for taste (&amp; protein), cucumber for the crunchiness. The combination was just divine. The waiter gave us a cold side plate each for the Chasoba Salad. How thoughtful! He also gave us a normal side plate for the rest of the dishes since we were sharing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/img_74291.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5752\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/zh\/2011\/10\/28\/ma-maison-bugis\/img_7429\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/img_74291.jpg?fit=1329%2C1329&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1329,1329\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;latitude&quot;:&quot;1.2991666666667&quot;,&quot;longitude&quot;:&quot;103.856&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_7429\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/img_74291.jpg?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5752 aligncenter\" title=\"IMG_7429\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/img_74291.jpg?resize=467%2C467\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"467\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not a fan of beef patties but the <strong>hamburger steaks<\/strong> are Ma Maison\u2019s specialties.
