Restaurant Review: Felix (Greenbelt 5)

On this day we weren't feeling particularly adventurous, but on our way to Kai we passed by Felix and decided to look at the menu. The waitress immediately attended to us and "sold" us the best-selling items of the restaurant. We were easily swayed, got a seat for two and were given the menu.

Upon looking at the menu, I immediately thought that it was a bit pricey. We picked some items and waited a bit for someone to notice that we were ready to order. Not attentive, tsk tsk. But after taking our orders, they gave us some bread with butter and a nice dip which I liked.

Here the items we ordered and some comments:

Appetizer: Hanoi - Shrimp and vermicelli wrapped in rice paper with peanut sauce dip
Uhm, it was plain. I can't say it was bad, but I didn't like it too much. Maybe I was expecting something more special than rice paper, sotanghon noodles, lettuce and some little shrimps.

Soup: Clare - Five mushroom with oyster chip; Tomy - Puree of tomatoes with ricotta cheese and baby arugula
The mushroom soup is bland and muddy. Tomato soup was nothing special. You can get it from another restaurant for a better price.

Entrée:
Tango - Duo of seabass with foie gras
This was supposed to be their best-selling entrée but it's hard to imagine why. The seabass is good, but not too good for the price. And duck liver is just not my thing.


Folger - US Angus Rib-eye
Normal US angus steak. It was grilled medium well as we like it. No complaints here.

The mashed potato that came with both entrées is very nice. :)
But unfortunately, they never served the Mango Shake we ordered. :(

The overall experience was disappointing. The food did not compensate for the price and the (lack of) service. We're probably never coming back to this place.
