This is not the first time here. Last 2 visit, I have tried the Soufflé Au Nuage and Riz Noir Black Rice respectively, but left in a wonder why it is so salty on both encounter. At the bottom of the rice, I can even feel the salt crystal (i hope! And not some char!).
The lady who bring me to my seat had a little chat with me after my order (she sounds like the restaurant manager) which I told her if the kitchen could just not add any salt to my dish this time (I order Riz Au Curry this round). She politely told me that they do not add salt to Riz Au Curry, but to the last 2 order I made there will be. She politely ask me to try this time and see if the taste suits. I ordered another Iced Matcha Latte to go along (I really like these Matcha latte and they did it very well!)
My food came just 15 minutes of wait (I think) and the view of it just make me ssssoooooo hungry! At the first taste of the curry (suppose to be Japanese Curry), I felt the salt level is too high base on my food intake standard. Other than that, the 2 piece of sausage is really salty too. Thank goodness the egg and the broccoli in the dish helps to kill that saltiness and also thank god for the Iced Matcha Latte!
On the whole, I think the food is tasty and nice, if something can be done on the saltiness. They could have just lower the amount of salt they use in the central kitchen and allow customers to add their own salt by providing it on the table. I guess it could be due to my taste buds and eating habit that I usually does not put salt in my cuisine (only light soya sauce at its minimum and maybe some oyster sauce only, at times. The last package of salt I buy is in 2012 and it is only half used!) and the reason of the uses salt could be a reason on the target market from my observation of the crowd and restaurant deco. And after all, looking at the menu, the highlights seems to be on the dessert more than the main course of spaghetti and rice dishes.
I will go back again, but maybe to try the dessert.
