Eat Out - Don Don & Margo's

Day 461

Takeaway lunch from Don Don - the very popular Jap place that is highly raved. Words commonly used to describe its food include amazing, best, delicious, flavourful, addictive and cheap. Is it really possible to get fresh and delicious Jap food at such an affordable price? Well, it's time to find out for myself. We ordered a sashi don and a teriyaki chicken don for $15. Cheap. Food came out in less than 5 mins. Fast. 

 

Verdict: Disappointing. The sashimi weren't too fresh and the teriyaki chicken was too salty. You get a cheap and fast meal that isn't high on quality. I guess when you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. 

                                                                                                                                                                                     

Another guilty dinner indulgence - fried food! All my hard work during Spin, Abs and Body Combat classes are going down the drain! I need to go for more classes to work the fats off. Boohoohoo.

We've dined at Margo's a couple of times during Crown's "Seafood Celebration" promotion and I absolutely love the cooked tiger prawns served with cocktail sauce. Delish! I've also tried its pasta and chicken parmigiana and they were both a disaster. So this time round, I decided to order something that can't go wrong. Salt and Pepper Calamari with Fries. Mr Tan went with Fisherman's Harvest - another safe choice. Both were good, I especially love the shoe string fries and fried prawns but then again, there's little that can go wrong with fried food. Anything that's fried is almost always good! But we're at Margo's only because of the meal vouchers, otherwise, we wouldn't be there. It's a noisy and service-less place with overpriced food.
