Bakerz Inn at Paragon

You know, for a so called food critic, I sure as heck don't know where to go eat lunch in town. We were about to watch The Sentinel at Orchard Cineplex with a friend and were meeting at Paragon. My friend, whose wife was out of town was too lazy to decide where to eat, as was I, so my wife wanted some sandwiches or salad. Thus, we proceeded to Bakerz Inn.

Sure, Bakerz Inn isn't exactly the place to eat sandwiches and salad. They do try to make their food look good. Can't blame them for that. We ordered the Seafood Pasta, Clam Pasta as well as the Avocado and Crabmeat salad with a side of the vegetable puffs. You never go to McDonald's and order Char Kway Teow and you should never go to your favorite hawker store and ask for a burger. Similarly, never go to a place popular for dessert and order their food to expect a good meal.

My pasta for the Seafood Pasta was too soft and the tomato sauce was too luke warm. The Vegetable puffs were really small compared to the picture but what is the deal with ordering evian water? For the over priced food, I still have to pay for evian water? Its not like I have a choice in ordering plain water, but Bakerz Inn has an unusual rule of only allowing their customers to drink plain tap water. God Forbid! I don't want to go on a rant here but it is terribly ridiculous for a restaurant to make people order evian water if they want to drink hot or cold water. I mean, how in the world do we as the customer even know that the hot water is boiled evian water? It's a bad joke gone wrong.

BESIDES the sub standard fake Italian food, my wife did say that the Hazelnut Latte is one of the best in Singapore. And I have a good friend that swears by Bakerz Inn's souffle. In summary, service was relatively good for being so busy and they were nice about the evian fiasco. Honestly, what should I expect from a place that serves $15 pasta. Its not supposed to be that good! I should save my evil comments about pasta on Senso or something. In total, I paid about $78 for the 3 of us. Its not that expensive. And the transparent plastic chairs in the restaurant did make me feel like we were in Wonder Woman's plane....

Food: 6/10 - Stick to the desserts.
Service: 7/10
Value: 6/10.

Hope this helps.
