Ambush at Takashimaya B2

Miffy Goodfood reporting:

SPECIAL MENTION: Very small dining area so be there early to secure yourself a seat during meal times.

PRICE: about $15 per person

FOOD: Good

Walk all the way past the food court of Takashimaya and you will find yourself amidst a few bistros. Ambush is one of the few there. It was my owner's second visit to this little bistro. Ordered Prawn Fritata with linguine in the style of Aglio Olio, Scallops with Linguine in Cream Fish Roe sauce, Straight Iced Coffee and Lemonade.

My owner's order was the dish of Scallops with Linguine in Cream Fish Roe Sauce. I think the linguine was over-cooked, it was more than al dente, a little too soft for my taste and no longer firm. But, the Cream Fish Roe Sauce was really good, not too thick and had bits of crunchy fish roe in it. The scallops were seared nicely but I'd have liked it better if it were grilled. Grilled scallops always seem to lock in the fresh flavour of scallops.

The Straight Iced Coffee is quite acidic, has good aroma but lacks body. I think Iced Coffee should always be chilled to teeth-chattering temperatures. This wasn't the case for the Straight Iced Coffee.
