Big D's Gril
Big D's Grill: I pouted, I smiled, I whimpered, I swooned
Pout, was what I did to get my boyfriend to accompany me down to the latest assest in Blk 46's foodcourt which beared host to a darn good fish soup noodles and an ayam penyat stall. Big D's Grill, which probably is representative of the in-house chef Damien De Silva certainly made a statement as I caught sight of a towering statue of a man hidden behind the counter.
*Eyes popping*
Smile, was what I did when I pictured tucking into a plate of their famous crabmeat linguine. The spicy red sauce staining my lips and a a surge of raw emotions running thru me as pasta, chunky crabmeat and chilli flakes came together in perfect unison.
*Heart pulsating*
"I'm sorry ma'am but we're out of Crabmeat Linguine today," touted the sales staff as I directed my gaze to it's elusive name on the menu.
*My heart sinks to the bottom of the torrent sea of emotions*
Whimper was what I did after I got hold of the news. Poor boyfriend.
Soon, the food we ordered were laid across the table tops. Distracting me from the cloud of smoke that had arisen from the next table. Darn smokers!
Swoon, was the tiny mutters of ectasy that escaped my lips as I stuck a fork through the mountain of cheese and eggplant in my eggplant parmigiana. Almost like a vegeterian lasagne, the eggplant parmigiana was a constructive meal built from foundations of fresh tomato paste, eggplants and cheese (a mixture of parmesan and mozeralla) layered on top of one another.Comfort food at its best they say. The bf had his grilled chicken leg which in my opinion was one of the most suculent pieces of grilled chicken I had in my life. But of course I had many atrocious versions. This was tantalizing with aromas of thick rich smoke perforating the meat during the cooking process. It was tender and juicy.
Overall, this place may seem to offer fare at non coffee-shop prices. But with the amount of customers it was reciving on a monday night, I guess it would probably stick around for a long time.
~3 days later~
I was standing over the same greasy floor. Seating on the bright red stools, this time with a placement card with the number 01 embossed on it.
A plate of crabmeat linguine in all it's red-hooded glory met my eyes. My salivatory glands were immediately working at full force.
*reminices about the la cantina's version.. swoons*

The appearance of this store has made the coffee shop so much more crowded... Wanted to ta bao back home but they can't be bothered with me hovering their stall... When I self-grab the menu and place my order, they told me they are only opened at 6pm when I was there at 5:50pm... Geez... Looks like biz is really good...
