A review of Melting Pot, a fondue restaurant.
Special guest appearance - Chi
My original impression of Melting Pot is that they serve cheese fondue and chocolate fondue, it turns out that even the main course is served in a fondue-style (our Singapore steamboat style but in a much smaller pot).
We had a fiesta cheese fondue which was quite nice, cheese with a kick to it with the jalapenos.
The main course did not leave much of an impression on me, we ordered some chicken, shrimp and sausage. As we picked the coq au vin as soup base, all the food pretty much taste of burgundy wine. For picking a soup base other than vegetable oil (means deep frying your main course) and vegetable broth, you have to pay an extra $6.
Lastly we picked the flaming turtle for dessert, that we enjoyed immensely but I kinda miss Hagen Daz's fondue. Hah.
This meal cost an average of 40 USD per pax, pricey we concluded.
We invited Chi, an "old boy of NAS", over for home-made dinner, just simple fare- teriyaki pork pork with mushroom, bak ku teh and stir fried cabbage and asparagus topped with bacon.
The vegetable is the most sinful of all surprising because it is stir fried in the bacon's fat but it is oh so yummy haha my 1st experience cooking with animal fat. Indulgent.
