Tampines One, Level 2: NYDC
From Top to Bottom: Three Amigos Baked Rice, Mushroom Munchies, Beef Lasagne

I realized that June and me have actually tonnes of food pictures but I had absolutely no time to do a proper review, nor blog, nor upload the pictures... Till recently I have got more free time on hand again to enjoy life. So... here I go again.

Beef Lasagna
At almost every place I've tried, their lasagna's tasted like crap or way below standard; Includes Café Cartel [Total crap], Pizza Hut [High Quality Swine Feed], Pasta Mania [I only finished it because I was totally starving] and Milano's [which is actually quite nice, but you can't Milano's anymore]

This at NYDC however, was one of the best Lasagna's I've had since ages. Almost moved to tears. Layers of pasta blankets over minced beef and rich tomato sauce. Oven baked with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese. Even comes with 2 pieces of garlic toast.; Crispy of the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. Perfect to soak up the tomato sauce and mop the dish clean. Yum Yum.

8.5/10 - Can't find much to penalize actually, just deducted some points as threshold for other expensive Italian fine dining places.

Three Amigos Baked Rice
Baked Rice, with their signature meatballs, ham and sausage, Oven baked with a thick layer of cheese. Great for meat-lovers.

6/10 - Maybe its me, but the standard dropped quite a bit. Hopefully its better next time.

Mushroom Munchies
Button Mushrooms [Not those small canned yellow button mushrooms] topped with cheese and ham, grilled to perfection. It's still so juicy and flavorful! Just great. Oh, we were hungry again so we already helped ourselves to one each before taking the picture.

7/10 - Tastes wonderful. Unfortunately, each serving only comes with 5 of them, making the portion pathetic and too pricey.

Spudniks
Skin on potatoes, topped with something like chicken mayo salad and ham as fillings then melted with mozzarella cheese in the oven.

7/10 - Great snack. Just go easy on it. It's quite filling and might fill you up before the main course arrives.
