If you are a regular reader of my blog, you may be familiar by now with my penchant for themed restaurants. Just to refresh your memory, I particularly love restaurants that transport me to places just like Wild Honey. It's no surprise that when the hubby decided to give K a lunch treat after a presentation concert of Singapore Symphony Children's Choir (she's a member of the training choir) at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), I suggested we try Aloha Ma Maison which we found by chance while passing by Bugis Plus Mall (formerly known as Iluma).
The Hawaiian theme is prominent all over the place. There are garlands, surfing board, nipa hut, Hawaiian costume and more. Even the waiters are dressed in blue polo shirts with pineapple prints. Very, very Hawaiian.
INTERIOR:
These eye wall candies transport you instantly to Hawaii by just looking at them while eating. It would be fun and perfect if you wear shirts with Hawaiian theme when you dine there.
FOOD:
K and I ordered a lunch set that came with a corn soup and a fresh vegetable salad along with iced tea and choice of rice. Indulging on the soup and salad is a perfect way to start a healthy and happy meal.
The chicken loving girl ordered this Weekly Chicken Lunch Set. She was so happy it suited her taste. (You know how kids can be picky, right?) She said she will order the same thing if she ever gets the chance to eat there again. Price: $12.90
Pasta + Salmon + Mushroom and more = HEAVEN to me. This is called the Salmon Steak Set. I will definitely order the same thing too next time. Price: $13.90
I am slightly health conscious when eating out (as in very slight, haha!) so I chose brown rice over the usual white rice. Can't remember exactly what it's called. What I do know is it is a healthier choice.
On the contrary, when hubby eats out he takes out diet in his vocabulary! Haha! He ordered this signature Ma Maison Burger with beef, onion, tomato, avocado, fried egg and brown sauce. Price: $12.80++ (without drinks, soup and salad)
SERVICE:
I'd give the service 8 out of 10. Not bad at all. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I just don't know why it took so long for hubby's burger to arrive. K and I were about to finish eating our meals when it was served.
OVERALL:
Price points are considerably cheap (much cheaper than Kraze Burgers at MBS), the food presentation and taste passed our standards (warning: our standards may extensively vary from yours), service was great despite the delay and the ambiance is excellent (for us at least because we had a quick getaway to Hawaii).
