Restaurant Review - Bosses

Ok… my laptop problem is more or less fixed (for the time being)… my fren say it’s juz a loose monitor connection so no big deal…

Anyway, here’s an out-dated post… I went to eat at this restaurant last Tuesday at Vivocity… the name sounds cool and the online review write until machiem beri nice lidat… so went to try try…

Here’s a brief review of the place:

Name: “Bosses” or “黑社会”
Location: Vivocity Level 2 (along same row as Haagen Daz)
Décor: The theme of the place is “black”, overall look quite sophisticated BUT… (to be explained later)
Menu: The food is Chinese cuisine, similar to crystal jade style… no dim sum after 5pm… taste and presentation is slightly below standard (in my POV)… quite a variety of items to choose from thou the menu is abit distracting…
Price: Quite reasonable and affordable considering the fact tat the décor looks expensive… average of abt 7-10 bucks for a rice or noodle item, ard 5 dollars for side dish/dim sum item like xiaolongbao… average expenditure for us tat day is abt $20 per person…

Personal remarks:
I like the décor/look of the place, black is nice but hor… somehow the décor n food dun match… the décor raises ur expectations but the food pales in contrast… the food’s presentation is so plain n even sloppy to some extent… taste, as I mentioned, not up to standard… the xiaolongbao has the “入口即化”effect but it’s onli becoz the meat fillings is so soggy tat we once suspect tat it’s spoilt… the claypot rice n ramen dishes are quite plain… one thing can try is the “流沙包” but it’s onli for ppl who like salty eye yolk… but overall nothing realli spectacular… so quite disappointing… another “attraction” of the place is the toilet… I almost crashed into the wall while visiting the toilet coz it’s made up entirely of mirrors… so confusing…

Overall, in my humble opinion, I recommend u to go once for the experience as the restaurant is quite unique in its own way (plus it’s not exp so dun hurt to try)… but it’s definitely not worth a second visit… maybe if u go next time, can go before 5pm and try the dim sum as they seem not bad… hopefully, they’ll turn out beta than the other dishes…

Score: 4/10
