Matadoe, Mata-Mata
Just finished watching 'Hairspray' at the Mall, great movie by the way, and going for a little supper. Was thinking of going to the Sing-U-Me at the corner but Matadoe just suddenly caught our eyes. I have noticed the place before but didn't go in before. Feeling adventurous, we ventured forth into a 'journey of discovery' LOL.
The place is great with really good ambience and decors. The staff served us promptly as expected. Looked through the menu and the prices are reasonable. Then come the ordering.
Sadly, my first choice of Spicy Wing is not available... then I decided to have Swedish Breakfast at midnight... hehe or should I say it's my sahur? However, after awhile the waitress came back and told me it is not available also... Ok, and I changed the order again to Tacos. Lo and behold, it is not available too! Am I being punished for thinking of eating supper!
Seeing my frustration and maybe a vein throbbing on my temples*, the waitress recommends chicken burger or beef burger, which she thinks is certainly available. The beef burger's picture did caught my when I look through the menu but it seems very heavy for a supper and I am theoritically on a weight lost program. (Eh, I know I am not suppose to have supper but...) *Just kidding, I am in good humour most of the time and I just finished watching a fun movie.
The beef burger came and as expected, the portion is big with lot's of fries. The burger looks different, the bun seems out of shape. Looked at the inside and saw really green lettuce and thick slices of tomatoes and cucumber. Think I am gonna like it...
Then the moment of truth comes.
I took a big bite.

It is very, very, very delicious!!! Totally yummy!!! Much, much better than McD's Doublecheese Burger. It is a good thing they ran out of spicy wings, swedish breakfast and tacos! Think I used too much ! in this paragraph... but I LOVE MATADOE'S BEEF BURGER!!! It's heaven on a plate. I really love the perfect marriage of the cheese and beef patty.They both have very strong taste and they make such intense couple.
(Damn, getting hungry writing this blog...)
Other than the utterly-delicious beef burger, I also ordered Earl Grey, ah, my favourite tea of all times. The tea they served is nice but not really hot enough. But the pot is huge. Its exactly, 4 and one-fifth cups of tea.
This restaurant is gonna get a fantastic review.
BUT, there's a big but.
Some inconsiderate, babaric, suicidical-and-wants-everyone-else-around-them-to-die-early-as-well-like-a-suicide-bomber-in-Iraq, big, gigantic idiot started smoking indoors! INDOORS! That just ruins the whole atmosphere. Was waiting for the waiters to stop them and started counting the mili-seconds...
NO ACTION TAKEN!
Can't stand it any longer with my suffocation and eyes irritated by the burning, acidic smoke, I cut short the stay and proposed that we leave to save our own life.
Rating
Ambience: 3/20 (Could have been a 18 but the smoke took 15 points away... and I am being kind. My health is at risk here)
Presentation of Food: 12/20 (Looks great but the burger bun just looks weird.)
Smell of Food: 15/20 (As it should be)
Taste of Food: 19/20 (!!!, enough said)
Service:2/20 (very good waitress, helpful and quite pretty also but 15 points off for not stopping the smokers from smoking. Not professional enough, you got to care about the well beings of your other patrons!)
Total Marks: 51%
Verdict: Contrary to the "almost-gonna-boycott" marks, this place is a must go, but do bring along a gas mask just in case brain-dead smokers visits again.

Yummy... U din mentioned the Calamari rings I had. Was pretty ok but the calamari was a little to thin. Swensen still has the best. So where do we head to next?
Btw, why don't we take pictures of the food next time for your blog?
