Dinner at Ambush with Dekie

The catchy name of Ambush was quite intriguing, as well as the range of choices it offered off its menu. The dining joint had a well-deserved boast of offering a taste from Europe, as it was one of the few restaurants which offered truly something from different corners of the continent at a price affordable. Its slogan said it all - A piece of Europe on your plates.

I was not particularly thrilled to sit in an open area right in the middle of a mall's plaza, with the possibility of people dropping something from the walkway above. The cramped dining area need diners to be seated practically elbow to elbow with occupants of the next table. Even walking to your table after settling nature's call seemed like a challenge with those narrow aisle between tables. And the queue is always horribly long. Sigh...

Even with these downsides listed at the beginning, this is still a place worthy of recommendation, and I got an impression why it is named as Ambush. Maybe it was related to how you could be ambushed by something dropped from above, though I sincerely doubt that this is the reason. However, dining here could really be a pleasant surprise, especially with the choice of food being offered here. Surprised enough, to overlook all the previous negative points.

For anyone craving to visit Europe but hadn't save enough money for the trip, getting to Ambush for a taste of Europe before the trip is my best advise. There exists another 2 branches in Bishan and Orchard for diners in Northern and Central region to dine in. Who needs to go to Europe when we had 3 Ambush(es) right here?
