food combos!
i know how most of the reviews here exclaim on the emphasis of how great downing street's food combos are, but! i have been where you are. the menu is confusing. just, too many options to choose from. no? well, maybe it's just me then.
anyhow,
i recently happened to visit 10d a couple of days back and i had the best time. it's by far the best place to hangout with your gang. it's not really much of a solo thing, however, there is a bar. there is a counter, with seats. if you're into that.
anyhow, we ordered three non veg combos and just shared to play it safe. i now know exactly what's the best. and i'm here to help.
we ordered from the "oriental combos" menu.
1. roast chicken red chilli style with thai chicken fried rice
2. shredded chicken with red peppers with chicken hakka noodles
3. seafood two way with singapore fried rice (prawns and fish)
now don't let the chilli symbol next to seafood fool you. it was the least spicy of these three dishes.
that being cleared.
roast chicken red chilli style was a gravy, not a starter. (we expected it'd be dry)
in fact, all the main dishes were gravies.
quantity of the gravy was just perfect, it had the perfect portion as to complement with the rice or noodles counterpart of your order. spice levels were really good. if you're into the heat of your gravy, no doubt. this is the one to go. it has chicken, it has a thick gravy with spice and the heat. and thai fried rice perfectly goes with it to blend all the spices right in your mouth.
shredded chicken with red peppers was the second spiciest of the three that we had, considering it was paired with hakka noodles, it wasn't our best ordering. i suggest you try thai or singapore noodles rather than hakka. hakka just doesn't complement with your gravy counterpart with destroys the concept of your palate. shredded chicken as it's supposed to be was well ground chicken with red chilli and capsicum with a semi-spicy gravy.
seafood two way was the least spicy of all. it was not great considering they put a chilli symbol next to it. it had a sweet flavour to it. the ratio between prawns and fish wasn't that great, it was slightly bland. i expected it would be and it could be a lot spicier. but i found red chilli style chicken much spicier. but, if you're a seafood lover, think no more. this one has a great combination of fish and prawns that goes fine with your counterpart. wish it was spicier but it was fine nevertheless.
overall i loved the ambience. probably one of the best rustic appearances with a modern touch. keeping the centuries old bar & eatery look still fresh and fine. perfect air conditioning, good music. great job on the staff and maintenance part.
while the exclusivedrinksare expensive, i'm glad they have the combo deal to accommodate casual foodies!
