			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally went to Fig &#038; Olive a few weeks back, after years of wanting to try it out.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s always a small fear that the something new that you are trying out will not be to your liking, and so I deferred trying out this restaurant for the longest time.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m glad I finally came around. Now I wish I had tried it long ago! </p>
<p><img src="http://www.shanobyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dsc05331-copy-1024x768.jpg" alt="maghribi chicken" title="maghribi chicken" width="400" height="300" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1299" /></p>
<p>This was FP&#8217;s Maghribi Chicken with yellow rice (this is not the exact name &#8211; i only remember the Maghribi part) It was delicious, tho I only had a bite off it. Yummy Yummy!</p>
<p>We also ordered a smoked salmon salad (also not exact name. the exact name is deep blue something). Interesting how the smoked salmon here is not salty like the one at coffee club.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.shanobyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dsc05332-1024x768.jpg" alt="smoked salmon salad" title="smoked salmon salad" width="400" height="300" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1300" /></p>
<p>Also interesting to note was that there were figs AND olives in the salad! Ah how apt! I found it so amusing &#8211; we were eating figs and olives at figs and olives. okay, nevermind.</p>
<p>Too bad I dont eat figs. Not like that anyway.</p>
<p>This salad was delicious too, with little or no dressing. Healthy and yummy, whats not to like?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.shanobyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dsc05334-1024x768.jpg" alt="seafood marinara" title="seafood marinara" width="400" height="300" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1301" /></p>
<p>And this was my marinara (who has pasta at a Mediterranean restaurant? only me.)</p>
<p>What I liked about it: the generous servings of seafood inside the marina, which made it a delight to have.</p>
<p>What I don&#8217;t like about it: it was too tomato-ey. ease up on the tomato sauce pple! i&#8217;d rather have it spicy than tomato-ey, even tho tomatoes are one of my favourite vegetable-fruit.</p>
<p>Just that I eat my tomatoes RAW.</p>
<p>Also, I don&#8217;t like it that this dish isn&#8217;t really photogenic like the other two, lol.</p>
<p>There was a dessert in the menu that I wanted to try. Something called Apricot Turkish Delight. As some of you may know, I&#8217;m a big fan of Turkish Delight &#8211; the candy and confection from Turkey (lol). I almost hyperventilate when I tried REAL Turkish Delight that my boss brought back from Turkey.</p>
<p>So back to topic. I wanted to try it because I thought its turkish delight mashed up with apricot, mixed with ice cream. But the waitress told us it was apricot + ice cream (or something like that). So I didn&#8217;t try it.</p>
<p>Mainly because we were still unsure of the quality of the food. Now that we know that it is absolutely yummy, I&#8217;m going back there to try the Apricot Turkish Delight.</p>
<p>Fig and Olive is a wonderful restaurant which I will recommend to everyone to try. Go to the one at Vivocity in the evening, pick out the seats outside facing the sea <img src='http://www.shanobyl.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
