Elephant Bar Restaurant - Cupertino

Wow, this place is huge, and there are monstrous statues of white merlions out front and right after you enter the restaurant.

The symbol of Singapore has been transformed into the mascot and name of this Southeast Asian restaurant in Cupertino.

I've never been to Singapore, but I've traveled through most of Asia, and this food is solid.

I had the blackened Cajun chicken which was way too salty and the chicken was very thin and tiny cutlets. They recooked the chicken with less blackening spice and it was less flavorful, still salty, and still small and thin cutlets. The Cajun flavored rice with sausage had maybe two tiny pieces of sausage. The small side of sautéed spinach was the best part of the dish. The server credited my entree which we appreciated.

I had the noodle broth bowl w/shrimp and salmon on the side. The dish tasted good but the plating made it difficult to eat and not as enjoyable. Like typical noodle broth bowls, they are served in deeper bowls as opposed to a very wide, shallow bowl as this was served, which made the dish and noodles difficult to eat (chopsticks work better than a fork) and the broth got cold. I also tried to sign up for the rewards program, and the Mgr seemed distracted and detained. It took her a long time to connect me with a hostess to help me, and then their dysfunctional wifi was unable to sign me up... A long wait time for an unsuccessful sign up.
