Have you ever found yourself in a situation where hunger strikes, and you, your child, and your husband are desperately seeking a place to eat after an exhausting shopping spree? Well, that's precisely what happened to me recently. Little did I know that our impromptu dinner choice would lead us to a place with a rather intriguing name - Darling Point!

As I sat down to write this post, I decided to do a quick search on Darling Point and discovered that it's a popular spot for romantic dates.

That realization left me feeling a tad embarrassed since our visit was far from a romantic outing. It was around 9:30 PM, and all the other restaurants at Shyamoli Square shopping mall had already closed their doors. Only Darling Point remained open, albeit for a short while longer.

The owner, however, welcomed us with open arms, and we didn't hesitate to accept the invitation. The decor of the restaurant didn't particularly appeal to me, and the space itself was relatively small. But with growling stomachs and the market closing, we had little choice but to settle in.

We quickly placed our orders, opting for chicken fries, potato chips, and chow mein. Given the late hour and the imminent closing time, the staff worked diligently to prepare our meals promptly.

As we dug into our meal at Darling Point, the taste was decent but not exceptional.

The chow mein, while satisfyingly savory, lacked that special touch that makes a dish truly memorable. It wasn't a culinary masterpiece, but it did the job of quelling our hunger pangs that night.

The chicken fries and potato chips were crispy, albeit a bit too oily for our liking. While the food may not have left a lasting impression, our visit to Darling Point will be remembered more for the unexpected adventure it brought to our family outing.

However, whether it was due to the rush or other factors, I couldn't rate the food more than a 6 out of 10. It was decent but didn't leave a lasting impression.


To make matters slightly less appealing, the prices at Darling Point were a bit higher than what we'd typically expect at other restaurants. Nonetheless, it served its primary purpose - filling our hungry stomachs. By the time we arrived home, we were ready for a second meal to satisfy the lingering hunger from our earlier dining experience.

In the end, our unexpected family dinner at Darling Point was an adventure we hadn't anticipated. While it may not have been a culinary delight or a romantic rendezvous, it was an experience that reminded us that sometimes, it's the unplanned moments that add a unique flavor to our lives, right?

I can how the restaurant uses lights and colors to create a romantic feel but I think it's too much too. What I also look for a restauramt is the exceptional taste. If they serve similar dishes with others then they must leave a lasting impression.

Agreed, ambiance is important, but it shouldn't overshadow the food quality. The exceptional taste leaves a lasting memory.

It's a shame the food wasn't that good and the price was a bit higher than average. I would assume since it's already close to closing, the staff might not have given their best effort in making the food. At least they made a bit of an effort in the presentation.

It's disappointing when the food doesn't live up to expectations, especially with higher prices. A good presentation can't make up for a subpar taste.

Nowadays, if you want to run a business, you have to focus on beauty, because people are now giving more importance to this thing, then it's time to go and eat. This food looks so tasty.
