| - I've been to lee and was super excited to try bent, as a sister restaurant to lee.
The restaurant ambivalence is clean, rustic- modern. I would recommend a seat by the bar if you are dining with a dyad so you can watch the cooks/bartenders do their thang.
We ordered the special seafood ceviche, grilled octopus, and curried lamb.
The ceviche was a mix of different ingredients that reminded me of a smaller Singaporean slaw, but it was bland to me. It didn't really mash together for some reason for me. $24
Grilled octopus was flavourful and soft. We ordered this because other yelpers recommended it. It was good. I liked the presentation and taste.
The lamb was to die for! My fave thing from what we ordered. It was moist, tender, and soft. The presentation was very pretty. I liked the pineapple curried sauce. Beware of the green sauce, it's spicy. I liked the pairing of quinoa banana. Gave a nice contrast to the dish. Definitely my fave!
The drinks looked nice, but were underwhelming. We had the and also, and Georgetown storm. It wasn't very creative and it was a bit watered down for me. I would say, I liked the cocktails at Dailo way better.
Overall, i felt bent was a bit of a copy cat of lee in the sense that some of the menu items were from lee's, like the Singaporean slaw and tong yuen. I was disappointed that it didn't have a lot of its own uniqueness.
Going down to the washrooms, I saw class pics and student pics of people. It made me wonder who those people were and what the significant was for the family. I wished were there captions to to explain!
