Given the reputation of the chefs and the many Instagram photos of the food, I was expecting great things at R&D! To be honest, the good was hit or miss. It was food, but not spectacular. We ordered off a combination of the summerlicious and the a-la-carte menu.. the mapo tofu was spectacular and probably the best thing we ordered. The fried rice, with lap cheong and tilapia was also good and the beef tataki was beautifully done! The Mac and cheese, supposedly with satay sauce and lacked the wow factor and the shumai was also ordinary. Desserts were the saving grace, I could eat their Korean pancake everyday! The third star was given for the fantastically attentive service with the right amount of banter and the deliciously innovative cocktails! The best part of my evening was the oolong tea, lavender infused G&T. All in all, a fun experience! Go for the cocktails!
