Went to R&D for first time as this is a pricey restaurant. Summerlicious is an opportunity for me to try out different cuisines without breaking the bank. This was a HUGE Disappointment on many fronts: 1. this restaurant is owned by Masterchef winner Eric Cheong and Judge Alvin Leung my expectations were high; 2. I ordered off the Summerlicious menu, which is an opportunity for restaurants to showcase their quality and uniqueness especially for first timers, the offerings were bland. I had the Kalbi Tostada which looked like 1 large round nacho chip with guacamole and red bean paste; the Braised Beef Lo Mein was swimming in the high sodium sauce with a couple small chunks of beef, could not tell you what it tasted like as I kept drinking water and my cocktails to dilute the salt from my mouth; and Matcha cake which was over baked as the exterior was hard as a cookie and the interior was dry and the side teaspoon of matcha icecream came in a puddle ( I tried to moisten the cake with the little bit of ice cream). The only positive about the restaurant is the location. I would not recommend this place to anyone, nor will I be going back. The cuisine at Mcdonald is better. The restaurant is surrounded by more affordable venues with better quality food.
