I really wanted to love R&D but everything fell short...
We had dinner during Summerlicious and ordered the following:
- Chicken Satay: Tasted fine.. nothing special
- Potstickers: These had pulled pork filling but I didn't think the flavour was distinct enough to tell that it was pulled pork
- Chop Suey Lettuce Wrap: This was pretty good - great variety in mouthful with crunch
- Beef Curry: So salty!!! No rice was served with this, and there were only 3 pieces of rice cake, which didn't help off-set the sauce at all. We had to "borrow" some rice from the Hainan Chicken dish to eat this.
- Hainan Chicken: Nothing about this dish was good. The chicken was dry, portion was miserly, the rice was hard and dry - what was served was NOT representative a Hainan chicken dish...
- Torched Salmon Belly: The salmon belly was thin, which would have been fine if it wasn't overcooked and dry...
- Mango Panna Cotta: One redeeming factor of this dinner.. this had mini coconut tapioca and the panna cotta was creamy and smooth.
- Pineapple Egg Tart: It didn't have much pineapple taste to it...
- CSB (from regular menu): Second redeeming factor of this dinner. Soft on the inside with a slight crisp on the outside. Delicious!
Overall, this was a disappointing meal, perhaps it's because I went in with such high hopes. Save for the CSB, everything was mediocre at best and I'm not sure I want to come back and try the other items on their regular menu.
