| - We are a group of 16 and we had dinner here on a Friday night for a friend's birthday! We were lucky to get the private room to ourselves and our server was wonderful.
The review is for the tasting menu which is 10 courses and $75, served family style.
1) Singaporean style slaw
We started with this dish and it was also my favourite. I'm a big salad person and this is the best slaw I've ever had. the presentation is great too. I'm in love and will be back just to get more of this dish.
2) Spicy crispy tofu
This was an average dish. the presentation was neat and the sauce tasty but I'm not a huge fan of fried tofu.
3) black pepper charred tuna sashimi & spicy tartare
Delicious! the spicy tartare was my fav, i even enjoyed the tofu crisps that came with the dish because the flavours were complimenry
4) Assam thai satay
probably my least favourite dish. 3 different meats: shrimp, chicken, and beef. 3 dipping sauces: mint, peanut, and mango salsa. I liked the beef and the peanut sauce the best. the mint chutney remined me of my time spent in India. Overall, nothing memorable.
5) Garlic tiger shrimp
I loved this one! the shrimp were cooked to perfection and not overcooked like 80% of the times. The sauce was light and sweet, I think it was spiced tomato jam.
6) Caramelized black cod
the cod was done right, it melted in my mouth. The dim sum turnip cake that came with the cod was nothing special and could've been more crispy on the outside.
7) Watermelon and feta cheese salad.
I love watermelon. I love feta cheese. I also love jalapenos and olives and the mint on top. Seperately. I think I would've loved this dish but at this point i was getting full and it was probably a 6/10 on my list.
8) Top chef green curry chicken
I was looking forward to this dish all night and we were told that this was the highest rated dish on top chef, scoring 19.5/20. well, it's a really good take on green curry chicken. You should try it. I was full and was more interested in the dried pineapple garnish.
9) marinated korean style prime strip loin
I think this was done medium rare and it was very tender. The blue cheese flavour def came through but is mild enough that even if you don't like blue cheese, you will still appreciate this dish.
10) Dessert trio
I really enjoyed the crème brûlée, so much that i cant really recall what the other two were.
Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would return. I think the bill came to around $120 for one, which includes a cocktail.
