2/5 Lee Thung S. 5 years ago on Google
Came
here
to
celebrate
the
end
of
the
year.
Booked
by
whatsapp
for
two
pax,
the
price
was
1.5mil/pax
for
9
courses.
Food:
We
were
served
2
appetizers:Salmon
Pompoms
and
Deconstructed
Miso.
The
salmon
was
okay,
barely
noticeable
though;
presentation
wise
unique
as
you
can
see,
although
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
meanimg
of
it
being
on
stones.
The
miso
was
very
dissapointing,
the
fried
tofu
was
mediocre,
the
miso
froth
was
a
bit
bitter
while
the
miso
sauce
very
salty.
The
overall
taste
in
your
tongue
is
this
overwhelming
saltiness.
Continuing
on
to
main
course,
we
were
first
served
steamed
snapper?
(Kinda
forgot)
with
caviar
in
beurre
blanc
sauce.
It
felt
like
the
menu
was
taken
too
literally
and
they
just
poured
sea
water
in,
drowning
me.
Honestly,
I
don't
know
if
they
used
the
wrong
kind
of
butter,
if
they
seasoned
the
fish
wrong,
or
they
didnt
take
into
sccount
caviar
is
salted,
but
the
dish
just
went
south.
Next
on
the
course
was
pasta
(again
forgot)
with
shaved
truffle
and
gold
sheet
(frankly
I'm
not
a
fan
of
eating
gold).
Damn,
now
the
pasta's
bland,
should
have
saved
that
beurre
blanc
sauce
and
mixed
it
with
this.
The
truffle's
distinct
flavor
and
aroma
was
somewhat
hard
to
find.
With
all
the
bombardment
of
saltiness
and
unflavorfullness
(is
this
a
word?),
they
decided
it's
time
for
a
palate
cleanser.
They
served
beetroot
with
mango
sauce
and
crushed
pistachio.
Fairly,
it
did
cleanse
my
plate
although
I
didnt
feel
what's
on
the
plate
harmonize.
The
star
of
the
menu
I
guessed
was
supposed
to
be
the
next
menu,
grilled
wagyu
with
wagyu
jus,
vanilla
potato
mash
and
grilled
asparagus.
This
was,
for
me,the
biggest
dud
of
the
night.
Wagyu's
texture
totally
off,a
couple
of
tendon
cuts
on
mine
making
it
very
hard
to
cut
and
chew.
I
could
still
smell
and
taste
that
beef
odor
(quite
sensitive
to
it),
usually
good
wagyus
dont
have
that
anymore.
The
vanilla
potato
mash
was
interesting
but
would
put
you
off
with
a
single
bite.
The
chef
said
it
was
inspired
by
his
childhood
favorites,
vanilla
ice
cream
and
fries.
Guess
I'm
just
not
on
your
wavelength
chef.
The
jus
was
the
only
salvage
here,
as
I'm
quite
sure
they
forgot
to
season
my
asparagus.
With
stomach
half
dissapointed
I
ventured
onto
desserts.
First
was
3
forms
of
chesnuts;
3
words:
not
my
taste.
Truly,
I
didnt
think
the
textures
worked.
It
was
served
wuth
lychee
sorbet,
which
for
me
was
exquisite!
It
was
followed
by
White
Gold
(?)
which
is
vanill
Ice
cream
with
gold
leaf
and
blueberry
compote.
Hmm,
this
place
seriously
have
an
addiction
to
vanilla
but
failed
to
execute
them.
From
this
kind
of
place
I
wont
be
expecting
this
kind
of
vanilla.
They
are
just
like
your
store-bought
ice
cream,
shouldnt
you
have
made
it
a
bit
artisanal?
Perhaps
throw
in
some
vanilla
seeds?
The
last
dessert
was
fun,
they
didnt
explain
this
to
me,
but
it's
the
helium-filled
sugar
candy
balloon.
If
you're
a
foodie
and
have
heard
of
Alinea
in
Chicago,
you'll
know
this
dish.
Tl;dr:
food
salty/bland/rubbery,
not
worth
my
money
Ambience:
Good
choice
of
color.
Open-kitchen
concept
is
well
appreciated,
love
the
experience.
Some
tears
on
furnitures
and
walls
are
visible,
I
thought
the
place
was
new?
I'm
not
sure
if
that
night
they
squeezed
in
more
seats
but
the
seating
was
too
tight.
Comments:
Lastly,they
were
preparing
for
the
next
day
while
I
was
enjoying
the
live
music.
I
noticed
the
ingredients
they
were
using
were
dissapointingly
cheap
(lousy)
-
are
they
being
mingy?
The
sentiment
was
shared
by
another
guest,
who
recommended
to
the
chef
to
use
higher
grade
wagyu
and
fresh
truffle.
I
understand
for
such
an
event
in
an
upscale
restaurant
1.5mio
maybe
considered
on
the
lower
end.
But
I
think
many
other
places
served
better
food
with
that
price
range.
