We
chose
Hide
following
some
good
reports
from
friends.
Firstly
the
booking
process
is
a
mess.
Initially
I
tried
to
book
a
month
and
a
half
ahead,
but
was
told
the
June
booking
had
not
opened
yet.
Then
when
it
did
open
I
was
directed
to
the
Funnow
site,
which
didn't
allow
me
to
book.
I
advised
the
restaurant
which
sent
me
another
link,
which
again
didn't
work.
All
the
time
I
was
asking
them
to
book
via
WhatsApp,
but
all
the
time
they
said
they
couldn't.
Finally
they
provided
me
a
link
which
worked,
but
the
payment
site
would
not
take
my
Malaysian
card.
Then
I
noticed
that
Visa
Signature
cards
gave
a
10%
discount,
so
I
used
a
non-Malaysian
Visa
Signature
card
to
pay,
and
finally
got
my
booking.
What
a
hassle!
Then
I
was
advised
that
I
would
not
get
a
discount
because
my
card
was
not
a
Malaysian
one.
To
be
fair
the
restaurant
did
provide
a
complimentary
course
by
way
of
apology.
And
the
meal?
Well
it
is
a
small
restaurant,
with
minimalist
(austere)
decor.
Aside
from
my
wife
and
I
there
was
another
group
of
three,
and
the
place
lacked
ambiance.
The
first
course
arrived
and
the
dish
was
chipped
so
sent
back
for
replacement.
The
white
wine
we
ordered
arrived
at
room
temperature,
and
had
to
similarly
be
returned.
From
here
on
things
got
better.
The
plating
of
the
dishes
is
exemplary.
Great
care
is
taken
to
turn
each
course
into
a
mini
work
of
art,
and
they
are
served
in
impeccable
fashion.
In
particular
the
Sea
Bream,
Chawanmushi
and
Scallop
courses
were
superb.
However
overall
quite
a
number
of
courses
are
heavy,
either
because
of
ingredients
or
cooking
method
(fried),
which
meant
that
my
wife
was
not
able
to
finish
the
meal.
Furthermore,
having
three
desserts
was
at
least
one
too
many.
So
overall
it
is
impressive,
but
with
a
little
more
attention
to
detail,
and
a
better
designed
degustation
menu,
it
could
be
great.
Oh,
and
please
sort
out
the
booking.
