Friday Dinner@SupperClub

Wonder how long can this Amsterdam club survive, taking up a big space at Odeon. The selling point is you do not know what you will be eating, it will be a surprise menu, but you still can tell them beforehand if you do not like anything. At the entrance area, you get your hand stamped and know your table number.

But actually, it is really not a table. You eat in bed, everything in white. 2 rows of huge, comfy, industrial size sofa by the side with gigantic pillows. Dinner starts at 8 pm, though you can get drinks at the 2nd floor, bar counter. Most of crowd are ang moh and on a friday night, the crowd seems abit thin. Probably, SC is not new in Singapore and times are bad. At $65 for a 4 course dinner, it is expensive.

Appetizer
Raw cream salmon steak with sundried roma tomato and avocado, frisee/green beans salad, ginger toast and champagne vinaigrette

I like this. The frisee somehow very fragrant and the raw cream goes well on top of the tiny ginger toast. A must mention was the sundried roma tomato, first time trying it, very nice.

Starter
Parsnip.onion soup with parmaham, oregano croutons and chopped parsley

This is something different. Hot thick soup with onion taste and also the peppery which exploded when you sip into every spoonful. The crispy parmaham savoury, even out some of the onion and peppery taste. Quite like it, but 2 tables away, the 2 person just couldn't down it.

Main
Veal tenderloin, spanish tortilla, sauteed baby leek, shitake and red chili jue de veau

Quite thick but very tender and juicy. My shitake was changed into baby kailan from some tse char stall. The spanish tortilla, which is a fried potato dish, nothing special but was good.

Dessert
Banana/passion fruit millefeuille. vanilla thick cream and mint leaves

The millefeuille was very cripsy and with the sliced banana and passion fruit cream in between it. Though you have to "dismantle" them to eat it, still good.

It is a good place to chill out if you dun mind the "no crowd" and willing to pay the cover charge. Comfy bed and the music not too loud, not a bad place to relax, drink and tcss
