Friday Lunch@7atenine

Unlimited servings of surprises. You won't know what you will get but at least it is within a menu. Not like supperclub where you really have no idea what you will eat. There are about 20 or more dishes from the tapas menu. It comes in tasting size, that is good, you can try out alot of stuff. But you can also keep eating the same item. You also get unlimited soft drinks, juices, coffee and tea.

The food just keep coming out, depending what the chef fix up in the kitchen, though there are some wait here and there but as not much people around, so quite okay. There seems to be other stuff which sounds so good but we didn't get to try ! Like baked scallop with xo butter, king crab sandwiches, churros, chocolate degustation, etc.

Anyway, most of the items we had also quite good. Parma ham with honey dew, eat them together, the saltish of the ham even out with the sweet honeydew. Cherry tomatoes salad with pine nuts, very nice, the tomatoes doesn't have the taste of normal "tomatoes". Then came smoked salmon and some kind of rice/sushi roll with an egg in it, crispy outer layer.

The next salad like dish was really good, some kind of potato with corns nibblets, the dressing was good, but it really didn't taste like potatoes, but the guy say it is. Next was anchovies on toast with some sauce which is quite sour, this item don't really like, the anchovies too fishy smell. But the next item made up for that, wasabi cod ! Not bad, cripsy on the outside, hot and mushy inside, the wasabi sauce not too choking, nice.

Tuna tartine was next. Looked very raw, but taste was quite okay. The so called soup that came after was abit too "not" for the mass maybe, it was cold, creamy and abit oily. Apparently, it was garlic soup. The tempura vege was normal, nothing fantastic, but the way it was presented, interesting. The one coming up was really good, beef, not sure if I heard wrongly, it was kobe beef. Very tender, and there was a syringe to inject some "juices" onto the beef.

Then came something which was a typical item in Singapore, chicken wings ! They called it sizzing wings, the marinate was very savoury and with the mayo like sauce, adds another level of savoury. The salmon that came after was quite nicely done, with no other overwhelming taste, only salmon taste.

The last item was baby lamb, don't have abit of the mutton smell. The mash potatoes was very smooth and fragrant. Desserts time !!! But no chocolate degustation .... Haiz. The chocolate brownie should be good enough to make up, at least for now. This brownie was more cake like ... doesn't matter, very good. It has huge macamdemia nuts in it, the vanilla bean ice cream have very nice 香草 taste.

The tequilia cake was the final item. Interesting enough, a white piece of cake like thingie with hazelnut ice cream with abit of rum taste. The cake texture was like a failed experiment to make the most silky tofu. Since it was supposed to be a cake, it taste quite good. At $37++, this unlimited lunch is really worth it if you are really to spend that amount.
