Don’t believe everything nice you see online; we found out the hard way. Having read good things about their previous offerings, we expected bold, inventive dishes in the same vein, but boy were we sorely disappointed. Gone were the much raved Foie Gras Chawanmushi, the “Curry Puff” with seaweed tempura, and even the Bak Kut Teh Udon. Here’s what we had:
-Escargot and pickles -Salmon Carpaccio with Ponzu and Truffle Oil (ok quite tasty)
-Chawanmushi with Ikura (???)
-Minced Meat with pumpkin and eggplant (minced meat, really?)
-Thai-spiced Pork Neck Skewer
(not that tender or well-marinated)
-Hand-roll with a piece of salmon
(I’m not even bothering with a photo) -Light Dashi with Minced Chicken (they weren’t joking about light—it was really bland, the chicken too)
-Yuzu Sorbet with Coconut cream (a small saving grace, this worked nicely)
What did we just pay for? None of the 8 dishes were worth $6. Where was the promised invention? Compared to the dishes from just over two months ago (see the @eatbooksg review) the ones we had were just boring and tasted mediocre, even for its $48 price tag. If you aren’t invited to a tasting, take your money and go elsewhere. “Cheap Omakase” always felt like an oxymoron to me, and on such a showing, seems like I’m still right. @rakuya.sg
