This restaurant is located in the notorious Hotel 1929. The elegance and aesthetics of the hotel extends on to the restaurant as well. Vintage Louis Poulsen lamps, fashionable chairs, and dark wood Z chairs at the bar give the place a contemporary look. Executive Chef Sebastian Ng serves a fine blend of European Cuisine with an Asian influence. Friday evenings are exceptionally busy nights, and reservations are highly recommended.

Brought a client out to lunch last Thursday and all I can say is the food was amazing! I've been here a couple of times for dinner but the executive lunch is really value for money :)

For starter, I had the Pan Seared Foie Gras with Caramelised Apple and Clove Port and Raspberry Glaze ... oh, it is to die for lol. They have it cooked 5 ways for starters, so you will be spoilt for choice if you love foie gras.

For main, I had the tenderloin cooked to perfection (tender, juicy, lightly seasoned - nothing complicated to take away the taste), accompanied with a truffle mash which totally blew my mind. I had to remind myself that it was a fine dining restaurant and I am in the company of a client, to stop myself from licking the little cup that it was served in.

For dessert, I had the Warm valrhona chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream. I am a real sucker for chocolate cake with oozing molten hot dark chocolate, so it totally hit the spot for me. Seeing the tiny little vanilla beans in the ice cream was a real bonus, nothing beats having fresh ingredients in your food.

It was a delectable lunch with my client constantly raving about the food. For the 3 course set lunch, SGD 38 +++ I'm definitely coming back, just got to figure out who else I can bring for my next visit :)
