I booked this place for dinner recently to celebrate two birthdays. Two hours before dinner, the rain was pouring heavily and I was concerned it would be difficult to get to the restaurant knowing it's at Dempsey Hill and it's far from the center. It was instantly resolved after exchanging messages with the restaurant via Whatsapp, giving proper instructions to a semi-sheltered way via Long Beach restaurant.
I went in with no high expectations and was pleasantly surprised with the tasty food. My friends ordered the dishes for sharing and for starters, we had the Purple Potato Bread with butter, Oyster Mushrooms and Prawns Bakar. I loved the Oyster Mushrooms with their lightly battered crispy mushrooms and coffee glaze. The Prawns Bakar had puffed rice that added an interesting texture. The Potato Bread was indeed purple and it was chewy and went well with the whipped butter.
The winner of the meal was the Stockyard Wagyu. The beef was well seasoned & perfectly cooked and the hollandaise sauce that came with it was so delicious & addictive, I kept going back for it. We also had the Whole Grouper, which was all right, and the Wok'd Garlic Shoots, which we all found too salty.
Of course, there's always room for dessert(s). We only had different ice creams or gelato to choose from, which we thought was quite limited. We ordered three and since I indicated it was a birthday celebration, one dessert came with a birthday candle. We ordered Bubur Hitam Gelato, Cocoa Husk and the Kaffir Lime Gelato. All three were good, I think the best one was the Bubur Hitam Gelato.
Can't really say much for the interiors or the surroundings because it was evening time and it was raining. My only complaint was the toilets look worn out and the cubicle doors need a refinishing. Also, one of the cubicle doors doesn't lock properly.
