FOOD FOR THOUGHT - 2007

I'm going to have a monthly food review by serious food critics... That's Eythan & myself! Hee hee..
They will be judged based on the following...

Reviews:-
Food quality = Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum! (max. 5 Yum!s based on taste)
Food presentation = BCD - ok, good or no good
Ambience = J-good decor/quiet/clean, K-ok la, can enjoy food without distraction, L-like wet market,noisy & dirty
Average cost per pax = every M means approximately every $10 bucks.

Wrapping things up for 2007, here are our Top Favorite food in Singapore.

1) Dian Xiao Er @ Vivo City
The 1st time we were there, we were so famished we couldn’t speak to each other cos all we talk about is food. When we had that plain rice in our mouth, it was such a heavenly feeling trust me! Even the rice can be this good… After so many same dinner set (herbal duck, mongolian pork ribs, century egg veg & soup), it is still having me thinking of it.


Reviews:-
Food quality = Yum! Yum! Yum!
Food presentation = B
Ambience = K
Average cost per pax = MM

2) Pier Eleven @ Marina South
I must say their "Seared Foie Gras, caramelized grapes with honey balsamic" is the best! Melts in your mouth oh... (Pic 1).

Also tried their "Beer battered cod fish" (Pic 2 - left) & "Carppacio of Salmon with Truffle soy" (pic 2 - right) which are not bad. Don't really enjoyed the "Duck Confit, crusted orange & honey balsamic" though (Pic 2 centre)...

We've tried the lamb too (can't remember which of the 2 types they have) and surprisingly, it doesn't taste or smell too "lamby"!! Ha... I'm glad I finally get to enjoy lamb.
And and… the warm "Baked Chocolate with vanilla gelati"… Highly recommended!!
