After feeding on kenny rogers for many years, this is the first time i am writing a review for the restaurant. One word summaries my experience of the many restaurants dotted around our little island. "Inconsistent". Well i guess inconsistent is better than terrible right, so at times it is not too bad. Anyway the experience here was bad. Chicken was served cold, the skin was stripped off the chicken. The thigh was dry and tasteless. One might have mistaken it for chicken breast if you ate with a blindfold. The best part of the meal unfortunately has never been the chicken but the baked beans. I love kenny rogers baked beans, not sure what goes in the sauce, but it sure is different from the usual beans, very tasty, not too salty. In fact it goes well with the muffins. Okay i know it is gross, but really both actually is a strange complement of each other. Usually i would have 2 servings ofe baked beans but for the first time i decided to go with the chicken vegetable soup, it was alright. Ironically the worse part of the meal is the chicken!

The buffet spread was pretty good, they have the typical japanese food spread, many varieties of salmon as you can see from the photos. Many different variations of salmon sashimi. Unfortunately my buffet strategy was left in disarray when i polish up this plate of salmon. I felt a little sick after the many slices of salmon. Moral of the story, eat salmon in moderation, no matter how much you love the little red fish. Besides raw salmon, they had grilled salmon head, salmon porridge, salmon miso soup. Omega 3 overload it what you get here. For dinner we paid about $35 in total excluding drinks. If you are into desserts, the dessert spread was however very disappointing.

Had groupon vouchers for gurney drive/culture, so here we are. Difference between gurney culture and gurney drive is that the former is halal unlike the latter. We had the penang laksa which unfortunately came out luke warm. Would have preferred it serve hot. There was not enough sardines in the penang laksa, which was a pity. The prawn noodles was also mediocre, i thought the taste of the yellow noodles was too pungent, too alkaline. Again the noodles was served lukewarm. Char kway teow was okay, not fantastic, just edible. The other side dishes we ordered were penang rojak, chicken ngoh hiang and kang kong cuttlefish. The rojak was probably the redeeming factor of the dinner, the rest were all poorly executed.[VDO:5]

Carrot cake was smooth and soft, seems home-made unlike what you get when you procure from the factory. Unfortunately the carrot cake was not thoroughly fried, maybe the cook was stressed by my hovering presence and when i asked is my carrot cake ready, he served it to me immediately while continuing to fry the rest. Overall pretty good plate of black carrot cake. Not too sweet, just nice.

Had a pleasant National day dinner courtesy of the groupon voucher that I purchased. It was a 4 course truffle themed set dinner.

Starter: White truffle fries for 2: I love that it came out piping hot and crispy. Nice hint of truffle oil with every bite. Truffle Mushroom Puree Soup: Thick and creamy, topped with truffle foam. It has quite a substantial amount of sautee mushroom added into the soup. Wonderful texture. Pardon the topsy turvy order of photographs
Dessesrt: Cheese cake: I thought it was too light and 'moosey' but my friend loves it. Truffle cream Linguine: I had 2 bites from my friend's order. I thought was pretty good. Love the texture of the mushroom, it was a little QQ. Nice and creamy. A little jerlat towards the end though. Nevertheless fragrant.Rose Sauce Linguine with Parma Ham: This was my order. I love the sous vide egg that was on top the pasta. I broke my egg yolk and I love how the egg yolk compliments the dish. The thin slices of parma ham was also lovely together with the pasta.

Overall a pleasant dining experience. My apologies for the reddish photos though. The whole place was in dim red lighting.
