It is not very often you can dine in Singapore, with the sight of of a “boat” (all right, a Yacht) that cost more than your house in Singapore. Well, at Wokº15 Kitchen, the million dollars picturesque view is part of the package. While walking to the restaurant, LD and I had fun choosing which yacht we like most.

Appetizer for the tasting session was Japanese Greenhouse Tomatoes served with Wasabi Infused Sesame Sauce (胡麻酱芥末温室番茄 - $8 per plate ). The tomato was huge and ripe, well covered in the sesame sauce. Although, it sesame sauce supposed to be infused with wasabi, you will barely notice its presence. It was served chilled and provide a refreshing start to the meal, especially during this hot weather.

Double Boiled Japanese Chicken Soup with Himematsutake Mushrooms (姬松茸炖日本樱花鸡 - $36 per pot). One of the essence of Cantonese cooking. The soup. The clear brown colour broth is well infused with he flavour of chicken, mushrooms and the dry abalone. The nutritious soup was served individually without the fillings. It is robust and feels clean at the same time.

Grilled Garoupa Fillet with Beancurd Skin served in Stone Pot (石窝豆筋焖星斑件 - $32). The garoupa fillet was well coated with flour before it was deep fried, so it sealed the juice inside the fillet. The skin is slightly crispy, which compliment the slightly chewy beancurd skin. The special soy sauce binds the whole ingredients together. A simple looking dish but with different layer of texture in it.

Chilli Crab served with Fried Mantou (星洲辣汁螃蟹伴炸馒头 - $55 per kg and Golden Fried Man Tau $1 per pc). The chilli crab is the signature dish of the restaurant. It was finger-licking fantastic, the crabs was huge and solid. The chilli sauce was not mind blowing spicy, instead it has a nice balance between the sweet, spicy and tanginess to the dish.

The crispy skin man tou with fluffy inner part provided a good sponge for the sauce. We basically just slurping the egg coated chilli crab gravy like a soup. The two crabs that we have is about 1.2kg each. Priced at $55 per kg at the moment, it is also cheaper than those outside. Definitely give you the motivation to drive into Sentosa Cove, to try their special chilli crab.

The carbo was Braised Vermicelli with Diced Seafood, Salted Fish, Shrimp Paste and Vegetables (大澳焖米粉 - $22). Though you should not judge the food from the looks, this dish look slightly pale from the beginning. We were expecting the infused vermicelli broth will give us a wow factor, however it was flat all the way. We decided to spice things up and add XO sauce, and it just bring life to the dish.

The sweet ending was Double Boiled Snow Fungus and Osmanthus served in Coconut (椰盅桂花海底椰雪耳 - $12). A flawless dessert where the snow fungus and osmanthus are double boiled inside the coconut. The coconut juice provide a unique sweetness and a hint of coconut richness to the desserts. Definitely a way to end a memorable meal, which nourish your health and complexion.

For lunch, the amount of food served was just nice. It filled us up, but not to the point of food coma. The décor of the restaurant is just elegant. Modern Chinese restaurant design with cushioned chairs and clean with table cloth. The private room is decorated in dark blue, in contrast to red and white in the main dining area.
