My partner bought me to this restaurant as he heard they serve rather good cod fish and he knows i am a real cod fish fan.The restaurant is located at a corner of the basement of Ochard Central, right beside the lift. We took the escalator which was at the other side, thus we took some time before finding the place.The atmosphere inside is relaxing and high-classy. My friend ordered the 'Merluzzo Con Asparagi' for me, which is the cod fish dish he heard was nice. We were first served with plain
The restaurant is located at a corner of the basement of Ochard Central, right beside the lift. We took the escalator which was at the other side, thus we took some time before finding the place.
The atmosphere inside is relaxing and high-classy. My friend ordered the 'Merluzzo Con Asparagi' for me, which is the cod fish dish he heard was nice. We were first served with plain water as we were not in the mood for their wines. A piece of garlic bread was also served to us. I must rave to you how simply delicious the bread is! The bread was really thin and crispy unlike the usual thick, chewy baguette type. It was baked warm and the garlic seasoning on top has hint of garlic flavour that is so pleasing to taste. I know it is just a complimentary starter, but i just cannot forget the simple yet extraordinary taste!
After the lovely bread, i was really looking forward to my main course. However, it took really long. My partner was halfway through his meal, while the customers behind me were also digging into their meal already. After enquiry, the serve apologetically told me the chef has burnt my fish and i have to wait 15 mins more for them to prepare a new one.
When my dish finally came, i was more than ready to tuck in. I am pleased with it though not impressed. From their description in the menu, i was looking forward to my 'baked chilean cod in pistachio crumble with asparagus, parsnip and pear puree in lemony white onion fondue'. My dish came with a satisfying piece of cod with the skin baked really crispy while the meat was moist and sweet. The cod was served on top of the puree which was mixed with quite a lot of sweet onion pieces in it. My dish costed about $45 after gst and svc. I am happy that i at least tried it once, but i doubt i will be visiting again.
