I was invited for the ORTU event held by Openrice.com, which was held over the weekend at Hotel Re! Re!Fill Restaurant and I could bring a friend along. I have to say, I was impressed,with the ambience & set up of the restaurant. And we get to know other openricers and we chatted while waiting for the delicious meal to serve us.The Abalone seafood laksaThis is the most luxurious laksa I had before, with ABALONE, Scallop, big prawns and etc. The seafood are all very fresh, and I like how the scal
The Abalone seafood laksaThis is the most luxurious laksa I had before, with ABALONE, Scallop, big prawns and etc. The seafood are all very fresh, and I like how the scallop was prepared. It's actually panfried with some char but not overcooked which make it tender and perfect. The abalone is not too big, but its still very nice! (coz it's free XD) The laksa gravy is creamy and I like the consistency, though my friends feels that was too creamy. I like the green minced leaves flavour that works in the soup too. The portion of the noodle is just nice.
So after the main one, the chef actually prepared other surprise dish for us to try on. It's the lobster set meal but I didn't try on the lobster itself.
Mushroom soup pastryThe pastry is crispy and fragrant, and the mushroom soup is creamy. I dont quite like this kind of white creamy soup, I prefer the dark brown type which has a lot of mushroom bits. But the soup was warm and it does warm up my stomach so it's still nice.
Smoked duck saladThis is my most like dish! The duck meat slice is nicely grilled, the lettuce and other veggie are frsh and crunchy, the almonds and walnuts added the chunchiness, and the dressing has tangy peanut flavour. I think just having this two big plates of salad already can satisfy me!
DessertThe chocolate brownie has strong chocolate flavour, which I like it! Though its only very small in pieces, I feel satisfied coz I don't think i can eat a big one after all the dishes.
Overall this dining experience is quite precious and I would hope to join the next ORTU with friends the next time.
