I have long read about Bistro Soori and finally took a trip down to sample their set lunch. Priced at $39.90 for a starter, cup of soup, main course and dessert, they have a variety of dishes for you to choose from. I love set lunches, and the number of choices I have for each course is an added bonus.For starters, I had the Pan Grilled Miso Scallops with Mango Miso Puree, Mixed Green, Balsamic Reduction.

For starters, I had the Pan Grilled Miso Scallops with Mango Miso Puree, Mixed Green, Balsamic Reduction. The scallops were very well done, not overcooked, thus it was soft and tangy. The mango puree enhanced the overall taste, as it complemented the slightly salty taste of the scallops.
Next came an espresso cup of soup, and the soup of the day was Miso Soup with Mushrooms. It was indeed an espresso cup - the portion of soup given could be bigger though. I am not really a fan of miso soup, and this was too salty for my liking.
For main course, I chose the Fish Of The Day (butterfish), with Fennel, Tomato, Tamarind, Thai Basil sauce. The fish was very fresh and the meat was soft, with the top pan fried till golden brown. The sauce went very well with the fish - slightly creamy, but not too overwhelming.
Lastly, I chose the Almond Milk Panna Cotta topped with Blueberry Gastrique and Almond Crumbs, and absolutely loved it. The panna cotta was very well done, a little milky and curd-like, and the almond taste was not too strong. The blueberries were a little sour, which complemented the sweet taste of the panna cotta well. Loved the almond crumbs which added a crunch to every mouthful.Overall a very satisfying lunch. Do make reservations in advance as seating is limited.
