Very heavy rain. With no where else to go to, just stay in Chinatown complex to look for dessert while waiting rain to stop.

Orders 3 different desserts : Black sesame paste, peanut paste, almond paste ($1.50 each ), as it has been a long time since I last eaten here. Wants to try as much as possible.

The peanut paste tastes the best. The black sesame paste is tasteless, just feels like starch, none of the black seasame. The almond paste is ok but feels that not enough the almond's taste.

Lavender-infused white mousse cake is the worst of all. A tasteless block of frozen whipped cream covered with sweeten mousse and topped with sour strawberry slices. I could hear the next table complaining about the same dessert too.
Oven-baked Wagyu Tenderloin on Pumpkin Mash with Onion Confit - Request for middle-rare, but come middle-well. Taste wise well done.
Salmon on sauteed vegetables - Abit oily but the salmon is juicy.
Double-boiled Consomme with Oxtail Ravioli - The soup is full-bodied, the stuffing in the ravioli is abit hard and dry.

It’s quite a battle trying to eat lobster 🦞 without using bare hands. Even with fork and knife it was tiring. The meat struck to the shell.

There was both indoor air con and outdoor alfresco dining by the river. As the weather was extremely hot, most preferred the cool indoor. The menu was in a newsletter style and quite worn out. Although there was a queue, it moved quite fast. There was free wifi with password written at the cashier counter which I did not notice until I make payment.

Kagoshima-Style Braised Pork Cartilage in Fish Soup with Mixian 鹿兒島豬軟骨米線 (S$8.50++)
The soft bones were very soft and the meat was well braised and fork tender. The broth was very flavourful without fishy taste, although it was more on the milky side.

Crispy Bun with Condensed Milk 脆嘩奶油豬 (S$4++)
Wish that it was served with knife so that it would be easier to eat. Instead one had to tear it apart with just fork and spoon. Would prefer it with more butter.

Almond Milk with Egg White 生磨蛋白杏仁露 (S$7++)
The drink was served hot. Not too sweet without any powdery texture which was usually found in almond drink in cafe.

The place was packed for lunch during Saturday. I decided on the omakase lunch which was consisted of 7 courses (S$97++). My only request was the dessert not to be the restaurant's signature Wild Rocket Chendol which I just had a couple of weeks ago. Ice water was served after placing order.Course 1 : Bah Chor Mee
Negitoro (minced fatty tuna) topped with chopped spring onion and chilli padi, crispy lards, fried shallots, on top of a bed of warm glass noodles.Course 2 : Thai Pomelo Salad
Served with tiger prawns & frozen coconut dressing
The dressing was like a scoop of ice cream and made of coconut, chilli, fish oil, and shallot. It tasted quite lemak. Having it with mint leaf, pomelo, and cilantro, it tasted quite refreshing with hint of spicy and sweetness of fruit. Course 3 : Chilli Crab
Crab cake made of blue crab and spanner crab, served with chilli crab sauce.
The crab cake was packed with nothing but crab meat. Quite juicy and yummy on its own.Course 4 : Hokkien Mee
Fresh pasta cooked with prawn stock, and hae ko (black shrimp paste). It was quite flavourful but a bit too salty for me.Course 5 : Wild Rocket Strawberry Cheesecake
It served deconstructed style in a Martini glass. Creamy without too sweet or sour.
I was surprised that I was served dessert before my main. I later asked the staff who thought I already had it. In the end I went through what I had with 2 different staffs and decided that there was 2 more courses.Course 6 : Black vinegar iberico pork jowl with pickled cabbage and chestnut puree
The meat was quite tender and pulled out easily. Quite appetizing with the pickled vegetables.Course 7 : Lychee sorbet with lychee martini gummy
The sorbet was topped with ginger flower and blue pea flower. Interesting flavours of the light lychee and the slightly stronger ginger flower. Quite refreshing.

Overall the food was not bad but was a tab upset about my course of dishes being overlooked. By the way as the place was full house, it was quite noisy too.
