Had a refreshing pineapple juice. It wasn't real fruit between, it's just pineapple syrup juice. The waiter is nice enough to tell me that. I love the crispy and fragrant garlic bread. We even had a second serving! I ordered their signature pasta for my main. It's angel hair pasta in special sauce. It is pretty unique and Singapore style! The sauce somehow tasted like a mixture of curry crab and laksa. All in all, not too bad a fine dining!

My first time here and decided to give it a go to anything! We had shitake consomme. It's some kinda clear chinese soup with shitake and vegetables. I didn't really like it as it is pretty tasteless. Perhaps it is really healthy! I ordered T.A.O. for myself which simply meant mixed juices of Tomato, Apple and Orange. I feel healthy drinking it! My main dish i had gratinated prawns.

Seriously they are not to my liking honestly.

I chose the 10.90 set lunch. This is the Prawn & Crab burger that is their home specialty! Indeed unique! Had not taste such a burger before. However, both me and my friends agreed that the meat patty is a little salty but there are real prawns inside! But not too bad~ Other 10.90 set lunch includes dory fish with spagetti, breaded chicken and many more, you can facebook chefdaniel's kitchen for a whole list of menu. The 10.90 portion is just nice for me, definitely makes one full!

Instead, another of my friend ordered the 16.90 set lunch of smoked duck breast. She said that it tastes normal and surprisingly, the portion is really small and we felt it's not worth it.

Chef Daniel's Kitchen is located at the rooftop of Illuma (level 7), collectively known as "Tornado" with other restaurants there. It presents east-meets-west fusion cuisine & its set lunches (include soup of the day & dessert) are very affordably priced at $10.50 (deluxe set lunch) or $16.50 (executive set lunch). This restaurant is quite popular so it's safer to call to make a reservation before you head down, to avoid disappointment. The restaurant decor is pretty modern & upmarket. Who can believe that its prices are so "commoner"? haha. The restaurant staff are pretty attentive & service-oriented too.

Both of us ordered the Deluxe Set lunch. My main course was Grilled Teriyaki Chicken while hers was Panfried Dory Fillet. As the set does not include drinks, you have a choice to top up $2 for any glass of soft drink or add your own beverage. She ordered a Sprite while I decided to heed the waiter's recommendation & try out the Premier Lychee Red Tea ($5.50) which falls under the Gourmet Chinese Tea category.

My Lychee Red Tea was very fragrant & I could even smell the lychee! The tea was filtered thru' the white porcelain cup & taken out of the glass once done. Interesting presentation! I was allowed to have maximum 3 glasses of the tea but I could only manage 2 glasses in the end.

The Clam Chowder soup is also great, especially for those who really enjoy savouring the clam bits, as there was really a lot until I found it hard to avoid eating it lol. Free flow of bread was also served with the soup but we only took 1 slice each, as it wasn't well toasted or chewy.

The teriyaki sauce on the Grilled Teriyaki Chicken was really yummy, & I finished every bit of it, together with the house salad. I tried a bit of the Pan-fried Dory Fillet but thought the ratatouille sauce was too sour for my liking, although the dory fillet was very fresh & tender.

I was quite full already before the dessert was served & actually forgot we still had 1 last course. However the sight of the dessert really tempted me to quickly take a bite haha. The cake was very well done, not too sweet but still had the sweet mango taste. Even those yellow sago bits were delicious too.

The mushroom soup is fantastic one of the best that I have tasted. It is thick and sweet, with lots of mushroom bits. The soup gets you addicted to it with every sip. There is also a bread to go with.

The Rose-wine Flambe Lamb Shank incorporates Western and Chinese style which makes it a fusion dish. It comes with the roasted vegetable and potatoes and resembles a lamb stew. The lamb is well cooked as the meat is very tender. The flavour of the gravy is also absorbed into the lamb and you could savour the taste. The gravy is pretty good, taste a bit sweet and sour.

The dessert was mango cake which was pretty in the way it was served. The cake was soft and has a very refreshing mango taste. It is not sweet and will make you crave for more.

I found the Prawn And Crabmeat patty in a Executive Set Lunch - Combo of Grilled Crabmeat Burger, Pepper Sausage and Teriyaki Chicken with grilled tomatoes and fries. Of course i love the Prawn And Crab Meat patty the most. The chicken is average but i like the sausage more than the chicken.

I like the dessert, just simple and nice. Especially the juicy "pearl" gives you a suprise.

For the service, i can say it's not up to the standard of a fine dinning restaurant. I cannot get what the waitress trying to say and they hardly can get what i said too. Most of them are from China.
It's better for you to communicate in Mandarin with them.

Note: I saw Chef Daniel in the restaurant chatting with his crews and friends. You know how great the feeling is when you see the chef in his own restaurant while he is running not only one restaurant in the town

Found their soup of the day minestone soup appetising and dessert cake simply lovely for my liking. Their liveband starts at 830 and it heightens the pleasant roof-top dining experience. On the whole, it was value for money considering the ambience and the food. I would definitely want to go back with my friends again.

Average at best.

With raving reviews about the strategic rooftop location and celebrity Chef Daniel himself, who is known for his award-winning dishes, expectations are set to be somewhat high.

Though i do agree with other reviewers that the price of $28 is considered very reasonable for a 3-course dinner at a fancy restaurant (It's only $10.50 for a 3-course lunch), but after trying the food and experiencing their service first hand, I can only say that it is average, so very average. I guess you get what you pay for.

While I wouldn't say service was bad in the sense that staff were rude or anything like that, but i'll say their staff was clueless, with a petite China waitress asking us if we'll like to order our deserts when we have not even finished our soup starter.

The restaurant keeps playing up their strategic location at the romantic rooftop sky garden on the 7th floor of Illuma, but so what? There's not much of a scenery or view even if you sit near the floor-to-ceiling windows because curtains were drawn (i heard that it is also drawn in the day time to block out the sun), neither is the place romantic because the tables and chairs are arranged so closely together that you can easily hear other people's conversations should they be conversing a tad too loudly. The only thing comforting about the ambiance is its high ceiling and warm lighting.

On to the food...

I'm absolutely delighted that they served Focaccia bread with vinegar and oil, one of my favorite ways to start the evening and perfect way to ease the long waiting time (contrary to the no. of chefs they actually have). The Potato and Leek soup was a nice change as i don't have it very often. A simple but tasty dish I must say.

I was glad they had lobster (I'm a steak kind of a girl, but would occasionally opt for lobster for indulgence and in this case everything was the same price so why not right?)

Thing to note when you order lobsters: they never come in big pieces and you're almost always never filled, not just here but other places as well. Apart from the miserly portion, I liked the interesting use of button mushrooms and cod roe gratin on the Baked Lobster which was overpowering the taste of the lobster, but in a good way.

Finally, the deserts! Black Florest Layered Cake. Fortunately and unfortunately, my group all thought that it was the best dish of the day (that's only because one of them ordered the chicken which he suspected to be chicken backside).

Overall, the food was really okay to me, but we were all expecting a lot more from Chef Daniel. But alas, Chef Daniel was nowhere to be spotted in the open kitchen.

Fancy rooftop dining without busting the budget? Head for Chef Daniel’s Kitchen then. There’s an attractively priced 3 course set menu at $10.50 nett and $28 nett for lunch and dinner respectively. Personally, I think it’s quite a steal. But then again, the prices need to be that low to attract diners since no one goes to Iluma at Bugis… It’s like a ghost mall on a weekday! The only crowd I see is always at the ground level where Koi is stationed.

The soup (ours was a very forgettable cream of carrot) and dessert of the day are fixed but when it comes to mains, there’s plenty of choices! 7, to be exact.

Chef Daniel’s award-winning wok-charred salmon with leek ragout (above) was good! I had mine with assorted beans instead of ragout. However, there was a bit of inconsistency cuz the friend’s fish was done perfectly—tender and juicy—while mine was overcooked and didn’t have that melt-in-the-mouth effect.

Dessert was an underwhelming brownie with coconut ice cream. Too much sugar, too little chocolate, enough said.

Chef Daniel's Kitchen, a newly setup rooftop restaurant located at the Sky Garden (level 7) of lluma at Bugis offers a very valuable Set Lunch @ S$10.50 Nett which includes soup of the day, main course, dessert of the day and a drink. These are some of the items that we have tried......

Soup of the Day:- They have a good range of soup such as cream of mushroom, corn, tomato and etc each day to go with the warm freshly baked herbal bread which comes together with the soup.

Prawn And Crab Meat Burger:- this seafood burger taste great with its yummy seafood patty that is moist and juicy. One add-on point is the fries that comes along with the burger is still hot and crispy while served.

Unagi Cooked in Katsu Sauce:- For me I guess I won't try a Japanese dish in a fusion restaurant unless it is highly recommended. But this bowl of unagi don should be able to fill up your tummy without much complains.

Spaghetti:- served with Pan-fried Dory fillet. This might be a great choice for those who love tomato sauce base spaghetti.

Dessert Of The Day:- Raspberry Mousse Cake is served with some tangerine sauce and the texture is kind of soft and moist with slight sour taste due to the berries.
