Was invited to the restaurant for the ORTU session and definitely the name of One Rochester Group do ring a tinkle on my mind and immediately the bar was set high up there in full anticipation of the services and quality of the food that were to be served. Reached the premises and was immediately greeted by the receptionist with a warm smile as initiated. I was shown to their lounge area that are specially closed for the day in order to cater for the tasting session.Thumbs up on the hospitality and arrangements. Prompt and speedy attention was given and nothing was left in despair.
Bon appettie is the word to start off the tasty session. ORTU was first shown to the bar counter and was told that we will start off the session with 7 shots of cocktails that are specially created by their house mixologists - Kiki & Ivan Fernandez in the form of 7 "SINS" and yes they are all playfully sinful. By hearing the numbers of the cocktails that we have to taste...i can feel my blood rushing through my micro mili veins. Kudos on the arrangement by Kiki and ensure that we will get to taste the "SINS" from the lightest to the strongest alcoholic content. Yes....and to the fifth shot of cocktail that i had, i can say that i pretty much feeling the heat within me. All the cocktails are exquisitely presented in order to attain the maximum attractions to its "PARTNERS' which are the ORTU group and from the point of concentration that the "SINS" are garnering...i guess it summarise us all human beings in the world - Pride, Greed, Despair, Wrath, Envy, Sloth and Lust! Do note that this is the 7 sins chosen for us out of their 30 plus sins on hand! Special mention on the Envy which mainly consists of brandy & lychee that is being presented on a 2 in 1 glass separation mode...that you will be drinking from 2 straws in 2 glasses to "connect" as one! Talking about creativity and passion at its best!
After 30 minutes of hoos and haas for the cocktail tasting @ the bar helmed by Kiki by assistant...we were then seated down on the comfy seats with a generous amount of sea breeze brushing pass us. Total relaxation in alfresco setting sets in and with the "float" effect that filled us all up with the 7 shots of cocktail that we had, we were all looking forward on the starter & entrees that best bestow the standards of food quality associated with One Rochester Group!
From the first all the way till to the very last course of the dishes that are being presented and served, i can say that the whole crew from the serving staff all the way to the kitchen sync up into one which pretty much translate and form the One Rochester family. No stones were left unturned to envision every single dish on its prospective perfection. Food freshness are at its best with the minimal usage of additional condiments or spices to create the additional "TOUCHES" which their Executive Chef of the group Christopher Millar strongly uphold.
Strong recommendations and the "MUST TRY 3M Adhesive" tag are on their Seafood platter and Baby Roasted Chicken. I guess the slogan which is the "freshest catch of the day" best depicts the involvement of all ingredients of the seafood platter, with the oysters on the bay taking the lead to be the most sought after "NEEDS"! The roasted chicken was totally crisp on the outside with tenderness all submerged within the inner self of the heavenly structure. Culinary finest on hand!
With the session coming to an end...we were all hyped up on the arrival of our "sweetest enemies" and once again the benchmark are there and they did not disappoint! My eyes are "drooling" with the selection of desserts that are served in the Grande Assiette which consists of petite portion of their house desserts that include the lemon soufflé. Totally refreshing and light with the pitch perfect sweetness that contrast on the mild sourness which practically "melts" before tunneling it down into my mouth!
Its a "BIG" thumbs up from me and this is the place to be "SOAKED" in after a day of work...to unwind yourself from the urban world and giving yourself the pampering that you may long well deserved! Last but not the least, a date with your loved ones is a must at One TwentySix as it is the finest by the beach!
Sincere gratitudes to the invitation extended by OpenRice team & great appreciation on the hospitality by One TwentySix Coast Management & Staff ( Juwanda & Chiew Yan)!
