Orgasmic food and exemplary service are always huge motivators for one wanting to come back to a restaurant for more; case in point Braise @ Palawan Beach Sentosa, SingaporeBraise is located on the small island of Sentosa (the most Southern tip of Singapore) over looking Palawan beach. The restaurant itself is set up in the old Palawan Beach train station. Getting there can be a bit of a hassle but once you’re there you quickly forget the trip in. A point of note however; the restaurant does
Braise is located on the small island of Sentosa (the most Southern tip of Singapore) over looking Palawan beach. The restaurant itself is set up in the old Palawan Beach train station. Getting there can be a bit of a hassle but once you’re there you quickly forget the trip in. A point of note however; the restaurant does have a dress code; sorry guys no flip-flops or singlet's allowed in this place!
Pushing away the big ass door you enter the restaurant main; the staff warmly greet you with a very enthusiastic smile and you’re promptly whisked away and seated at your table. The set Sunday brunch changed slightly from the last time I was there; but in no way shape or form was it for the worst.
Having some of my good friends along to share the dining experience only helped make the food taste even better and the clock tick ever so slowly… Enter stage left.. our Entree list.. from left to right, top to bottom
Mushroom Soup: Nice thick and aromatic, served in a little cup for you to drink out of. If you love your mushroom soup this is really tasty
Caesar Salad: Usually a Caesar Salad brings life to a dull meal; in this case this was one of the few items that took the longest to finish; not because it didn’t taste bad, just that there was way too many other dishes for us to sink our greedy little mouths into!
Seared Scallop with Wakame Pasta: This dish was simply orgasmic! The combination of the scallop and the sea weed with the pasta just left me speechless and wanting to go in for a 3rd and 4th helping. Sadly everyone else had the same idea, and I had to settle for two helpings
Deep Fried Oyster with Garlic Aioli: With or without the sauce this was delicious. The exterior was crisp, while the whole little parcel of goodness oozed flavor on every bite.
Tomato & Mozzarella Cheese Tart with Parma Ham: I’m an absolute sucker for Parma Ham, it’s salty character and chewy texture coupled with the tart had me wanting to eat more!
Baby Octopus with Passion Fruit and Peanut Dressing: Octopus and Passion Fruit; weird combination you may say, not with this dish. The octopus was cooked just rite and the passion fruit helped give it a little ‘zest’ and a crunchy taste with every bite
Pan Fried Shrimp & Crab Cake with Peanut Sauce: Too small, too small! These little beauties were too small for my liking, just when I was beginning to let the flavors swim in my mouth the portion was gone, I’m going to have to come back when no one else is around. Sorry, I had to dedicated one single picture to the Foie Gras. I know it’s cruel how they make it. I know I should not be enjoying it; but with the delicate cut of the knife to pierce the crisp outside and letting each savory morsel melt in my mouth I felt as if I were going to commit a sin by not enjoying it. To say I am a fan of foie gras is an understatement. I really cannot find the superlatives to state how wonderful and tasty this interpretation of how to cook and serve foie gras other than “please sir can I have some more?”
Verdict: Perfect place, fantastic service, delicious well prepared food and good company made for yet another wonderful day out at Braise. Oh and by the way the service staff were so nice to set aside separate servings of all the above dishes for one of my friends who turned up late!
