The only impression that I have for LKF before this meal was bars, bars, and bars However Lily & Bloom, located right at the heart of LKF, offers otherwise. The staff are well-mannered and greeted me nicely upon my arrival As I stepped into the restaurant, I was attracted by the use of grayish tone in the infrastructure and deem light that make the bright candles along the corridor very eye catching.

As I stepped into the restaurant, I was attracted by the use of grayish tone in the infrastructure and deem light that make the bright candles along the corridor very eye catching. There were quite a bit of diners in the restaurant for a weekday night
I was lead to the sofa zone in the restaurant. The restaurant is not particularly large in area but a spacious feeling is felt by the extension to the upper floor. The glass decoration on the upper floor and the inclusion of the large wine glass rack create a roomy environment. I particularly like the large wine glass , it is hanged on the ceiling and it glimmers as the light reflects on the wine glasses. What I like about Lily & Bloom is that candles are everywhere! The candles on the tables, together with the dim light, create a romantic feeling in the restaurant. The restaurant provided a cozy and relaxing environment for me even before the dinner has begun.

The cocktail that I had before the dinner was Buccaneer's Brew. It is a mixture of cold dripped coffee and rum. The staff first explained thoroughly on the process of making cold brew coffee and how it works well with rum I am not a particular alcohol lover but I quite like the mixture of the taste of coffee and rum as I tried it. The bitterness from the coffee binds well with the sweetness of rum. A very nice cocktail before the meal

Cedar River Beef TartareThe dish is presented with an egg yolk surrounded by greens placed nicely on the tartare. The mustard aioli is beautifully drawn on the dish with crispy shallots and smoky red pepper sauce surrounding the tartare The herbs add some fragrance to the dish which make it more aromatic. The tartare is cold while the cripsy shallots is a bit warm, they complement well with each other. The crispy shallots add a bit of crush as I had the shallots and tartare together. The yolk is oozy and adds silkiness to the tartare as well As I enjoyed the dish, the tartare itself is fragrant and its smell intensifies as it is dipped with the mustard aioli and smoky red pepper sauce. A bit of heat is felt when having the tartare. This is the first time I have had beef tartare with egg yolk and it tastes very delicious. The egg yolk coats all the ingredients together and makes the mouthful pack with flavor. A very high quality appetizer

Steak FritesA classic dish that is served in many restaurnats. As usual I ordered a medium rare for the steak as I like a bit of tenderless from the cut Instead of placing the food on a plate, the rib-eye and the bowl of fries are placed on a wooden board alongside with two little cups of sauce to create a rustic feel. The staff explained how the fries were made. Unlike normal fries that only have saltiness, these fries are coated with pepper immediately after they are fried. The rib-eye has its natural flavor with salt and pepper as seasoning on it. The bloom ketchup gives a bit of heat to the rib-eye while the house daikon sauce delivers a layer of sweetness to it. The rib-eye is really nicely grilled with charcoal marks on it. It is succulent, juicy and full of flavor. Most important of all it is not overcooked Nothing worse when a medium rare steak is cooked to well done

The dish smelt nice but it was a bit too heavy to have this dish after finishing the beef tartare and steak I was quite full by the time I had this dish already. Nonetheless, the short rib tastes delicious and overall it is quite nice

The first dessert was crepes with peach, almonds, and ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce. The ice cream and slices of peach were quite sweet. The caramel sauce is the highlight of this dish. I like the saltiness that is hidden in the caramel sauce which balances perfectly well with the sweetness in other ingredients

Ice cream is the ultimate indulgence for everyone, including me There are ice cream scoops, cream, and cherry in this delicious dessert. I especially like the cruchy bits that go with the sundae, they provide another texture to this dessert. I couldn't help but to finish everything inside!!!
