Dear my brunch diary,I think i have found the worst boozy brunch. Ironically, it’s in a beautiful designed restaurant with a breathtaking view. I was so impressed by the interior design when i first walked in. The dark long corridor is pretty cool. Love their tables for 2 along the window, just like the old Aqua at 1 Peking Road. The restaurant is only 1/4 full. I wondered why as all boozy brunch in town is fully booked. I know the reason right after I tried their food. The menu is not comprehen

The menu is not comprehensive. The cheapest package is same as Zuma. It’s hard not to compare their menus as they both serve similar cuisine.
They serve the pizza by asking around. Funny thing was, they asked us if we would like to have some pizza before any starters were served.
And then boom! All starters served in the same time. I feel like i am in one of those Japanese all you can eat restaurant. The karaage, gyoza, and other starters supposed to be hot were not hot at all. The maki rolls were really average. Sashimi was ok. They don’t even have scallop or prawns. Oysters were really small and tasteless. Pizza wasn’t bad. Good crust!
For main course, we chose gnocchi and porchetta.
Gnocchi was up to standard. Porchetta was slightly dry but the skin is crispy.
Dessert platter is ok. Nothing special.
Overall, I was quite disappointed. There’s no dish can make me want to visit again. I feel quite pity, a restaurant like this with a lovely view, good location and cool interior design, to serve this quality of food. If the food they serve can be at least up to standard, they will be able to pull it off and I am sure there’ll be fewer empty tables on a Sunday brunch. And people is willing to even pay more for good food with a good view.
Unfortunately, Aqua is at the bottom of my brunch list.
