I planned to celebrate my friend's birthday with a drink on the rooftop bar and then dinner at Penthouse. Too bad the rooftop bar was closed due to the strong wind. We went straight to dinner. The view was indeed magnificent but the layout of the tables caused half of the diners eating with their backs to the view. What a waste!The bread was quite disappointing. My friend's daughter, a self-learner, can bake better bread. We ordered Foie Gras and Eel as the starter. The two had no relatio
The bread was quite disappointing. My friend's daughter, a self-learner, can bake better bread. We ordered Foie Gras and Eel as the starter. The two had no relation at all on the plate. They tasted good but I don't know why they were put together. The main was the very highly recommended Spanish Duroc Pork Ribs in other reviews. Yes, the ribs were tender and melted in the mouth but not tasty. I had to keep pouring the balsamic vinegar sauce on. For dessert, we ordered Tiramisu and the one with Berries Sorbet. They were kind of molecular gastronomy. The look was not appealing and the taste was very ordinary.
The best of the whole dinner were the side dishes. The Fries with truffle dip was a must to have. The Roasted Asparagus was fresh and crunchy (only a few tiny pieces though).
The food was on the pricey side and the service could be improved - a waiter collected all our cutlery before we finished eating our food!!!
