I had been here many years ago and I recalled their slow service. After so many years, I was back for a business lunch. The interior decoration seemed a bit different yet their service seemed to be slow as usual.Their lunch sets were 4-course including an appetiser, mains, dessert and coffee/tea. Each course offered a few options to choose from with some requiring top-ups. As it was a business lunch, I picked all courses without any additional top-ups.There was a basket of bread on our table wit
Their lunch sets were 4-course including an appetiser, mains, dessert and coffee/tea. Each course offered a few options to choose from with some requiring top-ups. As it was a business lunch, I picked all courses without any additional top-ups.
There was a basket of bread on our table with two types of bread for each of us. There was a round bun which had a crispy crust and soft interior. Another type was French baguette which was also crispy yet had soft interior. There was a lovely plate with butter, smashed olive and tomatoes to go with the bread (Please see top left hand corner of the photo below). The bread was nicely kept in the basket covered by a thick napkin so that they remained pretty warm even though they had been left on our table for quite a while. The quality of the bread was above average.

Signature Truffle Mushroom Soup with Almond Flakes
I normally ordered salad instead of soup but chose this because it was signature. When served, it smelt really good of truffle. It consisted of quite a lot of smashed mushroom but I personally would prefer a much smoother texture. There were some almond flakes to add texture but I think there could be much more as I managed to find maybe just 3 almond flakes. Overall it was ok but I had expected more.

Fish Waterzooi of Cod and Yellow Croaker with Mixed Seasonal Vegetables, Flemish Cheese Sauce at $238+10%
According to my lunch partner, this item seemed to be new on the menu. It was served on a big pot which was very hot. There were two types of fish - Cod and Yellow Croaker. Unfortunately, not all the bones were removed so we had to be extra careful while eating. The cod was just so-so and it was such a small piece. But the Yellow Croaker was a very generous amount and it had been pan-fried/ovened so well in advance that the skin was so crispy and tasty and the flesh was so juicy. Very good Yellow Croaker indeed. The Flemish Cheese Sauce smelt very good of white wine and it was very tasty! I couldn't help but finish all of the sauce afterwards. Mixed seasonal vegetables included two big pieces of radish, a lot of purple cabbages which were so sweet and tasty, and onion slices. Portion was so big that I felt so full after finishing it.
My lunch partner ordered the rib eye which was so thin and didn't seem to be particularly pleasing so I would say my fish waterzooi should be much better.

Traditional Tiramisu
The Tiramisu was the type which was very moist and quite alcoholic. With the berry sauce and the strawberries, it was not heavy at all and was quite a good end to the meal.
Coffee or tea was included in the set. I just ordered hot lemon water which had 3 slices of lemon in it with nothing special.
Seating was reasonably comfortable with sufficient room among tables. Yet, as mentioned earlier on, service was slow as we had to follow up with our mains at 1:30p.m. when we were seated at around 12:40p.m. At that time, we saw that many other eaters hadn't had their mains either so it was not just us. That said, overall quality of the food was reasonable and the price was sort of justified.
