My last dinner at Cafe Gray Deluxe was cut short by an upset stomach so I thought this place definitely warranted a second go-around.
It was a Saturday afternoon and the dining room was already packed with people when we arrived. At first glance, we were a bit disappointed with the small table they have reserved for us. There was absolutely no privacy there having been sandwiched by two groups of people. We let our server know and they were very accommodating in putting us at a different corner with a much bigger table (Scoring some points there).
Our server then carefully went through the menu with us, giving us some recommendations. That was very much appreciated but of course being here for the second time, we already had some ideas what we would be ordering.
Roasted quail with red beet salad
This is an encore of a dish ordered last time. The quail was a bit overcooked last time but no problem this time around. The quail was roasted to perfection and the seasoning was very appropriate.
Tiger prawn salad
I was expecting something along the line of a caesar salad with a couple of prawns on top. So when I saw this dish arriving on our table, it almost knocked me right off my chair. Superb presentation and it tasted even better than it looked.
Grilled sea trout
This dish was probably the 'lowest-scoring' one out of the four. We were expecting the sea trout to have a bit more fat content but this sea trout fillet was very dry and lacked the fresh taste of a sea fish.
Roasted chicken in curry sauce
My dad always tells me nothing beats a nice chinese dish made of fresh free-range chicken and I tend to agree. Now I am having second thoughts. The roasted chicken was surprisingly tender and juicy, which came unexpected from a frozen poultry.
The only blemish of the lunch came from a party of 3 sitting very close to you, who were speaking very loudly over the course of the entire lunch. Other than that, we have enjoyed our time there very much. Dessert was nothing to write home about but that's okay. We had our stomach full already and the service and ambience were unbeatable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone, who's into fine or casual dining.
