The first thought that came to my mind when I walked into the restaurant was, 'This is like a Casa Fina wannabe, but with more meat dishes.' Especially when I saw that they have buy-1-get-1-free offer on selected oysters from Sunday to Thursday.Being quite hungry and couldn't be bothered to listen to all the descriptions, we decided to try all of the 5 types of oysters on offer.As the waiter recommended to us, we tried them in the following order:- Scottish Rock - Colchester- Mont St. Michelle-
Being quite hungry and couldn't be bothered to listen to all the descriptions, we decided to try all of the 5 types of oysters on offer. As the waiter recommended to us, we tried them in the following order:
- Scottish Rock
- Colchester
- Mont St. Michelle
- Ostra Regal
- Gillardeau
And in the order from favourite to most dislike:
- Gillardeau: Not too creamy, not too salty and I love the sweet after taste of this
- Mont St. Michelle: Smoothest one of the five and also the smallest, but I like the creaminess
- Colchester: Meaty and quite refreshing
- Ostra Regal: Salty and very strong flavored, not my cup of tea
- Scottish Rock: Tasted very metallic. I wouldn't order it again
After oysters, it was our second starter Oyster Soup. The soup is cream based but not as thick the spinach oyster soup at Casa Fina. It's flavoursome, but a bit on the salty side in my opinion. It went will with the bread though.
Now the mains. First was the King Prawn Spaghetti Sicilian Style. It was very slightly undercooked, not perfectly al dente. However, the prawn tasted fresh and the tomato sauce with dried squid was very delicious.
Second main that we ordered was the Crab Meat Risotto. I am afraid this was a miss. The risotto was dry and lacked the seafood flavors I was after. The crab meat was not as fresh as I expected. The whole dish just tasted very plain. Finally, the dessert - Chocolate Fondant. What a major disappointment! The cake was too dry on the outside and not sweet / almost bitter. The vanilla ice-cream had bits of ice in it and just wasn't smooth at all. It's one of the worst ones I've had.
