went with friends (we had 4pax) to try out the june S$100gourmet dinner at lewin terrace on 24.6.2016. ^^

my last 100 gourmet at disgruntled chef @ ang siang hill was very good!

was considering to try the restaurant. the prices for regular lunch & dinner menus on the high side for me though not outrageous. & the june menu with 2 japanese chefs in a modern jap euro restaurant sounded good for a start.

for me, this was a very good menu & also a very good dinner (with the exception of dessert).

the claimed S$180++pax for non citibank card for this quality of ingredients & food would not be outrageous & just their normal menu pricing, though for myself only that would be on the high side for the food.

so for S$100 gourmet (about S$121 nett with some booking admin charges) was for me a very good dinner.

we started with a small selections.

i had kumamoto prawns first but haha…that was a let down la!

i have tried sweet fresh kumamoto prawns. this is not it! not sweet & texture also wrong. this item would be much below par…fortunately the rest were very good!

white asparagus was very good.

very sweet, excellent texture, fine dining restaurant standard.

the mozarella pannacotta was smooth, flavourful, had some savoury & also citrous combination. very nice!

i like the pork rillette, very flavourful..

i mostly like well done rillette dishes, especially duck rilette, so very “pang”.

one of the best duck rillette i had was at clifford on 27.3.2014. so long liao. must go back la!

the yellow tail with some tobiko (cod roes) was good. nothing special though, like any hamachi sashimi…

i like this broad bean pie thingy. something different & a different texture to accompany the other doshes.

second course was a foie gras veloutte.

the foie gras was done as a mousse. the yellow top was the corn veloutte, which was less a soup than a sauce.

the whole experience was quite wonderful, very nice, flavourful.

for me the pasta was excellent!

one friend did not quite it though. he felt this manner of fine dining serving the pasta was cold.

i cooked very good pasta myself so if i order pasta outside it would be dishes i cannot cook & this would be one of them.

the salted fish roe bottarga is an italian delicacy & made the pasta so tasty.

the seafood, mussels & scallops etc were small helping but good quality. one fine dish this was!

& the seabream was a very good class fine dining preparation.

very sweet consistent tender fish (probably sous vide) with excellent lobster broth as sauce.

a top fine dining restaurant standard.

the kagoshima wagyu had to be the best.

i asked, the server said about 75g.

very marbled melt-in-the-mouth & nicely grilled wagyu.

not the best wagyu i had but a very good one.

after that i had an excellent, better ohmi wagyu at hachi on 7.7.2016. ^^

the dessert was pretty like a japanese painting.

the white chocolate was a bit better.

the ones of the left side (texture & taste not as good as a good madeleine) were forgettable.

but overall the dinner was quite exquisite for me for S$121pax nett. not overly so. i would say (if not taking account of the fact that this one has kagoshima wagyu) the overall cooking was better at my last 100gourmet at disgruntled chef.

so i was very happy with this dinner!
