food and service always good standard here. 🙂
braised duck smooth and flavourful.
no need to order chinese tea la…the complimentary tea was better. lol!
best dimsum was the crispy prawn fun cheong. perfect texture & taste. everyone’s favourite!
I like the polo char siew pao though not as good as crispy char siew pao..
har gao good as always.
soya sauce noodles mediocre. friend ordered for his mom.
the orh nee was good.
overall a very nice lunch with friend and mom. we all should take very opportunity to bring the older folks out when they wish to, to share & cherish the time together.

today my turn to buy 3pax lunch @ la tapiera on 1.12.2020.^^
have not been here for a while.
the excellent set lunch menu still same. I recommended the spanish octopus leg ala plancha and the asparagus.
asparagus was excellent. octopus legs today ok still nice but not done so well slightly tough. my friend went back with family few days later and tried the octopus again. he said this time excellent. 🙂
the lamp rump was still superb, so tender and tasty and excellent salsa and sauce.
a friend ordered the duck. he tried some of my lamb rump & commented duck was ordinary by comparison.
a wonderful lunch & chat with these 2 younger friends.

his a pop up by chef ace tan who helms 1-vu (pronounced one view) at outpost hotel sentosa..
outpost hotel is closed till jan2021 becos covid & chef ace tan has pop ups at various locations this month including at stellar which belongs to the same one group.
esplanade waterfront
boat quay padang
padang night view
the view from stellar is stunning in daylight & when litted up in the darkness
chef tan’s dishes equally stunning..
korean fusion degustation
after the first dish of pen shaped shellfish (fan scallop) we asked to upgrade from 5-course to the 7-course menu
every dish was excellent!
superb F1 wagyu2
my favourite of all the great dishes = the F1 wagyu (1st gen cross between wagyu & angus) was simply amazing, marbled & beefy flavoured at same time.
korean wrap dish
the wrap dish was very interesting too. like a Vietnamese rice paper wrap…very tasty too. like it!
squid, pork, oyster umami sauce2
the iberico pork was very good (chef said korea not exporting jeju black pig yet)..
though the squid preparation cannot c/w galician octopus and the even better spanish grilled octopus..
tile fish, snow crab
amadai (tile fish) was superb too! & the sauce bestest!
chef ace tan expert in sauces..very good, umami!
abalone oyster porridge
& the abalone porridge so tasty especially the oyster flavours..actually it is oyster porridge with abalone slices..abalone great texture, sweet but not same tasty as chinese braised abalones..
maybe I can try improvise here..no need abalone or used can braised abalones ok ..the porridge itself already so tasty..
korean yuzu, nashi pear
the ginger tea jelly dessert was super very refreshing!
hope to try out ace chef tan’s other dishes at 1-vu outpost hotel when they teopennin jan2021.
