2pax Lunch with Lisa @ Tippling Club Tanjong Pagar on 28Oct2022

wonderful 2pax lunch with Lisa today @ tippling club tg pagar on 28.10.2021.^^

one of the best lunches I had. 🙂

every dish was good..distinctive and delicious great combination of flavours..

we added a kagoshima wagyu $40supplement to share..it was quite sublime..

I can have one by myself haha! there were lots of food though..

Japanese musk melon was soaked in alcohol…we felt a bit wasted…as its expensive fruit so very sweet and doesn’t need process or augmentation…that’s just personal preference. lol! 🙂

place was well patronised for lunch during these covid times…about 75% tables take up..

service was professional. & they provided a birthday cake…

we had a great lunch …

cheow ghee bought birthday dinner @ en dining

cheow ghee bought dinner @ en dining capital towers on 25.10.2021..thanks bro..^^

https://goo.gl/maps/neeToAmW2Xnb4JjN9

wonderful ambience & very nice evening..

restaurant business quite down..

the wagyu beef surprisingly very good 👍🏻

& the ika karaage great too 👍🏻

the premium sushi set cheow ghee took didn’t come with uni as shown & written in menu

we mentioned to server at first they didn’t know how to react not trained..we didn’t want to escalate so just let it go as F&B everyone having hard time..

later they finally resolved & came back to say they reduce the set to $32 from $40 original ..

so credit to restaurant there was service recovery which I would have insisted in normal times 😃

restaurant also provided a slice birthday cake – tofu cheese cake

had a really good chat & relaxed evening with a close bro..

Excellent S$88 Omakase Lunch and further 50% Eatigo Discounts @ Mitsu Sushi Bar on 21Oct2021

had excellent omakase lunch with wife @ mitsu Duxton hill today on 22.10.2021.^^

after delivering HCA lunch…. 🙂

really enjoyable lunch =https://goo.gl/maps/KukUC7Y6pvEiD6fD9

took $88pax omakase lunch with 50% eatigo discounts at 12pm (for alacarte menu & omakase menu)

fish liver appetiser good

sashimi was good standard 1 otoro & 2 amaebi very fresh & sweet..kampachi tai & hirame average thick cut slight fibrous sinewy…

cooked dish a snapper average more like Singapore snapper with black truffle shavings & japanese ginkyo nuts..

sushi omakase was very good even though no otoro chutoro

but akami lean toro very sweet & all the other fish cuts excellent especially the engawa 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

the soup had asari (lala) a better standard soup

the macha ice cream with mocha and I think Japanese red beans, was great.

we added $28 truffle kampachi…a bit meagre but then had 50% eatigo discounts…don’t really need though…

S$88pax lunch omakase & with 50% eatigo discounts really great lunch..

the undiscounted sets looked great too..will come back & try..

service was polite above average.
