I remembered being here before, and I was right! But that was a long time ago with Cherlyn. Back then, she was my wine buddy. Now 2021, am here again with the wine gang on a Friday night.

| back here, after 7 years |
In 2021, still seated at alfresco area. Deja-vu. Reservation was definitely necessary on Friday evenings. The place was a tad chaotic, with a few people waiting at its door, for the hostess to be avail. Staff are friendly but they have pre-assigned tasks.
It was a short 15 minutes wait, before we were assigned a table. This is a place with sparkling or still, so sparkling it shall be.

| Ferrarelle 750ml @$3.90++ |
 |
| World's US Finest Oysters @$57.60++ |
Let's start with fresh oysters, and can't say no to that! We got a dozen to share amongst the 5 of us. That worked out to be $4.80++ per piece. Plump, briny and creamy.

| closer look |
 |
| Terre Gaie Prosecco DOC @$66++ |
We had Prosecco with the fresh oysters. The house curated Prosecco bottle price is reasonable.
 |
| cheers! |
Lovely start. Ivan recommended the "Gift from the Angels" (cold angel hair pasta with scallops and truffle oil) and when asked if would like to top it with uni (sea urchin), the answer was yes. We do atas that night.

| Cold Angel Hair Pasta @$88++ |
It was really good. Perfect harmony and so tasty. Would we care for more? Why, yes! And, we ordered one more when Bernice arrived. Am opined to think that this is one of those things to eat before we die, if one could afford it.
Come to think of it, we started with seafood so let's move on to meat. We gonna have chicken and tenderloin to satisfy the meatatarian in us.
The chicken was nice and pleasant, and the sauce was a tad spicy. Not sure what's in there, but pretty good combo with the cauliflower.
 |
| Chicken alla Diavola @$28.60++ |
 |
| Tenderloin @$44.60++ |
The doneness of the steak was incorrect initially, and we informed the staff. Service recovery was fast, and a new plate was brought for us without a fuss.
 |
| Tenderloin - medium rare |
Time flies when you're having fun, and soon, it was time for dessert. "How about some gelato or sorbet?"
 |
| chocolate and pistachio gelato, mango sorbet |
My favourite was the pistachio gelato. But it melted too fast! Keke, no worries 'coz am gonna have an affagato all by myself. Yay!
 |
| Affogato with vanilla ice-cream @$9.90++ |
But that's not all, there's more! The chocolate fondant took quite a while to arrive, and we got a complimentary pistachio gelato. Wow, that's a nice gesture. It warmed our hearts.
 |
| Chocolate Fondant @$14.90++ |
"Do you think it'd flow?"
Lovely meet up with Elle, Hoong Ann, B and Ivan. Thank you Ivan for arranging the dinner!
