Decided on Bonding Kitchen for a mini gathering with Secondary schoolmates as the dishes by Chef Danny are something that I enjoy having, plus location is rather central. Reservation was made and confirmed via WhatsApp, a week earlier. The place is usually busy during PH and weekends, hence do make a reservation to avoid disappointment.

Set Menu |
Decided on the Set Menu for 4 pax as that allows us to enjoy the signatures plus enough variety to try. And, as I mentioned during
first visit, I'd be back to try the wine. The group prefers white, so we tried the Sauvignon Blanc. Tasted fresh, easy to drink with lemony notes.

Kueh Pie Tee Set for 4 pax |
The kueh pie tee is a fun set, as the components were nicely laid out and diner could try their hand assembling it prettily. If you have friends that do not want to do that, someone in that party will have to step up as the assembler for all. Hahaaa!

kueh pie tee, assembled |
The kueh pie tee was pretty to look at, and tasty with crisp shell. Just don't leave it out for too long. Loved that there's pork lard topping for those who enjoy.
For mains, we started with Wagyu Beef Rendang, followed by our choice of Ayam Buah Keluak. Enjoyed with blue pea rice (included in the set).

blue pea rice |
The wagyu beef rendang tasted as good as the first time, and those kerisik goes so well with the rice. Was impressed with ayam buah keluak. The sauce and those tender chunks of chicken were so good to eat. It's hard to stop at just one bowl of rice.
|
Sotong Masak Hitam |
My friends were surprised by the taste of Sotong Masak Hitam. I know, because that was my first reaction as well. For me, the Nyonya Chap Chye at Bonding Kitchen is the tastiest from all the nyonya chap chye I've tasted by far.

While it was tempting to add another bowl of rice, actually one is enough as there's still dessert!
|
Gula Melaka Panna Cotta |
The dessert was good too! Panna cotta was so wobbly and soft, yet retained abit of sticky-ness. Loved the gula melaka sauce as well with the right sweetness and fragrance.

yummy |
I liked all the dishes presented in the Set Menu and everything was tasty. Come try!
