Was staying at Naumi over the weekend, hence decided to try out Florian, located on the first floor of Naumi Hotel. How convenient! Plus, hotel guests enjoy 10% off the total bill.
Loved the space at Florian. Its alfresco seats looked so comfy but I'd still prefer dining indoors, with airconditioning.

Most of their food items are on its online menu except for the full wine list. For dinner, I opted for '60 days dry-aged ribeye' steak, medium rare with a glass of Baby Amarone. Not often, does one get to see amarone option with per glass option.

Loved the taste of the baby amarone. Less sweet than its sibling, but just as appealing with ripe red fruit taste.
 |
| 60-day Dry Aged Ribeye (200g) @$29++ |
The ribeye were more of a medium than medium rare, and served without sauce. Loved the asparagus and baby potatoes. Natural tasting and enjoyable with the wine. Portion was alright and that left some room for dessert.
The pasta here is also quite good. I tried their signature Collatura di Alici which is essentially, pasta aglio olio style with essence of anchovies, parsley and lemon.

The two staff that I met at Florian; PY and Shermaine, recommended the King Prawn pasta. I spied other guests having it, and it looked good. Perhaps, next time.

| Traditional Tiramisu @$15++ |

| sweet finale |
Loved the plating of the tiramisu and its portion. Sweetness was just nice. There were only 3 items to choose from for dessert, and naturally, it was just between tiramisu and panna cotta. Hmm, I don't think I'll order lava cake from a restaurant if I could help it. Just not my thing.
The cocktails were delicious too. Managed to try Verdant and Grey's Orchard.

Verdant, is my kind of drink. Made of gin, elderflower liquer, lime, honey and cucumber. Can't go wrong with gin and elderflower. But the taste that intrigued me was the saltiness in the cup. I was wondering if salt was added but was later informed that the saltiness came from the cucumber.

Grey's Orchard has orange juice in it, hence it reminded me of brunch. The earl grey flavour was too mild to be detected.

Thanks to PY, I found out that there are seasonal appetisers and one could enquire for it. For example, the amberjack carpaccio.

Wow, after having a plate of this, I'd be returning for more. For sashimi and truffle lovers.
There is a rooftop bar at Level 10 of Naumi Hotel and staff at Florian does a good job recommending it to guests.
Unwind with a couple more drinks, pool view and our cityscape's night lights.

It was fun checking out the place, and nice getting to know Shermaine, PY and friendly Chef (sorry, didn't get your name though).
