I swear I only ordered the Teys Riverine ribeye. But then, out walked Chef Shaun bearing this massive wooden board. On it was not just my steak and my friend's order of an AACo ribeye but a complimentary piece of Black Angus too; each weighing in at 200gms. Lined up along one side of the board was an eye-popping myriad of condiments that included a new truffle paste, The Betterfield's signature truffled mayo and assorted salts of the exotic type. As per his usual style, Chef Shaun briskly did his "fire-blasting" final touch to the meats at the table. After that, there was no stopping our attack.
I was really happy to have had this opportunity to taste all three types of beef at one go. It was a great way to learn how to tell the subtle differences between each kind and also to discover my favourite. As it turns out, the Black Angus with its pronounced "beefy" flavour appealed the most to me. Coming in at second place was the Teys Riverine and finally, the AACo. The reason I ranked the latter last is because it was the mildest tasting in my opinion. Which means it would suit those of you who don't like meats with a strong flavour. Having said that, I must declare their differences were minute and only by alternating between bites of each beef could I discern them, and even then, it took a lot of concentration. Interestingly, my friend had a different opinion. He ranked the Teys Riverine as number one, followed by the AACo and then, the Black Angus. It just goes to show how we all have different tastes! 😄
FYI: The Betterfield will be moving out of their present location around the middle of April. So if you want to savour some seriously good value steaks, or dig into one of their fabulous risottos, do make time to go very soon.
Classic duck confit prepared with finess and finely plated. Crispy duck with soft meat make for a great combi in the mouth. 5/5
The signature Saveur Pasta. Al Dente pasta well seasoned and garnished with yummy shrimps, this dish is a staple in the Saveur line of restaurants. 4/5
Super crispy duck with yummy soft meat with no 'bird' smell! Delicious and a must try when in Bali! 4/5
Lovely delicious Salted Egg (Molten) Croissants!! Perfect afternoon treat for break time!!! MUST TRY!!! 5/5
Their Set Lunch (opening special at $13) includes a main, side and a drink. Had the Beef Pho, Lemongrass Pork Banh Mi with fish cakes and their fresh rolls. Pretty decent I would say, flavourful broth and melt in mouth pork!
Incidentally, my first Banh Mi, pretty good I feel, would try more next time!
Lovely consistency of good old gooey porridge makes the additional ingredients like century egg and lean meat ever more delicious! Comfort food I would say! 4/5
It's my first time having Omakse at this lovely Japanese restaurant as well as trying squid (mini ones) raw but the special grated Yuzu sauce jus made it all so refreshing and I've been thinking abt this dish ever since...loved it!! Super duper yum!! 6/5 😇
Delicious and well braised beef cheeks. This is not a regular dish on the menu but rather the "Catch of the Day". Accompanying sauce was a tad sweet but it gave the dish more dimension and complete. Very worth the price of it! 4/5
Pretty decent pasta cooked Al Dente with a well seasoned Saffron cream sauce. Seafood portions were fair for the price but overall quality was good. 4/5
Simple Spaghetti Arrabiata with Al Dente pasta. Arrabbiata sauce was slightly spicy but could do with more spice. Overall 3/5
Super yummy on-the-spot made Ice Cream (frozen with Nitrogen). Tried their house specials: Thai Coconut + Avacado & Gula Melaka LOVED IT!! 5/5 Must Try!!
