Chasing Fins 🐟

Despite its name, this catfish felt more seared than traditionally grilled. The catfish had a nice crisp on the outside while staying tender and flaky inside. The dill sauce brought a tangy, creamy flavour that paired well but there just wasn’t enough of it. By the second half, things started to dry out a bit. More sauce would’ve made a big difference.

The mushroom rice was as fragrant as ever and the herb potatoes had that perfect crispy-soft combo. Overall, a good meal but next time, I’m definitely doubling up on the sauce 》$7.90

Served with beurre blanc sauce made from razor clams and sake lees.

The cod was rich and buttery 🤤 with the creamy sauce and wine adding complexity to this dish.

Pan-seared salmon, bouillabaisse foam, glazed vegetables, mash potatoes

The salmon is cooked just right, not overcooked and dry. The flavours go well together and the bouillabaisse foam combined with miso adds more flavours to the dish. The mash potato was creamy too 》$21

The Atlantic cod is pan-seared till flaky, tender yet delectably moist and goes well with the flavourful tomato dashi. The charred fennel has a crunchy texture with a taste that I find difficult to accept.

This was the main dish from their 3 Course Executive Lunch Set which comprises a raw bar plated buffet appetizer selection, choice of main course and dessert 》$55

Onion rings & parmesan asparagus 》$18.50

I like how this place would ask how I would like my salmon steak to be done where most places wouldn't ask and it ends up well done with dryness. I requested to have mine cooked to medium rare and it came out perfect - juicy, succulent and melts in your mouth. Served with fresh lemon and dill herb cream sauce.

The salmon is relatively cooked outside but still juicy and moist inside. It has a perfectly rendered crispy skin with a thin layer of flaky meat underneath, followed by a wide expanse of tender juicy flesh and a central core with a little translucency that looks like sashimi.

Each grill item comes with 2 complements which you can get to choose from country baked beans, onion rings, buttered corn kernel, cream broccoli, baked olive rice, baked potato, fries, mac & cheese, mashed potato, apple & nut salad  cream spinach, cinnamon pumpkin  sautéed Brussels  cauliflower cheese, coleslaw salad, spinach & sesame salad, chopped green salad, crunchy potato salad, parmesan asparagus or garlic butter eggplant.

Shellfish Fregola

with roasted baby potatoes, mixed sweet peppers compote and balsamic glaze.

The slab of salmon was seared to perfection, keeping it tender and moist with a crackling crispy skin. Simple, healthy and oh, so good!

Served with baked potato & Hollandaise sauce 》$21

Fresh and cooked white fish with salted egg, greens, sesame and dried corn (my guess) that resembles popcorn. This dish is refreshing with hints of sourness from the vinegary sauce used. I also liked those little brown seeds that look and taste like dried corn. It adds a crunchy texture to the dish.

This was a replacement for the warmed baby squid which we wanted to order but it was unavailable on the day we visited.

Pan seared, beer malt risotto, dill, daikon 》$33

The seabass was pan seared with a crispy texture on the skin while the risotto is slightly different with the use of beer malt. It has a dry and husky texture which feels like some healthy grains. The sauce was creamy and slightly cheesy. Quite a nice dish but I got tired of chewing risotto after a while.
