I must say this is a surprise dinner for me with some of our makan kakis....and yes...we have two special guests, and it's a pleasure meeting them !

I was alittle lost finding my way there even though it's Cairnhill. I never expected a nice cozy restaurant to be there in the first place...

But thanks to my good old fren from HGW....who even volunteered to wait for me at the main entrance....I must say this is really a "hidden jewel"....and thanks my friend for guiding me earlier : )

Besides being hidden...I must say I was floored by the cozy ambience.... as this establishment is pretty new....I'm surprised there are quite a fair bit of crowd on a weekday.....especially quite a good ratio of foreigners !

The selection of food is pretty decent as well....and what stands out being...you are able to choose your own side dishes and pair them the way you like. Kudos to Kumar and his team for making this a option unlike other restaurants just plonked down some veg etc that turns you off if they are not your cup of tea...

For starter, I ordered the mushroom soup and shrimp cocktail. The soup is rich and tasty....one that spells of quality....decent portion without filling u up to the brim. Next, the shrimp cocktail...hmm....first thing I noted the prawns were fresh as well as the greens....decently good but not over the top...

For main course, I ordered the king prawns with blue basil pesto sauce, and side dishes being broccoli and roasted baby potatoes. This dish is a winner...and the combo is really a winner. I personally suggest for first timers there, they should give this dish a shot....a safe bet IMHO.

And to end the wonderful dinner, I had the strawberry gelato and a cafe latte....and yes...I'll be back soon.

Thanks Kumar.... for a wonderful evening : )
