First things first, I'm no gourmet, and usually I eat out at mainstream eateries ($20-$30 meals). After reading the reviews, I was quite prepared NOT to like the place, and quite sure it was going to be a pretentious affair.

BUT.....IT WAS REALLY GOOD LEI.

There were 6 of us, so we ordered quite a variety, and us being us, we of course must try everybody's food. So the forks were flying all over the place. (And no, no one gave us any disapproving looks)

We had for entrees: (this is based on memory, so I would have omitted some)

Tau Kwa Tower - overrated in my opinion. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking.

Wagyu Beef Carpaccio - it came with a black sesame-ish sauce, and it was fabulous. It was melt-in-your-mouth, and the sauce was really interesting.

King Crab Salad with Plum - OK, the crab was fresh, and the plum was a bit tart, and I never had this combi together anyway, so everything was eye-opening.

For mains,

I had the herb-crusted seabass with a coriander-ish sauce. 2 of us had steaks (one of them was the Angus steak), 1 of us had Cod, another had the Pasta with Ragu sauce and my vegetarian friend had the Blood Orange Risotto with Saffron (or something like that). Everything was good. Except maybe for the pasta with ragu sauce, which was part of the set dinner (now $40++), which was a bit...common.

Dessert-wise, we tried everything on the menu except for cheese. I found the portions for dessert all a little small for my liking, we had the organic dark chocolate flourless cake, the icecream in orange and milo flavour, some almond cake, and a sticky date pudding. The Sticky date pudding was the best of the lot.

Overall we had a great time, the bill was not a pretty sight (we had a bottle of wine too), but for special occasions, I'd say, it's a nice option.
