Quentin's Eurasian Restaurant

I organised a dinner at Quentin's paired with the wines from the FULLER 88 series and both the food and the wines had the unanimous vote from all the guests including a friend of mine who is a Peranakan Chef.

For the occassion, Chef Quentin Pereira specially acceded to my request and made Babi Feng (pork & assorted pork viscera) which was good and brought back childhood memories of time gone by dining at the homes of my Eurasian friends.  The main dish was of course the Chicken Curry Devil (including Bacon Bones) which was delicious and spicy. Other items of note were the Singang Serani (Fish), Beef Smoree (stew) and the Meaty Cutlets (Corned Beef and Potato) all of which were very good.

The restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining and the ambience is very quiet and soothing.

Great value must be said for the Sunday Brunch Buffet which feature a big feast of favourite Eurasian dishes for just $18++ per person.  If you have never tried authentic Eurasian cuisine, the buffet is a great way to be introduced to this heritage ethnic cuisine.

 

Dinner at this charming place was pretty decent. We ordered the Chicken Curry Devil ($16.80), Fried Ocra ($7) and Curry Moolie with Prawns ($13.80). The Chicken Curry Devil is a mix of cocktail sausages, chicken, mix of cabbage and assorted veg in a red sourish curry sauce. The Curry Moolie dish contained brinjal and prawns cooked in a lemak sauce. There is a choice of prawns and mackarel. The curries are actually not that spicy. The Ocra was bascially lady's fingers stir-fried with some indian spices but it was lovely!!! Great dishes to go with piping hot rice. I really enjoyed the Ocra and the Curry Moolie. Was unfortunately too stuffed for desserts thereafter.

The menu has a wide selection of appetizers and western stuff such as Chicken Wings, Shepard's Pie, Calamari, etc. Serivce was decent though I have to say the food took quite a while to come... but then again they've already "excused" themselves on the main page of their menu by indicating that food ordered are freshly prepared and would take 15-20mins, and fish keropok is complimentary while you wait.

An overall enjoyable dining experience! Will make room for the Sugee Cake and Bubur Terigu next round.
