The Royal Mail Restaurant & Bar has been driven by a desire to deliver exquisite dishes with quality and creativity, and its conviction to continuously outdo itself culminated in their revamped menu.
Scallop Carpaccio and Tuna (S$26)
I loved the colourful presentation and the fact that the scallops were left uncooked for us to enjoy its freshness and natural sweetness.
Trio of Tomatoes (S$18)
More could have been done to make this dish satisfactory.
Seafood Bouillabaisse (S$28)
The stew was bursting with all the seafood goodness! The snapper, mussels and langoustine (which is not a prawn, but a lobster!) went really well together and definitely kept me delightfully chewing. A must-order!
Honey Glazed Kurobuta Pork (S$56)
The apple butter sauce sure did a marvelous job in adding the right touch of sweetness to the savoury pork. I did wish that the pork was a little more tender and fatty though. Delicious nonetheless.
Porcini & Bacon Risotto (S$32)
I liked that it was light and only moderately cheesy to give my taste buds a short break from all the savoury action.
Miso Black Cod (S$42)
Another highlight dish of the night. The cod itself was amazing, but it was the distinct textures of the different elements that made me kept wanting more! Definitely worth a try.
Japanese Yellow Sea Bream (S$78)
It was a pleasant dish overall but I felt that the fish was too reliant on the garlic and sauce for flavour.
A Dessert Platter (S$32)
I guess that it will be good to sample different dessert flavours but I personally thought that this dish was a tad redundant.
Peanut Butter Jelly (S$18)
A very clever and unique twist to a beloved snack. I liked that the peanut butter was subtle, paving way for the flavours of the chocolate and cranberry to stand out as well.
Sticky Date Pudding (S$18)
I got a pleasant surprise when I dug into this dessert and realising that it was not a lava cake! A pretty good dessert dish in terms of its taste.
Eton Mess (S$18)
All the elements were of the right proportion. It felt like I was having a yummy bowl of breakfast cereal!
Enhanced Bergamot Earl Grey Jelly (S$18)
A refreshing dessert to cleanse our palates. The jelly went well with the frozen yoghurt and berries to give a tangy finish.
I had a pleasant dining experience with the innovative new menu and the laughs and chatter with my friends. The service crew was very attentive to our needs and the ambience was pretty classy. It was a good thing that I went to the event after work cause they do have a strict formal dress code. Haha!
