Chinois by Susur Lee

This happened a couple of months ago but since i just reviewed Palio, I thought I should also share my experience at the other RWS restaurant I patronised. A group of us were supposed to go catch Voyage De La Vie (which was quite a visual feast) at RWS and we thought we should live it up and enjoy a nice meal before the show. We settled on Chinois (by celebrity chef Susur Lee partnered Tung Lok Group).

Where is it?
It is located in Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). More specifically, it is located within Hotel Michael of RWS, next to Palio.



What we had
Its fine dining so I accepted that the portions wouldn't be that generous but to make sure it was worth our while, we settled on a special set menu they had which I thought would be appropriate for the 10 of us. The menu included;

a. 脆炸软壳蟹伴芥末猴头菇 (Crisp-fried Soft Shell Crab with Wasabi-mayo Monkey Head Mushrooms)

b. 时日精选炖汤 (Double-boiled Nourishing Soup of the Day)

c. 豉味蒸带子豆腐 (Steamed Beancurd and Scallop with Fermented Bean Paste)

d. 辣子蟹汁炸顺壳鱼 (Crisp-fried Marble Goby Fish with Singapore style Chilli Crab Sauce)

e. 菠萝京酱烤骨排 (Roasted Pork Ribs with Pineapple Sauce)

f. 瑶柱扒酿节瓜莆 (Steamed Hairy Gourd stuffed with Conpoy)

g. 生虾蛋白蒸面线 (Steamed Mee Sua with Egg White and Live Prawns)

h. 桂花鲜果冻 (Assorted Fruit Gelo with Osmanthus Flower)

Price we paid
It was about S$75 per head (nett) so the damage came up to $750

Was it good?
True to form, the way the food was presented was visually very pleasing, and some of the dishes, like the Crisp-fried Marble Goby Fish with Singapore style Chilli Crab Sauce blew us away with how a traditional dish was given a Singapore Twist. The Pork Ribs was tender and well prepared while the ladies were absolutely enchanted by how pretty the dessert was (Assorted Fruit Gelo with Osmanthus Flower)

It was certainly a pleasant experience and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't one that I would consider unforgettable.
