Friend of mine was lucky enough to secure a booking and were quite excited to see what the hype is all about.First, a word about service...I know the restaurant is relatively new but logistics was really sub-standard. Upon providing my reservation details, the staff explained to me that since I am actually considered a "walk-ins" (by virtue of them having lost my reservation details) I would have to wait for table...Once seated, I moved on and studied the menu which looked interesting enough. The burger I ordered arrived looking presentable, although I was rather disappointed upon tasting it. For close to $200 a burger, quality of meat used was pretty poor. Also it did not help that they overcooked the meat.The polenta chips were pretty but were served to me cold. Not the most appetising.Service, logistics and perhaps even quality of cooking I believe may be improve with time, but probably not the quality of food if the restaurant skimps on quality of materials. Not sure I can be convinced to come back another time. …查看更多
In search of a nice lunchspot other than the usual suspects in Central/Admiralty and thought I would give this a try after reading some good reviews.I am usually fairly hard to please, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality at Akrame (didn't realise it was a Michelin until afterwards).They do a surprise menu, so you can only choose whether you would like a 3-course (fish or meat main) or 4-course (fish and meat) meal. I went for the 3-course (meat).The mouche bouche was a little disappointing (both aesthestically and portion-wise). Starter was a decent caviar, radish soup. Nice kick in terms of taste despite how thin the soup base was. Hats-off to the chef who came out to pour the soup!Was still not quite convinced after the starter, but they got me as soon as I cut into the duck breast in the main course. The duck breast was soft, succulent, and cooked to perfection. The taste of the turnips on the side were a little overwhelming for me but some may find it refreshing to balance duck.The potato mousse was light and fluffy. Well-made.I was just about to wonder whether I needed to grab a burger to fill my stomach after the "fine-dining" meal when the real surprise came. Two sets of deserts that were perfectly made and balanced. Not to mention the final complimentary chocolates to complete the meal. I walked out of the restaurant not fully satisfied, physically and mentally.Dear chef, you've got me. Would definitely come again.…查看更多
