With eat well, feel better concept, let me share with you the dishes we tried that night.
Escape to Kaifeng S$22.00++
We kick start with the cocktail inspired by the flower of Kaifeng city made of house-made oriental chrysanthemum cordial and herbal Tangueray Gin. It was a potent drink as I can feel the kick aftermath.
Chilled Organic Vine-ripened Tomatoes S$8.00++
Moving on is the appertizer- juicy and refreshing tomatoes infused with “Li Hing” plum and Farm Delight micro herbs. The tomatoes are peeled and soaked for 3 days to achieve the bursting flavours.
Seared Pork Cheek S$12.00++
Seared pork cheek served with cumin,chilli and topped with green mango salad that tasted like satay. That was our first reaction when we took the first bite.
Chicken Soup S$12.00++
Chicken soup served with shimeji-stuffed tomatoes. It was concentrated broth and comforting soup.
Hot & Sour Soup S$12.00++
My foodie friend opt for hot and sour soup, which tasted mildly spicy. The broth is made from housemade hot bean paste and served with shredded chicken, wood ear mushrooms and enoki. Aromatic Sichuan chilli oil is added into it as well.
Roast Duck S$32.00++ (Half)
My favourite dish of all is this Roast Duck fermented with bean curd marinade. Then the duck is made to rest for 2 days before roasting. What amazed me is the crunchy and tangy skin and yet the duck meat tasted tender.
Wok-seared Organic Grass-Fed Beef Tenderloin S$36.00++
Beef cubes are prepared with crushed Tellicherry peppercorns, honey along with the crispy garlic and Himalayan salt. The wok-seared beef is cooked in medium-rare finish to achieve optimal for great taste and texture.
Braised White Cabbage S$12.00++
The well-braised cabbage soaked with flavoursome chicken essence, conpoy and Shaoxing wine.
Braised Sweet & Sour Eggplant S$14.00++
Highly recommend dish to pair it with a bowl of white rice. The soya sauce is made from scratch and mixtures of assorted mushrooms are flavourful. And the best part is that the eggplant is a potent antioxidant that is good for health too.
Steamed Kuhlbarra Barramundi S$22.00++
Steamed fresh barramundi served with scallion-ginger pesto on top. Chef uses fish stock, fish bones and trimmings to steam the fish. Thus, this explains the flavoursome and sweetness taste of the fish. However, I personally feel that the price is bit steep with the portion served.
Stir-fried Mee Sua S$18.00++
Tasty stir-fried mee sua cooked with prawn and Hokkaido scallops.
Lemongrass & Calamansi Jelly S$8.00++
ssert made with fresh fruits and calamansi jelly to end the sweet note of the night.
I had a pleasant dinning experience with fellow foodies. I also gained insight on the restaurant’s direction to work towards balanced living and healthy eating. The restaurant also caters vegan dishes or accommodates specific dietary requirements. The foods here are priced slightly higher than typical Chinese restaurant. However, in line with Eat With Six Senses philosophy, the unhealthy additives such as flavour enhancers, lactose, gluten and sugars are largely avoided in favour of fresh, natural ingredients. Thus, this explains the cost of the ingredients, which plays a part on the pricing.
