It was my first time here & I was impressed by the ambiance. It’s a nice place to go on a date… Then again, I expect no less, it being located inside the lovely InterContinental Singapore.

I had the Hand-cut Wagyu Beef Burger ($39++) with the patty done medium rare; chowed down on it & enjoyed it from start to finish. It wasn’t soggy at the end, & the bun remained quite fluffy & soft. The caramelised onions gave this a balanced sweetness, & in all this is a well-rounded burger.

Served with a side of thick-cut fries which were okay (average lah), & a side of coleslaw which was too acidic.. I didn’t enjoy that nor finish it. & I rarely don’t finish food. The star of the show, rightfully, is the burger!

I nibbled on my friend’s Black Cod Fillet À La Plancha ($48++) out of curiosity, & of course politeness cos she asked I wanted to 😂 The texture of the fish was on point, but it was a little too salty for both our liking. I would’ve expected more from it at this price point, especially since its one of the Chef’s Specialties. But the saffron pearl couscous was lovely.

Let’s just say I’m glad I dined here with a 50% off discount thanks to Chope. I’d say give this one a miss, unless they can fix the saltiness. Because the texture is awesome, as a nicely done cod should be.

Sautéed Mushrooms ($10++) weren’t eligible for the half-off discount, but this was a great add on. Loved how juicy these were!

Lastly (though served at the start not end of one’s meal), this isn’t going to be a deal breaker for most diners.. But their bread here isn’t fabulous. I usually wipe the bread bowls clean, but not this time. Perhaps it’s just not to my liking – I like full thiccc carby bread, not so much flatbread crackers. Probably boils down to personal preference.
