OFFICIALLY SEVENTEEN


Hello there,welcome back! 

I celebrated my birthday this year in the Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora! It's a really special place where we dine in front of a huge aquarium filled with marine animals! The ambiance is nice, great food and awesome company! I'll share and review about the food we had in a while! ^^


My parents ordered the 6 course set dinner [$168] while my siblings and I ordered the 4 course set [$118]. They do sell all the food individually as well, but ordering the set makes it more worth it! 


A welfie before the food arrives~

Kuehpieti with Lobster Bisque
This is a complimentary dish specially created by the chef. Fusion dish which combines both Peranakan and french cuisine! Crispy shell, creamy soup with bits of lobster meat in it, yumm!


 42 °C Sous Vide Salmon [$28]
Consisting of salmon tartare, citrus minestrone, ikura and fennel!

 Chilled Watermelon & Tomato Gazpacho [$24]
Smoked Hokkaido scallop is of a nice texture with the watermelon sorbet giving it a refreshing twist! 

 Crispy Duck Foie Gras [$28]
Oh gosh, melt in your mouth foie gras with the crispy brick pastry, PERFECTION!!

 Smoked Eel [$28]
Sunchoke texture with duck foie gras terrine, taste like canned tuna... Nahh~~ Plus i still can't figure out what is that white thingy at the bottom!

 Rougie Duck Breast [$55]
As it's not fully cooked, the texture is really chewy. My brother said he took a long time just to eat one small piece of meat, HAHA not for weak! The yuzu-sweet potato puree taste weird to me too~ 

Crispy Skin Barramundi [$52]
Just a piece of very dry sea bass with green pepper broth. Do not recommend you to order this when you're there! Plus you will be eating the cousins of the fishes in front of them!! O.o

 Beef Wagyu Ribeye MS6 [$118]
Rare cooked beef, the perfect doneness! Seared with still 75% red through the centre, resulting in a tender and juicy meat! Many do not dare to try rare beef, but its actually the best doneness for a good piece of steak! Paired with parmesan mash, mushroom duxcele and smoked onion puree, IT'S SO GOOD!! The brown powder there is cep "soil" which I have absolutely no idea what that is.

 Green & Red [$24]
Don't waste your money eating french toast there! I can even make a tastier one at home. :/ The strawberry sorbet isn't good either~

Mont Blanc [$20]
Now this is what you called dessert!! Brandy, chestnut paste, hazelnut meringue with vanilla bean ice-cream, this is the best mont blanc i ever had!! Not too sweet yet still a nice treat for dessert! The piece at the bottom had a texture tart but taste like a cake! I LOVE IT OMG!! I even ate half of my sister's potion cuz she's too full already! <333333


There is still a Lobster Dumpling & Croquette and Citrus Refresh included in my parent's set dinner but i didn't manage to snap a photo of them!


And because its my birthday, they gave us a complimentary cake!! Doesn't taste good but must take cuz free marh~ *So Singaporean* 


We also brought our own cake actually! HAHA Cuz my mum say if don't have birthday cake don't look like birthday celebration, so we got a small one! Note that no outside food is allowed to be consumed inside the restaurant, so we just took it out for photo taking~ hehe


As usual, all atas restaurant has dim lighting, thus, photos taken were quite grainy!






Another family photo with the gorgeous background!


Come my blog of course must have my selfie right? So heres one! HAHA BHB LEVEL MAX


Overall, they serves really delicious food with great ambiance. Cost wise, it's quite overprice! But they spend so much money to built the tank, buy the fishes, so need cover cost marh! HAHA You should come and experience if you are having any special occasion! Definitely a great experience that would last a lifetime. :')
