Eating to my heart's content

There is a newly-opened shopping mall near my eldest sister's working place - Iluma. On the 4th storey there are lots of eating places, and we found this roof-top dining place which was featured in a magazine and decided to try it out. The name of the place is Bounce Restaurant : Chef Daniel's Kitchen.

The overall ambience of the place is cosy and warm, but the waitresses, although polite, need some more training on familiarity with the dishes. There were three of us dining together, so we selected a 'Symphony of Trio', where we could combine three soups. We had, from the left :

a) 'Six Sense' - six mushrooms soup with sage and dash of cream
b) 'Orange Sunset' - mint and orange soup with fish medallion, prawn and mussel
c) 'Boston Clam Chowder' - Old England style clam chowder.

The best one among the three, in our humble opinions, was (a)

This is my friend's Linguine Alfredo ( but cooked in Aglio Olio style). It is served with grilled king prawns. It was tasty, according to the diner...haha...

This is 'Olio Alio', stir-fried pasta with garlic, chilli flakes, olive oil, and served with shaved Parmesan. This was, without doubt, the blemish of the night. All of us agreed that it was tasteless and doesn't even look good to begin with. The poor girl who ordered this did not even care to finish.

This my Black Cod Casino! Don't ask my why, i'm not sure what gambling has to do with this dish. It is gratin of black cod fillet with spicy mayo and steamed clam in white wine. The clams were divine and the black cod fillet very fresh indeed. The greens that were used as the cushion for the codfish were crunchy and yummy. I am still wondering what vegetable it was, it didn't seem familiar to me at all.

To top it all, we had 'Granny Tiramisu' for dessert, shared by three. Adorable presentation, the tiramisu came in what looked like a retro chair....heeehee...

I also ventured to Geylang recently to try its very famous beef kway teow!

Actually, not very nice leh.... the beef was too starchy and there were too much garlic for my liking. My dining companion licked the plate clean, though.... hmmm....

This oyster omelette that we ordered from the opposite shop passed with flying colours though! It came in a hot plate and had so many colours in it, it made my head spin. It was very delicious, though. I would go back to Geylang for this, but not for the beef kway teow...
