Thank
you HungryGoWhere and Marketing Team of Hotel Re! for the invites to
the food tasting session.
Re!Fill
is Hotel Re!'s dedicated restaurant, helm by Chef William Ang with
more than 38 years culinary experience in the F&B industry. His
achievements including cooking for His Excellency, President S.R.
Nathan and his distinguish guests and organiser & participants of
several record breaking F&B events in Singapore. The décor of
the place is bright, retro with pink colour wall paper.
In
April 2013, Re!Fill Re!Launch a Re!Fresh and Re!Juvenate menu to
better serve the hotel guests, patrons and regular customers of
Re!Fill. Spoilt with more than 80 items on the menu, combining local
and international cuisine to delight the palate to the Re!Fill
customers.
So
when there are so many items on the menu, I will normally go for the
jugular, the items in Chef's special . For starter, we had Pan-Seared
Duck Breast Mesclun (small salad leaves) Salad with Walnut and Mango
in roasted sesame dressing. This item has been a permanent resident
of Re!Fill menu, it is light, refreshing and perfect for the palate.
The duck breast is moist and tender, and the Japanese influence
sesame dressing really binds all the salad components and give you
the WOW and Yummy taste. This is a definite must try here!!!

Hotel Re! Signature
Abalone Seafood Laksa follow next. The laksa base is rich with a nice
balance of the spices, spiciness and lemak (coconut milk). Other than
abalone, you also get scallop and prawns with the regular laksa
ingredients such as fish cakes, tau pok (fried bean curd), boiled egg
and rice noodle. Well executed with the abalone and scallop bringing
the luxury feels. It is comparable to any “Five Stars priced
Laksa”.

Waffle with vanilla ice
cream. The heart shape waffle is light and thin with generous serving
of maple syrup and ice cream. The portion of this dessert is ideal
for a sweet way to end the meal.

What about the rest of
the item in the menu. I personally feel it need some refining to
reach the necessary standards. Such as Boston Clam Chowder soup.
Creamy but clearly lack in its distinct taste of clams, can be
mistaken for potato soup.

Assorted Satay
“Esplanade” - skewers of chicken, mutton and beef served with
peanut sauce. The peanut sauce is rich and tasty, but the satays are
dry, tough and lack of marinate. The mutton and beef has a strong
gamy taste that can put you off. For a country, like Singapore, with
reputation that serves good satay, it might actually deters tourists
on how a nice satay should taste.

Munchy Combi &
Chicken Wings, deep fried calamari, chicken wing, breaded prawn and
potato wedges, served with coleslaw. More like a bar food with a nice
presentation, served pipping hot but taste ordinary. The chicken
wings are juicy, but small in size. The calamari batter was very
thick. Overall tasted quite average.

Overall, the food
presentation was great. When a restaurant has more than 80 items on
the menu, there will be some hits and misses. The most notable is
that all the items we ordered are from the Chef's Special, you would
expect better taste and quality food to give satisfy the customers
taste-buds. Cheers!!
