While
waiting for all the “Makan Kakis” to assemble, I ordered Coconut Mint Cooler
($8). Served on an aluminium pot that traditionally used to heat milk. This
thirst-quenching and refreshing drink is concocted from coconut water, lime
juice, honey water and fresh mint leave. It is a perfect drink to rehydrate my
body from extreme heat outdoor.

We
started the tasting with Fresh Shucked Oyster from Taylor Shellfish Farms (USA).
The oysters are plump, sweet and juicy. I had them with a little squeeze of
lemon juice and it is just refreshing. #Oysterporn. The oyster is priced at
$2++ a pop, with a purchase of drinks, all week between 12 to 9PM. Maximum
purchase is 6 oysters per drink per pax. (Regular price $21.90 for half dozen).

Beef
Carpaccio ($15). Thinly-sliced Beef Tenderloin with watercress and Yuzu Wasabi
emulsion. As the beef is sliced thinly, you can only taste the texture instead
of any beef flavour. The watercress and yuzu wasabi emulsion are refreshing and
bringing Japanese influence to this dish.

Indomie
Goreng Fries ($12, $17). S&D inspired of the Indonesian national dish.
Thick-cut fries tossed with house blend of Indomie-inspired powder and chilli
powder, mixed with Kecap Manis and Topped with Fried Egg. I must applaud
S&D for their creativity; however, the flavour is too quirky for me. The
sauce is sticky, while the seasoning did not absorb well into the fries. The
fried egg is so out of place in this dish.

Instead of Indomie Goreng
Fries, the Okonomiyaki Sweet Potato Fries ($13, $18) got my two thumbs up. The
combination of sweet potato with savoury netsuke sauce is just addictive. Throw
in the Japanese mayo, bonito flakes, furikake and scallions, I have to stop
myself from eating to much in anticipation of other dishes. A perfect snack.

Peach and Parma Ham Crostini
($14). Traditional Italian appetizer that will make you go WOW. The combination
of sweet and savoury, thinly-sliced Parma Ham with grilled peach, on top of
mascarpone cheese and garlic crostini is just delicious. The balsamic sauce
helps to balance the sweet and savoury, so all the flavours are in tune. Yum
Yum.
Peach and Parma Ham Crostini |
Baked Brie ($17). Oven-baked
melted brie cheese, drizzled with honey, rosemary almond flakes and crumble,
served with flatbread. The soft, mild and creamy brie mixed with the sweetness
of the honey, making it a beautiful spread for the flatbread. You can actually
have this for entrée or even for dessert.

Prosciutto E Funghi ($16,
$21). Parmesan cheese-infused cream sauce with mushrooms, sautéed Parma ham and
bacon. This al-dente spaghetti is not shy in flavour. The bacon, parmesan
cheese and mushroom, infused its salty and umami flavour into the cream sauce
and pasta. The best part is the crispy Parma ham on top that is so
irresistible. Yummy.

Nero De Seppia with Seared
Scallops ($19, $29). S&D version of squid ink pasta. Though it is cooked
with wine, butter and homemade broth, it does not penetrate into the pasta. I
feel the pasta lacking the OMPH factor. It can do with more cheese, mini prawns
or a dollop of squid ink.

For
the pizza, Avocado E Pesto ($25, $29) is the vegetarian pizza in S&D. The
crispy crust is accompanied by a generous topping of rucola, avocado, oregano
and mozzarella. The pesto sauce and garlic cream sauce bind the toppings nicely
from the base. It does not even enter my mind that this pizza is vegetarian.

Seared
Beef with Pear Pizza ($25, $29). The tomato sauce with 4 types of cheese (mozzarella,
gorgonzola, taleggio and raclette) made a promising base for the pizza. The
seared beef is tender and juicy; however, it seems to be disconnected with the
pizza. Maybe S&D can consider using melted raclette cheese to pour on top
of the pizza to bind all the toppings together or removing the sweetness from
the honey.

The décor of the restaurant
is just wonderful. It blended the design of a library, with the greenery from
the plants and lots of natural light. The atmosphere is so comfortable,
together with live music, I can stay here for hours.

Overall, there is a lot of
things to like in S&D new menu. My picks are the oysters, peach and parma
ham crostini, baked brie, prosciutto e funghi pasta and the avocado e pesto
pizza. Not forgetting the coconut mint cooler. I’ll definitely be back for
more. Cheers!!
