Last Sunday Mr Guan and I had the luxury to enjoy brunch together so I picked Il Lido, an Italian brunch at Sentosa Golf Club. The weather was very kind to us as the sky was bright and sunny. We were even so lucky to spot an eagle soaring in the sky. If I could pause time, it would have been that moment.
Outfit of the day: Jacket: Esprit, Short: Zara; BF Tshirt: ASOS
Shoe: Roberto Cavalli
Clutch: Miu Miu
Bracelet: Hermes Kelly Dog
Foamy mushroom creamy palate cleanser. Bits of mushroom pieces in every bite, mushroom taste was strong, yummy!
For my starter I chose lobster bisque as I didn’t want to have foie gras (additional $10). I didn’t enjoy the soup which I felt tasted watered down with not a single piece of small lobster meat. =(
Mr Guan with his foie gras, happy initially but not that happy after tasting it. It was decent but not delicious.
Next came the crab pasta which I literally gobble up!! The pasta is cooked al dente and the bits of crabmeat and the fresh tomatoes blended so well with the pasta. I will visit again and order this pasta as my main!
For our mains we both ordered the same beef tenderloin. The beef was really tender and succulent – surely one of the better beef I have tested.
The brunch set is $58++ per pax. You only have a choice of the starter and mains, while the rest of the items are fixed. We ordered 2 glasses of Sangiovese red wine at $16 each to go with our tenderloin main.
Dessert was a standard Chocolate Lava cake. I didn’t finish it as the chocolate filling was too thick that it didn’t ooze out the way it should. But that didn’t spoil the meal as I was so satisfied with the pasta dish.
To sum up the whole experience, this is definitely a place that I will come back again even though there was a waiter that I didn’t like. He dropped the fork on the table and even dripped water on the table cloth and wasn’t very friendly to us. But I will return.
Verdict 4/5
