In general, we thought the food was competent, not particularly impressive but not bad either. Started off with <strong>lobster bisque with cognac<\/strong> which was thick and sweet. The <strong>seared foie gras<\/strong> ($28) was ample and sat on a bed of roasted orange, drizzled with cointreau, on toast. Quite a smart combination but the foie gras was a tad overcooked and hence, a little tough.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"20708\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/zh\/2013\/06\/05\/masons-singapore\/img_3542\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/img_3542.jpg?fit=4272%2C2848&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4272,2848\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 1100D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1369771984&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;34&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.04&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Masons Singapore &amp;#8211; Wagyu\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/img_3542.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20708\" alt=\"Masons Singapore - Wagyu\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/img_3542.jpg?resize=388%2C258\" width=\"388\" height=\"258\" \/><br \/>\nThe <strong>wagyu fillet<\/strong> (250g, $90) was tender and chewy but the red wine jus might be too cloy after a few bites.
