\"lewinFormer head chef at the celebrated Au Bec Fin in Kyoto, and Bibbi in Kobe, Chef Ryoichi Kano<\/strong> presents a Japanese version of French cuisine<\/strong>, that is to say, this is what French food would taste like in Japan. The 6-course\u00a0Christmas menu<\/strong> ($148++) features fresh seasonal ingredients from Hokkaido. Mr Daisuke Kawai<\/strong> is an award-winning sommelier who can advise you on wine pairing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"lewinThe course began with a stunning\u00a0hassun<\/em><\/strong> or a “variety of flavors”: crabmeat in yuzu; squid with cauliflower puree; Hokkaido potato veloute with caviar; sea urchin on seaweed jelly; ikura soba tea rice sushi; and my favorite, mackerel on soba tea rice. Everything on this plate was delicious, one better than the next, raising my expectation for the meal.<\/span>\"lewin<\/p>\n

The next course,\u00a0Hokkaido scallop,<\/strong> was lonely–two more scallops would be nice–but it arrived\u00a0flaming, sizzling, and spectacular. In a butter dashi sauce, the scallop gave an umami bliss when eaten together with spinach and mushroom.<\/span>\"lewin<\/p>\n

\"lewinLike the scallop, the\u00a0sauteed Kinki fish<\/strong> (above) and\u00a0Joshu Wagyu steak\u00a0<\/strong>(below) were too little. A complete piece of steak would be nice. The grade A4 steak came with hide-and-seek foie gras hidden under brussel sprouts–very\u00a0mischievous. The steak was\u00a0seasoned with sansho pepper, giving it a bit of spice, and red wine sauce, a bit of sweetness.<\/span>
\n\"lewin<\/p>\n

Although the scallop, fish, and beef needed a bold dash of salt to add to\u00a0its\u00a0flavors, the\u00a0shime<\/strong>\u00a0(Japanese curry rice) was nacreous and complete on its own. Ended with an elegant and highly prized\u00a0Hokkaido mango, coconut pudding, coconut shavings.<\/strong>\u00a0Wood sorrel gave the dessert a surprise spice. Felt as if it was\u00a0Thai-influenced.<\/span>\"Lewin<\/p>\n

Two\u00a0qualms: (1) not wheelchair-friendly, you’ll have to trek up a flight of steps and grown men have panted at the top, and (2) $148++ seems\u00a0overpriced. My suggestion to the restaurant is to increase the portions, more scallops, a bigger piece of fish, a complete piece of steak. On the whole, the food was\u00a0not bad, and the black-and-white colonial house\u00a0in lush greenery was lovely, full of intrigue and romance<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Directions to Lewin Terrace: Turn left into a small gate just after Masonic Club, and just before\u00a0Singapore Philatelic Museum. Free valet parking<\/strong> but tip the ah boy lah.\u00a0<\/em>
