The King Louis Grill & Bar
Time really flies.. It's now 1 Jan 2010!
Did you manage to achieve all your goals and resolutions in 2009? If not, well, there's always 2010, 2011, 2012 etc.. =p
I dun really believe in setting resolutions in the new year. Well, you can say I have no long term goals. But I rather live my life as it comes. Things will change, people will change, your thinking will change.. so why should I set a goal which might eventually need to be changed? Hahaha...
Ok, anyway before this entry gets very "expired", let me do a quick review of King Louis where I had my Christmas dinner. =)
THE KING LOUIS GRILL & BAR

The Christmas Menu
There were 3 sets of Christmas Banquets which consisted of Meats Only, Seafood Only and Meats & Seafood. The pricing were $58++, $68++ and $78++ per pax respectively. It was kinda expensive but I was attracted to the variety so we decided to still give it a try and took the third option.
The place was nicely decorated and we were given a seat facing the Sentosa. Not that the construction was nice to look at, but at least there was some night scenary? Keke
We were the few to reach early, which explained why the resturant was quite empty. But it was easily filled up as the night approached.
Red or White Wine
We were served the wine which was part of the banquet. The wine was not fantastic and tasted weird after some time, so we dint finish it.
Portobelle Mushroom Served With Apple Capsicum Salad
I loved Portobelle Mushroom and so I simply adored this dish. When it was served, I thought that it was a piece of duck meat, until I looked at the menu again. Keke. A pity that we were only given one each, nothing more.
Signature Mushroom Soup
Toasted Garlic Bread
Mushroom soup was nice, so far so good...
Signature Salad
The salad was made up of potato, rasins, vege and onions ( yucks!). Apparently, the dressing consisted of wasabi or some spicy thingy. Overall, the salad was a bit too spicy for my liking and I dislike onions.
Platter of Meat & Seafood for 2
Roasted Beef with Red Wine Sauce
Roasted Honey Baked Ham with Pineapple Sauce
Roast Turkey
Green Mussels and Pan Fried Scallops
Oven Baked King Prawns and Mozzarella Cheese
At first, we thought the platter was a bit little for the price that we paid. But surprisingly, we were really full and cant finish everything.
One thing I thought the service can be better ~ they should serve the platter after we had finished the soup and salad. First of all, the table was not big enough to contain 2 soups, wines, water mugs, salad plus the platter. Perhaps they were trying to create a food spread presentation on our pathetic table? It did, but we were like trying to finish the soup fast so that we can have more room for movement without spilling or breaking anything.
Secondly, the platter was served not hot. Probably because, the platter was already pre-prepared before we came. Coz I noticed that for those who came later than us, they had their platter served much later than the soup, that means the first batch of pre-prepared platter had been all served hence the chefs would need more preparation/cooking time before the platter can be served again.
Food wise, the meat was passable ~Turkey and beef was not tough, just good enough. The ham was good. The seafood was okay. But then, that was the problem. Nothing really left a memorable impression. All was just average, and obviously overpriced.
Signature Pastries ~ Chocolate Cake
*******
I think the food was just normal. I took a glance of the ala carte menu for normal days, quite expensive as well. Then again, the decoration and the concept of the resturant is indeed innovative, but how long can it last? Perphaps they need to come up with more economical items in their menu, or dished up really royalty food to warrant their pricing. Haha, at least for me to revisit lor.... =p
