SICC Bukit Cafe
I've reconciled with the sad conclusion that it's impossible not to put on weight during the festive period. Every single social event revolves around food so you invariably end up eating several times a day! Anticipating the amount of eating we'd be doing over the Chinese New Year festive period, we've had to go to the gym almost everyday prior to the festive period to combat the potential weight gain.
We usually end late at the gym so eating at the club makes more sense as it's convenient to go straight home after dinner. These were just some of our meals eaten at the club after our gym sessions.
The Pan-fried Cod ($21) with char-grilled asparagus served on a bed of truffle scented risotto with forest mushrooms, chervil sauce and lobster and saffron oil reduction was just okay, not bad but not impressive either. The risotto was a overcooked but the cod was done well, with a lightly caramelized crust and moist fleshy insides.
The Chicken Satay ($6.30 for half dozen) was one of the better done dishes, the skewered chicken meat was juicy and succulent, while the peanut sauce was chunky and textured.
The Ultimate U.S. Wagyu Beef Burger ($19.90) with its juicy and full-bodied 200g wagyu beef patty made this a repeat order. The portobello mushrooms and brie cheese fillings added to the luxury content of this burger.
There were hits and misses in the Nasi Goreng Temburong ($7.80). The whole crispy chicken drumstick and the fried egg were a little dried out, but the flavoured rice was good enough to eat on its own, peppery and richly flavoured. This was also served alongside generic achar, crackers and a potent fiery sambal.
The Tofu Claypot ($6.90) was a disappointment though, the pan-fried beancurd was severely waterlogged and the oyster-mushroom gravy laden with pak choy, cabbage and bell peppers was rather ordinary.
