Dinner at Chef Daniel Kitchen

This is another reminiscent entry about a restaurant that has ceased to exist since March 2013. Having been introduced to Chef Daniel's Kitchen by an ex-client, I found it delightful because it sat on level 7 of the ex-Iluma (now Bugis +) mall, had a great ambience, and best of all, served delicious food at affordable prices. One could choose to sit in the classy indoors or alfresco dining on the sky garden of Iluma itself. They even had live bands at night.

Since the first visit, I have brought different friends there and therefore,  must have visited at least four times in all.

The address was 201 Victoria Street, level seven (7) Singapore 188067.

Ok, here are glimpses of the restaurant's interior with mirrored walls, cushy seats and clean-cut wooden tables.

I chose to eat different items during each visit, but unfortunately only managed to capture photographs of one evening's visit.

The soup-of-the-day that was served with each main course.  The one in this picture was Cream of Chicken. It tasted good, and the soup was not too diluted nor thick, just the right amount of smoothness.

Next, we had the Escargots baked in cream cheese - which had been succulent and definitely treated our tastebuds well.

The plate I was holding is the Foie Gras - tender and lightly-flavoured. It literally melted in our mouths. My cousin-in-law and I loved it.

She went for the set with the Steak with Caesar Salad on the side and an iced lemon tea. I tried a piece of the steak - it was juicy and very fine, surprisingly.

I went for the set with Spring Chicken with Glutinous Rice and Black Fungus, and a Coke. It was another tantalizing dish with delicious chicken cooked to tenderness. The combination was a good play on one's senses - light, soft, crispy, chewy.

Dessert of a rich, sweet slice of brownie cake was served after dinner.

It was a very enjoyable place to dine at, and each visit I never paid more than SGD$30.00. It is indeed a pity for this place to go, but I guess what will be, will be....

Hope it makes a comeback someday!
