Tao’s Restaurant is renowned for its set lunch & dinner (6-course and 7-course respectively).
It’s $19.90++ for the lunch, starting from 1130 – 1630 (last order at 1500), and dinner that time onwards at $29.90++.

Course 1: Starters
Bacon & Mushroom Gratin

There is only 1 choice for the Starters.
But it sure tasted yummy!
Thick, creamy and cheesy.
The bread helps to ease the cheesiness.

Course 2: Salads
Top Shell Salad with Cold Japanese Noodle
Prawn Roll with Pork Floss
Farm Boy Splendour
Fruit Salad
Huai San
Grilled King Oyster Mushroom & Sorbet (for dinner only)

-

I chose Fruit Salad.
There is a layer of crab stick meat on top of the sweet fruits.
Interesting taste!

Nicole said I looked super happy with my food.

Huixin chose Top Shell Salad with Cold Japanese Noodle.

Course 3: Soups
Shark-fin Melon Herbal Soup
Japanese Fish Consomme
Cream of Mushroom
Cream of Pumpkin

This is my Cream of Mushroom!
What can I say?
Hmm, it tasted super mushroom-y!
Thumbs up.

Course 4: Main Entrees
Grilled Snapper with Japanese sauce
Baked Atlantic Flounder with Cheese
Tao’s Grilled Chicken Jumbo Leg
Slow-cooked Pork Back Ribs
Tao’s Oven Roasted Steak
Marinated Rack of Lamb
Spicy Stingray

-
Photobucket
I couldn't decide between Tao’s Grilled Chicken Jumbo Leg and Spicy Stingray!
In the end, I chose the chicken leg.
Because the word 'Jumbo' sounds promising.

Photobucket
And I'm totally stunned by the size...

Course 5: Desserts
Yangsheng Poached Pear with Red Dates
White Chocolate Mousse
Crème Brule
Tiramisu

-
Photobucket
I chose Crème Brule for my dessert.
It means 焦糖布丁。
Simply divine!

I chose Iced Summer Peach Tea.
Look! It came in cute little pots and nice teacups.
A tumbler-like container for the drinks, and a small, tiny, shot-like glass for slow consumption of the drinks.
Make us felt as if we were drinking sake.

Look at the delighted us!

We personally felt that the food was nice.
And it was worth the money!!
:)
Glad that we went there for lunch, not for dinner.
Because there is a difference of $10++ for just 1 extra dish.
Good service too!

;)

Yayy souvenior from Nic!

Randomly roamed around and saw food that depicts us.
