SIP Wine Bistro at Regency House has recently updated its Lunch Set Menu ($28++), offering a concise but thoughtful selection.
French Onion Soup 4/5
Summer Green Salad 3/5
There are two options to begin with: French Onion Soup with Emmental Toast or a Summer Green Salad. The soup is clearly the more exciting choice. Made with veal stock, it delivered a delectably sweet profile with good depth and a tangy lift that kept each spoonful appetising. The emmental toast, however, could have been more indulgent. A thicker layer of cheese and a crustier, more rustic bread would have elevated it.
Local Red Snapper 3/5
The Local Red Snapper was an interesting take for mains, served with a light tomato dashi. The fish was nicely seared, boasting a crisp skin and a generous crack of black pepper, but it leaned too heavily on salt, and the flesh wasn't as tender as it could have been. That said, the tomato dashi was a highlight. It is delicate, savoury, and soothing, with Shimeji mushrooms and clams that add umami depth.
Pork Jowl Chashu 3/5
The Pork Jowl Chashu had great potential. The flavour of the pork jowl itself was excellent, but the overly fatty strips and uneven cut detracted from the dish's overall enjoyment. A better fat-to-meat ratio and more evenly portioned meat would have made a world of difference. On a brighter note, the rice it came with had an incredibly moreish texture, perfectly cooked and satisfying.
Lemon Basil Sorbet 4/5
Chocolate Pot de Crème 4/5
Dessert ended the meal on a high. The Lemon Basil Sorbet was refreshing and palate-cleansing, while the Chocolate Pot de Crème with Valrhona 70% was rich and indulgent, with a beautifully decadent finish.
Each lunch set also comes with coffee or tea, priced at $28++.
