Roosevelt's Diner & Bar @ Dorsett Residence

IMG_1990ed

Conveniently just located beside the exit of Outram MRT station at Dorsett Residence, less than a month old all day dining restaurant bar, Roosevelt's Diner & Bar is opened by the folk behind the French fine dining restaurant Millesime in Kuala Lumpur. Millesime is an award winning restaurant, voted as one of Asia's top restaurant by The Miele Guide and having been rated as one of the top dining must-do's in 2011 by Singapore's Food & Travel Magazine. (Unfortunately at the time of this publication, I have been informed by my reader that Millesime has closed down).

Jalapeno Bacon Mac & Cheese 3.5/5

A take on a classic is the Jalapeno Bacon Mac & Cheese ($11). As there was jalapeno in it, I thought it will be spicy but it turned out pretty pleasant to the palate. The crumbs on the top gave it a crunchy texture which was really enjoyable. I only hope that the chef could be more bold in the seasoning as I was seeking for a more cheesy execution.

Teddy's Classic Bacon Cheese Burger 4/5

The patty of the gourmet burgers at Roosevelt is made with 100% beef. Using 2 different types of beef, the Teddy's Classic Bacon Cheese Burger ($20) so extremely moist and juicy. It was shared that there is a particular way how the chef mixed and formed the beef patty giving it the moistness

Truffle Snapper Pie 3/5

I could not help comparing the Truffle Snapper Pie ($19) after having tried the baked snapper pie at The Pelican. While it was beautifully perfumed by truffle and wrapped in a flaky pastry, the filling although flavourful but a bit too watery.

Southern Fried Chicken 3.8/5

The Southern Fried Chicken ($18) is marinated with milk giving it a very tender and juicy texture. Deep fried with a secret spicy blend to an aromatic crunchy bite, it is served with salad side and triple mash consists of potato, sweet potato and pumpkin. Like the mac and cheese, I felt that seasoning can be much bolder.

Apple Forest Berries Crumble 3.5/5

Ending the meal on a sweet note with the Apple Forest Berries Crumble ($8). A delectable warm dessert that has a layer of crunchy crumble finished off with a scoop of smooth creamy ice cream.

Roosevelt's Diner & Bar is beautifully decorated with an industrial chic. Among the decor, is a vintage orange Vespa placed beside a glass table supported on a geometric metal framework with a behemoth race car engine forming the base. The food here was decent with some American influence. I felt that the kitchen can be a bit bolder in their seasoning in some of the dishes, just a bit more fine tuning to raise the bar.

Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro @ Quayside Isle

IMG_0226ed

After considering for many years, I have finally decided to apply for the Sentosa Islander Card for unlimited free access into Sentosa as they are more and more restaurants and attractions in the southern island of Singapore. And there is even more reasons for me to maximize my free access to Sentosa with Quayside Isle attracting several restaurants opening at the beautiful Sentosa Cove. Making my way to the latest happening place in Sentosa, I am surprised that the place is quite crowded as it is not very accessible. After strolling up and down the quayside isle checking out the different food establishments, I ended up at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro.

Coconut Buttermilk Battered Oysters 3/5

Dinner at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro started with half a dozen of the Coconut Buttermilk Battered Oysters ($14). Lightly battered and deep fried to a nice crispy exterior, the oyster did have a hint of the coconut flavour but I felt it was a tad dry spoiling the juiciness of the oyster.

Baked Barramundi 3/5

I had the Baked Barramundi ($29) which comes with brown buttered carrot puree, Australian leek fondue and iberico chorizo flakes. The barramundi was moist and beautifully cooked. Presentation itself already whetted up the appetite with its colourful plating of green and orange. Unfortunately I was not a fan of the carrot puree, the plate need a more tangy sauce to bring the dish together.

Snapper Pie 3.5/5

My partner had the Snapper Pie ($26) which is served with truffle shoestring fries. Breaking into the pastry and scooping into the roux of butter and flour cooked in milk, each spoonful of the snapper pie was hearty and welcoming.

I like the ambience at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro which is casual and relax with a great view of the marina. Patrons can even select from the fresh catch of the day and decide how they want it to be cooked. However based on what I tried, I felt that the price was a bit too expensive for the quality of the food I had.
