Was at Salt Grill celebrating Christmas. It was situated in Ion. I was pretty amazed when I saw the address... Level 55 at Ion? I didn't know that Ion had that many levels. So at Ion, we went in search for lift.
We saw this "Ion Sky" counter, which at the right hand side was the name "Salt Grill & Sky Bar". We thus went to enquire and a lady led us to a lift which has only one button - Level 55.
Upon reaching the 55th floor, we were greeted by the Restaurant. Led to our reserved table, we were in awe of the view! We were told that only the Christmas Set was available that day, the Christmas Set costs $80++ per pax. So after placing our orders, we went to walk around the restaurant =D
The view from Level 55 Ion!!! I thought this place has a really wonderful ambience to it, and the view is nice and lovely despite the negative comments I read online. However, I was a little disappointed with the service. Maybe it was during the peak period *shrug* To me the service crew were very occupied and busy, and at times it was hard to catch their attention.
The Australian by Luke Mangan (S$18) / Charm-Charm (S$18)
The Australian by Luke Mangan: Lime segment, lime leaf, ginger, cognac, gin cranberry, shaken with Luke's syrup
Charm-Charm: Muddled pineapple with basil leaf shaken with tequila and lime juice topped with champagne
Our Matinis took a long time to be served. I forgot the reason that they have given us.
White Bread & Raisin Bread with Olive Oil & Dukkah
Tempura Oysters (S$36)
I was a little disappointed in the oysters. For this price, I can get better oysters from "The Cliff" (Read my previous post). Nothing to wow about this.
Entree:
Foie Gras Parfait, Toasted Brioche, Walnut, Mesclun Salad
This was my first time having foie gras parfait. It was nice, i finished every bit of the foie gras parfait.
Tempura WA King Prawns, Cucumber, Papaya with Tamarind Dressing
If you are prawn lover, you may like this one.
Main Course:
Christmas Turkey, Zucchini, Currants, Pine Nuts and Basil
Since it Christmas, we decided to try out their Christmas Turkey. The turkey was not bad.
Maori Lakes Beef Tenderloin, grilled with Celeriac Puree, Beans and BBQ Spices
Of all the dishes, this is my favourite dish. The beef was awesome. It's soft, tender and juicy =)
Sides:
French Fries, Rosemary Salt (S$8) / Truffled Mashed Potato (S$13)
We added 2 side dishes. These were not included in the Christmas Set Menu so there were additional payment for this.
The french fries were too overly salty! I felt like I had ate a packet of salt...
The Truffled Mashed Potato is a must try item. The textures was so fluffy and soft, and you won't stop at just one spoon.
Dessert:
Passion Fruit & Cheesecake
The initial order was "Luke's liquorice parfait, lime" but it was not available on that day and hence this dessert. It was so-so only.
Molten Chocolate, Milk Chocolate Mousse, Caramelised Hazalnut, Chocolate Glass
Wahaha... Birthday again! Anyway, this dessert was better that the cheesecake. Not bad =)
Tea / Coffee:
Overall, I felt that it's a little overpriced. For this kind of money you can get better food and service elsewhere.
