i love dozo!  my sis's first pay day since she started work at sph and she treated us to a wonderful lunch at one of our family's favourite restaurants, dozo.  as usual the service at dozo was impeccable. they gave us a private room as always, and served us our favourite munchie (baked spaghetti sticks) and floral tea promptly.  it was matthew's first time there and he was spoilt for choice. didn't know what to pick for each dish and after asking his preferences, the helpful staff was there to give recommendations.  first on the table was tiny shooters to cleanse our palate. it is a regular practice exercised by dozo. kind of a cute idea. the restaurant has swapped its mango juice to sour plum juice. the sour plum one is lighter, which would definitely suit the purpose of cleansing our palate; however, i still long for mango one. after the starter which hasn't changed since we first patronised the restaurant, was scallop, foie gras and smoked salmon. all of which i generously gave to my dad (i didn't eat any of them). next were the side dishes. since i had probably taken pictures of almost all the dishes there, i'll just slip in a few, seeing that they had changed their presentation for some.  bamboo clam. what an interesting way of serving the food. on a ceramic tile! you'll notice that the chef actually loves him foam a lot. the scallop in the starter came with foam, so did this dish. there was also foam on my espresso creme brulee!  foie gras chawanmushi with truffle. yes, they unquestionably do not scrimp on ingredients at all.  mushrooms in 'singapore flyer' as the waiter put it. following that were the soups. among the five of us, we ordered everything except for the miso soup. the four types of soups have been tried, tested and fondly remembered!  mushroom soup. as thick as the ones you get at soup spoon. that little bit of brown thing on the spoon is truffle. again.  french onion soup. so good, every mouthful is a taste of cheese, bread and bits of bacon.  my personal favourite, the double boiled beef consomme.  the person who treated us, with her crab bisque. on to the mains!!!  me and my pu-ye beef tenderloin. after i have tried this dish, i couldn't settle for any other mains, no matter how interesting they sounded (i usually get my mum to order the new dishes and i'll grab a bite). the beef is cooked over a hot stone and you can decide on your doneness. anyway, i don't know why my left eye seems smaller than my right eye in this picture.  hamachi and risotto. we are still speculating as to which part of the fish it was. mum thought it had a fishy taste while matthew found it soft and easy on the throat.  for our drinks, most of us ordered the ones in pots. mum and i had sprigs of lavender in ours! remember i mentioned about the foam at the beginning? well, here it is again!  my espresso creme brulee. the popular french dessert came with a twist or should i say a shot of espresso. i loved it!  my sis's muachi, served with green tea ice-cream. she always order this when we're there. same goes for my dad and mum who can't give up their warm chocolate lava cake. all in all, a five stars experience! where else can you get so many dishes for only $39.90++*? this is in addition to the high standards of food, lovely ambience, as well as the attentive staff. even when we were closeted in our private room, they constantly refilled our cups and were aware of our needs. needless to say, i always leave with a smile on my face. *only for lunch |
