bather's @ clementi arcade a few years ago, my aunt brought me to this restaurant at sunset way. i was rather surprised as she lives in the east and the restaurant was actually very near my house and i have never heard of it before. it was at this quaint italian restaurant that i had my first aglio olio. it changed my palate forever. i was no longer satisfied with the usual choices of tomato or cream sauce. at that time i was still schooling and could not afford to go back to the restaurant, but now that i'm working, things have changed. and so, recently i recommended the place to my parents. 
bather's is located at clementi arcade. it looked no different from the first time i went there. the dining area is still modest and simply decorated. 
we were given complimentary garlic bread and potato salad. 
we started off with caesar salad, a favourite dish of my dad's. the croutons were huge. the dressing was perfect. it's always hard to get a perfect mix of the dressing. 
crab bisque, one of their highly raved items there. i didn't try it. the portion was quite small, but dad seemed to enjoy it. 
dad and i ordered beef tenderloin, even after i specifically told him to try the house special aglio olio. the waitress told me that the beef would be on a hot plate, so i ordered medium rare, but it came on a normal plate. the doneness was fine at the sides, but got a bit rare in the middle. the beef was tender, i think it might have been awesome if done medium. 
and of course the seafood aglio olio. mum loved it! and that's saying something! 
the only think i didn't like about the meal was the dessert. for an italian restaurant, their tiramisu was a flop. it didn't taste like tiramisu at all. no liquor, no ladyfingers. just like a plain chocolate cake. 
i think my mum's thinking of going there for spaghetti soon! |
