5 Senses Bistro

Have been hearing my pals talking about 5 senses since school days but I did not get the chance to try it till now.

The 5 Senses Bistro is setup by a team of young entrepreneurs that love exploring new cooking techniques and ingredients. The name was derive from their aim of creating food, leaving an impression on customer's 5 Senses from visual to smell.

The team also focus to create an affordable comfort food using freshest ingredients and also every dish represents their chef individually.

Ordered the Live Oysters for Starters and Nibbles. It was served in a plate of 6 decked with ice cubes and lemon wedges.

Live Oysters - $12.90 (6 Pcs)

Oyster was fresh and refreshing with its icy coldness.

The best way to enjoy fresh shacked oysters is to squeeze some lemon juice over and add some tabasco sauce.

The bowl of Mushroom Soup did not disappoint. It is of the right consistency and texture of soup comprises of the mushroom chunks. Flavor was mild and not overly intense, perfect!

Mushroom Soup - $4.90

Grain-Fed Angus Braised Beef Cheek was excellent. I had this classic french dish paired with Brussels sprouts bacon and homemade Green Salad as sides.

Grain-Fed Angus Braised Beef Cheek - $21.90

The braised cheek was braised till it softness that it is easily tear off with the slightest pressure. On top of that, I find that the braised sauce was rich and generous. The portion as a whole is worth the price paid.

To my surprise, the Brussels Sprouts was softer than my expectation and goes well with the braised sauce and bacon.

The Green Salad was served separately in a dish. The refreshing serving

The slab of beef was not very thick but was rather flat with bits of peppercorns on the surface of meat.

The doneness was served to exactly what we wanted. Meat was fork tender and well seasoned.

The texture of mashed potatoes with fried garlic was spongy. The gravy was good, however, the texture still make the mashed potatoes feel weird.

Food quality from 5 Senses Bistro is no doubt better than average and the price paid is definitely worth the portion served.
