While running an errand in Funan mall, we decided to settle our meal there. Whenever it comes to quality and delicious food in Funan, the first thought I had in mind will be 5 senses bistro for they had left a good impression to me.

The mushroom soup was offered as the soup of the day. It was fragrant and appetizing.

We had chosen the Pan Seared Jade Perch with 2 sides of Sauteed Mushrooms and Potato Salad. The Pan Seared Jade Perch was perfectly done with a crisp layer yet maintained the moisture of the fish meat. Squeeze some lemon over to enhance its taste. The sauteed mushroom was fragrant and delicious while the potato salad was not too creamy and I like such a combination.

The Char Siu Chicken Thigh requires a waiting time of about 20 minutes. The charred edges and tenderness of the Chicken Thigh were even. This main was paired with Brussels Sprouts and Macaroni Cheese.

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 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!

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 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.
