Santaro, Amara Hotel

We went for a fantastique jap dinner last Fri,
it's a very humble restaurant,
run by Hongkie Mr. Li.
*monkey no likey him!!!*

Santaro has been voted a couple of times,
as one of the best restaurant in Spore,
You can see pics of celebrities...politicians bla bla bla.
with that stupid Mr. Li.
We made reservation much much earlier to get seats at the counter
Grilled top oyster with chef's secret sauce
The top was yummylicious,
and the oyster is still raw and juicy inside.
I lurve it that the chef cut the oyster into 3 smaller pieces inside,
and aligned them as if it's still untouchable.

There were about 25 courses!!!! goodness...
food came non stop that we have to ask the chef to stop.

Monkey was too engrossed chomping down her raw food,
that she didn't bother to snap pics...
sorry folks
JS had this wine....fr Italy,
it's pronounced as "Ga-Ya"
Chef Lawrence bz at work,
funny that they conversed in fluent japanese though they are CHINESE!!!

"Terry-san, I see......you have been playing.....golf."
Both of us were wearing Frank Muller
His watches are alwiz nice...

Frank Muller Master Banker with 3 time zones
on a single winding button.
Mr. Muller actually patented this mechanical innovation!!!

Monkey's Muller was a simple Cintree Curvex Collection,
in Pink Gold. :-)
Japanese rock melon!!!
1st time indulging in it and it ain't enuff.

I've been commenting every time I see one,
at the Isetan supermarket.

"Which damn ass would buy such an expensive fruit???"

At RM 145 a biji, it's like eating gold.
Even at RM 14.50 for a whole melon is outrageous.

but RM 145?!?!?!?!?!?
The texture is excellent!!!!
I can't describe it...
it burst on your tongue and tickles the follicle.

bubbly like champagne......it almost taste like one too.
Now I understand why is it so expensive.

I was sharing one slice with JS coz we were too full,
plus we had some other desserts,
in the end....not enuff....

At SGD 150 per person,
It's really worth the money paid.
we had sea urchin, plenty of toro and otoro,
and all the superb fresh produce fr the sea.

Look for Chef Lawrence.
