Double Bay Restaurant & Bar
Had a great dinner yesterday at Double Bay Restaurant & Bar (hungrygowhere link). It’s Australian style.
It’s located outside Raffles City Shopping Centre, facing Raffles Hotel, nearest Raffles City exit is near Timberland.
It’s been a long time I had an above average western food. I don’t use perfect too often.. 
We had Organic Mushroom Soup ($9.90) as our starter. It’s slightly too salty, but I like the egg inside. Yes, egg in mushroom soup! The egg was something between hard-boiled and soft-boiled. This is the first time I tried this combination! But it taste great.
Then, we had 2 main courses. One of them was Fish & Chips, we ordered Australian Barramundi with Beer batter ($19.90, It’s their best seller according to the waiter). I love it. You can taste the fish (how often do you really enjoy the fish in fish & chips? They are always deep fried but tasteless), and it’s yummy! The sauces (vinegar, mayo and tomato) complement the food. And the thick-cut fries are something we both preferred. One down side, SM find it a bit oily.
The other dish was Capellini Vongole ($17.90). I like it because their vongole is big (wonder where was it from..), Capellini (thinner spaghetti) was tasteful. Nicely done!
Hey pals, let’s go there for the next meet up!
Update: [2009-Feb-11] Just came back from dinner. The standard seems to drop a lot.
