Brizo Restaurant

Our room rate at the Park Hotel Clarke Quay included a set three course lunch at the hotel’s Brizo restaurant. Sadly, we were not able to take advantage of that on more than one occasion. I say sadly, because (much against expectation for an “included” set meal), it was actually very good!

Seafood velouté

Seafood velouté

As starter, I chose a seafood veloute (the other option was a sort of pancake with kimchi – and I hate kimchi, so steered well clear of that). The veloute was very good, very creamy and smooth and served with just the right amount of seasoning.

Sirloin steak

The main course was a sirloin steak served with a balsamic sauce. What looks like mashed potato in the picture is actually humous – and a surprisingly good accompaniment. The steak, although not especially large, was tender and very nicely cooked.

New York cheesecake

Dessert was a New York cheesecake. Unlike the sort you get in London (which is the worst place on the planet for cheesecake, I think) this was not an overprocessed, sweet and gooey mess, but instead was textured and not overly sweet. A very nice end to a very decent meal. Service was friendly and efficient – what more to ask?

Cost & conclusion: There was no bill as the meal was included in the room price. Very recommended that you take advantage of this should you happen to stay in this hotel.

Nasi goreng

I had lunch in the Park Hotel’s Brizo restaurant. The Park Hotel Clarke Quay is located at the historic Singapore River and close to the Central Business District. Choosing from the à la carte menu, I selected nasi goreng. This arrived with a very nice presentation of the rice topped by a fried egg. There were small skewers of cured fish with a satay sauce, and fried vegetables on the side, all accompanied by some prawn crackers. Happily, the dish was as good as its presentation suggested it might be. The fish with satay sauce was nicely hot and very tasty, whilst the rice was similarly flavourful without any sign of being greasy. It isn’t exactly nasi goreng as I know it, but it was a very acceptable take on this classic dish.

Cost & conclusion: It was $16 plus GST/taxes (about 17%). Really an excellent lunch and worth trying if you stay in this hotel.
