Feasting away @ Il Lido

Having missed out on Il Lido during the Restaurant Week, I was glad to have another opportunity to dine at the restaurant. Big Deals was having a great saving for dining at Il Lido, only at $26.80 nett per person for a 3-course lunch.

Woke up very early today and looking forward to my lunch. After travelling for around an hr, we finally arrive at the Sentosa Golf Club, where the restaurant is located.

Awesome view from the restaurant overlooking the Singapore Straits



The waiter looked kinda disappointed when we asked for ice water instead of ordering wines

The complimentary basket of bread. And I finished them all. Probably the portion of my main was too small and I'm hungry. And also, the bread was actually one of the nicest food for the day (the scallop dish was the other nice dish).

Gal browsing through the menu for any additional ala carte that we may wanna try

yap yap, i kept munching my bread most of the time =p

This was a complimentary dish from the chef, according to the waiter. Wonder what this actually was? It's Cheese !! Tasty cheese but the portion was too small. Well, this is fine dining =(



I tried experiment it, dipping my slice of bread with the cheese. It did not go well at all, a bad idea to mix them together.

There were only 2 choices of Appetizer to choose from, and this was one of them. It was decent, nothing special about it.



This was the other appetizer, a soup. It was so different from what was shown on Big Deals website, and it was different from what Rosalyn had too. Maybe they changed their menu. Or maybe it was just not our day =(





Nice golf course and the greens

This was my main. We ordered fish main course and a pasta, but beef was served instead of the fish. Regretted for not asking the waiter to change to the correct order.

The meat was quite tough and dry, and the blood taste was quite strong. Photo can be deceiving.

This was the additional ala carte that we ordered on top of the set meal. Scallop with cured pork cheek, leek cream and cheery tomato. This was the best dish among all. But make a guess the price of this dish.

It was a whopping $30 !! And that was before the GST and Service Charge. It means each scallop cost more than $10 ! However, at least we feel this was value for money compared to the other dishes that was served.

Gal's tomato pasta. It was nothing but ordinary.
I think I can cook this too.


Gal also feels that the scallop is the nicest of all

A romantic date ? =p

Gal was kinda of disappointed with the food as well. We looked around and found that most of the diners had purchased the vouchers from Big Deal as well, and were mostly having the same selection.



Ultra small portion for me !
Argh !! Not filling !!!


And this was our pathetic dessert, Creme Brulee. I think Rosalyn will feel more comforted after knowing what we had for lunch. =(

Even the coffee was not nice at all.
Think my gal didn't even finish her cup of coffee


The nth golfer that we saw ....

Though the food was not up to expectation, the views was beautiful.



Cam-whoring ... =x





It's coffee time !

more golfing actions

A shot of us looking fat and short.
