This is considered one of the pricey places that we don't normally go so when we get a chance, a review is definitely necessary! :)
Nice atmosphere and those who is going to the Arts House for the first time, i would recommend that you walk walk around the Arts House (they have a shop on level 1 and sometimes art shows on the 2nd level) to get a sense of the 'arty' air.
We were seated outside (rather than inside) since there were not really anyone so we had the whole veranda to ourselves which is nice.
HOW TO ORDER!
Boss advised that ordering a-la-cart is rather ex at 1827 so its best to go for the 4 course meal priced @ $40 per person.We can choose any appetizer on the menu, any soup, any main course etc etc which is definitely a better deal then a-la-cart!
SOUPS
1. Tom Yum Soup with Prawn
Started off with my favourite Tom Yum soup of cos! Taste rather spicy (without taking the cut chilli, i hear that if you eat the cut chilli, it will be very spicy), although soup is clear, taste was good! Not so sour, not so thick etc, just nice!
2. Fish Maw Soup
My colleague had this fish maw soup which she said tasted good. APPETIZERS
1. Fresh Maguro Tuna Served Rare
with mint & sweet basil in rice paper roll
Appearance was great, though wasn't very impressed with this dish. A bit bland and i didn't know there were tuna inside at all, tasted all vegetables (the carrot mainly). Would not recommend to try unless you like something light.
2. Home Cured Salmon
with Coriander, spicy pomelo salad, lemon dressing
mmm... this one is tasty!Salmon was fresh and having it with pomelo and a bit of lemon was interesting and added a bit of fun into eating salmon.
A must try for salmon lovers!
3. Grilled Chicken Satay
with Thai peanut sauce
This is good, chicken was well grilled.A can try!
4. Sugar Cane Prawn
with plum sauce
Well, everyone at the table likes this dish apparently, the prawns were minced and mix with some other ingredient i think, not the usual fried prawn by itself and just wrap around the sugar cane.Interesting, unique preparation and according to my boss, its a must try!
MAIN COURSE
1. Grilled Black Cod
Cod was fresh though serving was a bit small (may be little for guys). I thought that the cod was pretty bland which luckily they had some kind of thai sauce (which was not spicy) together with it so it doesn't taste as bland.Think for those who wants a simple and healthy dish, this will be good for you.
2. Ribeye Steak - served well done
My colleague had this and she said it was good!3. Crayfish Curry
This was ordered by my boss's mum. Looks nice and according to her, it tasted good.DESSERTS
1. Tapioca with coconut milk
Typically Thai dessert, tasted good, at least the coconut milk was fresh and not salty nor too sweet.2. Fried Banana with ice cream
Didn't really tried this dish, my boss was too full to have this by the time it came and not much comments was made on this for thos who tried. I wasn't a fan of bananas so i skipped this dish!
3. Mango with glutinous rice
Boss's mum had this dish and seriously, i can't remember what she said about this dish. Anyway, all dishes at 1827 had a standard so it all taste nice, none was really bad to the extend that the price was not justifiable.4. Pandan Tiramisu
Hehe... i ordered this... thought that it sounds the most interesting on the menu.Cake and pudding like combined dessert with sago and coconut milk... interesting combination and it was pretty nice. Though i thought the sesame biscuit wasn't very good and didn't go well with the pandan tiramisu. I would rather just take the panda tiramisu by itself.
Overall rating
Yum level: 4 kisses
$ level: 4 money bags per pax
Note to Drivers: there are not many parking lots here (beside Victoria theatre) so you may have to park at Raffles Place or boat quay and walk over. The best is to just grab a cab ba.
