Food Review - Tao's Restaurant

Went to tis restaurant on Tuesday… Tao’s Restaurant… or 陶餐厅 shld sound more familiar to u… last time have advertisement on tv b4… it’s at selegie paradiz centre… the food is realli not bad so I’m recommending to u all here…

Juz for ur info… their menu is a standard 7-course dinner (meaning u go in eat dinner MUST have 7 items)… inclusive of 3 starters (fixed), 1 salad, 1 soup, 1 main entrée, 1 dessert & 1 drink (now tat I count, actually have 8 items, maybe they dun count the drink)… cost per person is $34 inclusive of tax…

Starter: Sorbet

Starter: Gratin

Tip - Eat it when still hot (spread on bread or juz eat it - ur choice), cold le not nice

The bread is good & it's free-flow, but dun eat too much coz u will be stuffed.

Starter: Grilled Mushroom

I know, two slices of mushroom stalk looks pathetic... but it tastes good.

Soup: Pumpkin Soup

The container so cute...

Abit too sweet... but still not bad...


Soup: Mushroom Soup

Good, quite thick... but not the best mushroom soup I had...

Main Entree: Baby Lobster Pasta
Average... lobster is realli "baby"... but pasta quite alot lah...


Main Entree: Pork Ribs
Nice... beri flavourful & tender... but quite fatty so not recommended for ladies on diet...


Main Entree: Lamb
Tender... strong herb taste... but I dun like the plate of sauce lah... it's mint...


Main Entree: Baked Flounder With Cheese
My order... flounder is a fish (in case u din know)... fish beri juicy and soft... cheese not overwhelming... good...


The Drinks
From Left: Apple, Mallow, Peach
Not your normal fruit tea... all have flowers inside... and the flowery taste actually stronger than the fruits... so more like flower tea... some ppl will like it, some ppl dun... ok for me...

Dessert: Yangshen Poached Pear
Introducing the pear tat dun taste like a pear... and dun taste like a dessert either...
Verdict - dun order


Dessert: Yam Ice Cream
Overwhelming taste of yam... no doubt it's YAM ice cream... I hate it...
Must-have for yam lovers

Dessert: Brulee
Not sure if I got the spelling correct... tis is not bad... I tink for Tao's restaurant, the weakest part is their desserts... nothing realli fantastic...


Dessert: Black Sesame Pudding
My order... average... can taste the sesame... but i dun like the condensed milk at the top... too sweet & "took over" the taste of the sesame pudding below...

Other remarks: The service is quite good... staff is friendly and very "on-the-ball"... they even tell u honestly wat "not to order" on the menu... oh ya... the guy from their tv ad is realli a staff at the restaurant... he's a captain or maybe outlet manager there...
