It has been years since I stepped into Yan Ting (宴庭) at St Regis Hotel for a meal. It kinda dropped off my radar since it was an overall decent restaurant, but there was nothing in particular that I miss. Made a dinner date with S at Yan Ting.
I had to have a bowl of soup! Didn't want anything complicated. Opted for a 'soup of the day' in the form of pork ribs and radish with... I think it's dangshen herb. But the amount is insufficient to trigger allergies. The menu offered celtuce as an appetizer. It came tossed with scallion oil and topped with shrimps — no additional ingredients. Perfect. It's as simple as I want it.
S had a craving for the restaurant's seafood vermicelli. She specially requested for it since it wasn't an on-menu item, but the kitchen would have all the ingredients. The kitchen obliged. It held generous slices of fish and loads of shrimps. The oil and salt were kept light and the dish tasted great. There was also spinach tofu to fulfil fiber requirements. Oof.
There were only two of us, and we didn't have to tapau food and there wasn't much wastage. Three dishes were more than enough for our stomachs. It was a lovely long night catching up in air-conditioned comfort. Heh! Ended the meal with dessert. Picked the least filling of the lot, or so we thought. Hahaha. An aloe vera jelly with fruit (芦荟果冻) for S, and a herbal jelly (龟苓膏) for me.
