A very personable dining experience...

After an experience with private dining in Hong Kong, I was rather determine to sniff out similar dining places in Singapore. That's where i chance upon Rabbit Stash by Chef Matthew Mok.

I did attempt to head over to Rabbit Stash when it was at Ulu Pandan but they were closed and preparing for a new place. And so, when it was up and running recently now over at Alexis (close to where Ikea Alexandra is) I was glad I went over for lunch.

The thing about private dining that i enjoy is that some really is a no frills place but serves good food with a very personable approach to dining. And we are not simply referring to the service crew but you actually have the chef come out and have a chat, understand the needs and get a feel of the customers.

We tried his beef tenderloin and as stated in other blogs, it is nicely done tender and juicy. I tried the salmon and the texture was beautiful making it a rather pleasant surprise considering the fact that recently i did try out Salt Grill and Sky Bar and i wasnt too impressed with the doners of the fish (i tried three different kinds of fish then even!).

We did start off with the pea voloute and for a pea hater, this was not overwhelmingly strong but a good balance of the flavours and spices. This was something that i noticed for all the dishes. It was a smart use of spices to give that extra edge and challenge the taste buds in a way that opens up the palate.

The Basil cheesecake was not too creamy and maybe it was the tinge of basil in it that gave it that added edge to it. I have a sweet tooth and so this cheesecake i really dig.

Be sure to call in and book. In the past when it was at Ulu Pandan... if i am not mistaken they use to be able to seat only 12 folks but now with the new place Alexis i think they have pretty much double up the capacity to about 25-30. Don't worry. the place ain't cramped up, instead nicely spaced. Go on down and tell me what you think about Rabbit Stash.



 This was really nice. Sorry forgot to take down the name.. its salmon with smoked duck.
