Bistro Soori

This lovely little restaurant is the come-back child of local chef Jimmy Chok. In the day, I love how I could see the modern backdrop while dining in a retrofitted traditional shophouse.

The restaurant is lovely with simple brown and white tones, clean and elegant look. Low back cushioned arm chairs felt comfortable unless I found it a little too high and I had to do a hunch and bendover all through the meal.

I was looking forward to my first meal at Bistro Soori and when my business lunch date didn’t turn up on time, I got worried she perhaps couldn’t find the place. Her cell phone ring tone revealed she was out of country and I just felt disappointed and embarrassed that I might have to walk out of the restaurant alone after sitting there for 20 minutes.

But I was glad I stayed to have lunch alone. The cream of mushroom soup, which could be thicker and more robust in flavour, was generous and did a good job in warming me up.

The main course of cod fish was well cooked if not quite ordinary.

Dessert was a strawberry dessert with sweet and thick balsamic syrup and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. I loved the contrasting textures and tastes but wished they served better ice cream that did not taste like Wall’s. Not that there is anything wrong with Wall’s but not in a classy restaurant I thought.

Lunch concluded with Nespresso coffee served with an interesting milk container that reminded me of something not so appropriate to mention here.

My lonesome affair felt like a welcomed respite when compared to the dread of going back to the grind.

Bistro Soori offers classic, no frills food and a much needed break away from the world, even just for a couple of hours.
