Private dining experience

recently i went down to craig road for a private dining experience with yijun and gary (from S64) and spouses. they don't entertain walk in customers and you have to make bookings months in advance. i can't remember how many months but in our case because i am usually not free on weekends, finding a slot was particularly difficult.

menu changes rather frequently, and you can see some of their signature dishes on the website.
excellent service (any waiters who bother to play with my baby are good, haha)...you get plenty of attention from them because they only serve a maximum of 50 guests per night. minimum booking is for 6 pax....around $80+ per head.

dishes were rather refreshing, and i'm sure there is something for everyone. i like their appetisers but find some main courses too heavy on the flavours (sze chuan style). i can recommend some of you to try it for the experience when considering the next gathering (if you haven't tried it already). can check out www.xiyan.com.sg

there is also another private dining venue near my studio. it's called palate sensations (www.palatesensations.com). it's actually a cooking school (quite high crass type) and have fun cookie making lessons for kids as well. quite a fun way to spend weekends with your children. aside from that, they do cater to private dining events...menu is mainly western. worth another thought. don't forget to call me when you are in the vicinity. maybe i'm in. The place is at Blk 1 Whitchurch Rd, and my studio is just next door at Blk 5.
