The buttermilk ranch mention really does not help their case!

Ordered in Jungsik (2* in NYC) for my birthday dinner recently. Excellent food, even as delivery. Really loved their take on a tuna hand roll, as well as the crispy rice drenched in uni.

So pleased another FTer introduced me to this Michelin star restaurant , Lerouy , in the “ old “ part of Singapore .
My meal was the variation of this .
Menu surprise
Miniature testubes - lemongrass & .. mine was the one on the right - lighter , sadly without the beef
Mine with the cooked shrimp
Refreshing seaweed / lettuce , love the finesse with mother of pearl spoon - hoping in vain for some caviar
Wholemeal sourdough - chance for playing with food , butters in this case , what a palette ! Forgot to take a photo of my bread art
Cured anchovy , sans anchovy for one , just the olives
Beautifully plated salmon
More truffle please
There is a scallop hidden beneath
This cabbage and the accompaniments - absolutely delicious !!
The minute ( to me ) main
Desserts in red
Petit fours Loved the canale variation & dark chocolate pyramid in particular
Was pleasantly surprised , impressed , with the meal . The curved counter seating arrangement was alright as we could see the action in front of us as the chefs prepared our meal .

Contra (1*, NYC) has an abbreviated delivery menu available. TBH, quite unimpressive compared to what others are doing. I am sure that part of it is a cost thing - Contra was a very affordable 1* experience (and very, very good to boot) in the 'before' times, but their takeout Chinese-oriented menu compares fairly poorly against either other 1* restaurants offering takeout, or more casual spots doing slightly elevated takes on Chinese food. We had it last night, and all I can say is...meh.
I also ordered a cocktail special from Atomix (2* in NYC) where they provided 2 cocktails, plus a 'Suntory gift set'. Gift set was a tablecloth, a pen, and some pins one could stick on their backpack. Vastly overpriced for the cocktails I can order for delivery here, and better in flavor profile and creativity to boot.
