Visited on 2 Nov 2014 (Sun) - Last day of the Restaurant Week Lunch.

Restaurant week lunch at $25++ per person = Total bill of $58.85 for 2 pax.

The Royal Mail Restaurant & Bar is a 60-seat restaurant with three separate sections: The Bar, The Main Dining Room and a Private Dining Space that can be modified to accommodate groups of different sizes.  It was housed within the historical and culturally-rich Ascott Raffles Place Service Apartment and serves modern interpretations of Classic British Cuisine. 





Their bar counter at lobby level. You can take a seat here to wait first if you're early.














Reception at The Royal Mail







This is the place that we had our Restaurant Week Lunch!
















Their open kitchen..













Soft warm bread was served with butter...




Starter: Pan-Seared Scallops
Love their scallops so much - Succulent and Crisp at the top!



Starter: Pan-Seared Foie Gras
We thought the size of the foie gras will be something like the scallops above. So we were really amazed by the generous portion of foie gras given. Probably it's a little too much and too rich, so we gotta share the portion with each other.. Overall it was mediocre.





Main Course: Pan Seared Salmon 
The salmon was cooked to perfection - very tender and the skin was crisp enough!





Main Course: Roasted Chicken Breast
Was expecting the meat to be tough but surprisingly it was quite tender. But this dish was unremarkable as the taste was not great.




Dessert: White Chocolate Mousse 




Dessert: White Chocolate Panna Cotta 



Overall the food and dessert here were decent, nothing to rave about. Service was good from the reception staff but not the server staff. If you want to find a slightly better restaurant with adequate food at Raffles Place area, you can consider this place.

What is a Restaurant Week? 

Dining in a high quality restaurant is generally an expensive affair, but during the Singapore Restaurant Week (A short 1 week only), you get to enjoy an exquisite meal but at a more affordable price. High quality restaurants will serve a special 3-course set dinner for a fixed price of S$35++* and 3-course set lunch for $25++*. Note: Only available twice a year!

*For restaurants awarded with a DiningCity star, the additional charge of $15++ for lunch and $20++ for dinner is applicable.
