Last night we went to Picotin for the 2nd time, our 1st visit back in December last year was good, so we were hoping to repeat the experience with Shan's birthday.

We were thrilled that the huge chalk board was now populated with numerous yummy temptations! It made choosing what to have harder than before.

Do try:

- the onion soup (specials board) and the lobster bisque (menu)

- the little local oysters which went for S$1.30 each were surprisingly good, fresh out of the sea. and it was a small manageable size for those who don't relish palm sized oysters.

- venison stew (on the specials board), had to take my friend's word for it, it was yummy. but the beet root side was too much for her.

- the rack of lamb (specials board) got a thumbs up from my foodie friend. crisp on the outside, and oozing with rich goodness on the inside.

- the fellabella pizza that came with the 'little ponies' (kid's meal) was good. the pizza's here are reliable.

Don't need to try:

- the lamb shoulder / tagine  (in the main menu) was gamey, it's good for those who enjoy gamey lamb, but not for me.

- the king prawn pasta (on the specials board) was chewy, like it had sat out a little too long. the prawns were generous but we couldn't get past half the serving.

First time:

There is a Bundaberg Rum and Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, the former is obviously rum, and the latter does root beer, ginger beer and the like, so don't get the 2 of them confused! I ordered a Bundaberg ginger beer or root beer, I got a Bundaberg rum and ginger beer cos that was what Sebastian thought I'd meant! It was the first time for us both, I guess you do learn something new everyday. :-)

Note:

There are smoking tables immediately to the left side of the main stand, please don't sit near these glass tops tables if you no don't enjoy inhaling cigarette smoke through your meal.

Take a quick glance over the bill before you toss in your credit card... just in case...

Kumxia Picotin for another good evening.
