With CHEF JAVIER RODRIGUE |
- With their friendly Chef - RODRIGUEZ from Cordoba,Argentina - ( At the end of our main course,he came out from the kitchen to served us his Signature Desserts to made a quick introduction on his cooking using the grilling method - special charcoal at high temperature ! ;-) )
Since it was our 1st Tastings - both my good regular lunch partner - KIE & myself was looking forward to check out this trendy Decorated with mostly Black & White colored walls,mirror,lighting with bottles !!! ;-)
On the LOCATION - If U are Killiney Road,there's a row of shophouses with many Eats there,just watch out for a white colored PH signboard ( there's car parking on both sides of road or the hotel or Singtel nearby ! ) And at PH - you will enter from their BAR,
Butcher BAR for Dairy-Inspired Cocktails |
then to the Dining Side ( good usage for a pair of shophouses ! ) And since PH is newly opened - their Manager - Shellyna ( experienced in F&B from mostly 5 Star Hotels ! ) who provided excellent service & she introduced us their Menu and since we already read Geoffrey's review,she suggested :
- Enjoyed their House Bread ( Special Order with Duck Pate ) - Soft texture bread & good bite !!! ;-)
For our STARTERs - which was featured & suggested by both Geoffrey and also Shellyna - one of their Signature Eats -
Signature Appetiser - Ceviche Clasico ( $14 ) |
- "King Fish Tiradito - Marinated King Fish,Onions,Coriander,Corn & Red Cut Chilli - Enjoyed This Because It's Freshness of this Sliced Raw Fish ala Japanese Style but Marinated In Lime Juice & Fish Stock ! Tasted Refreshing & Appetizing !!! ;-)
And while waiting for the "Star Signature Main Course" ( that needed to marinate,slow cook & grilling process for at least 45 mins before serving - see below ! ) we decided to order & check out additional Starters in the "woody like" Menu !
- "Ox Tongue With Shallot,Vinaigrette Sauce & Rocket Salad" - Guessed after their Signature Starter,this was not so exciting but still tasty & appetizing !!! ;-)
Humita - ( $23 ) |
- "Humita - Grated Sweet Corn Stew With Fresh Cheese & Spring Onion Sauce" - Our 1st Time & Guessed It's Good For Those Who Enjoy Corn In Slightly Cheesy Taste ! ;-)
And for my future Re-Visits - besides their above Starters,it will be a good idea to "balance with a healthy request for more Salads especially if your Main Course will be a meaty one !" ;-)
Here's their Star Signature - Main Course ( which was also featured by Geoffrey and which both of us were looking forward to taste !!! )
- "1.2 kg Argentinean Asado With Oven Roasted Cherry Tomato & Chimichurri" - Best to Order This & Share & Enjoy This ! Liked The Way It's Presented & Served On The Wooden Board & Also Impressed Especially The Size Of It !!! But I'm Still Wondering If There Was A Difference In Both Quality & Taste-Wise Because I Realised Our Order Was Imported From Argentina Vs Geoffery's Review Was From Australia - For Our Order Vs Geoffrey's - It Wasn't Really Grilled To Perfection Because Certain Parts Needed To Be Grilled Again As It Was A Bit Too Rare !!! Anyway It Could Be PH Is Newly Opened So Will Do A Re-Visit To Check This Out Again !!! So My Ratings : 7/10
For DESSERTS - since it was our 1st Time ( and anyway the Menu for this,it's actually limited for this ! ) so we left it to Shellyna to recommended for our Tasting :
Traditional Dessert - Arroz con Leche - ( $12 ) |
- "Chocolate & Nuts Tart With Pistachio Sauce" - Enjoyed this !!! ;-)
Will definitely do Re-Visits ( probably not so soon since PH is only opened a month ago so with some fine tuning works & the Chef may introduce more interesting Eats ! And recently i really enjoy too much "meaty" eats !!! ;-) ) to check out their Daily Set Lunch Menu and also other Signature Eats - Grilled Wagyu,PorterHouse Steak & others that Chef Rodriguez suggested to us !!! Also need to read up more of South American Eats too !!! And since it was lunch yesterday we also didn't have the good opportunity of having a look at their Wine List !!! Btw there's a VIP Room cum Wine Cellar - seating capacity : 8 pax for small party celebration !
Finally i enjoy the location / shophouse bistro concept & also i am happy to add another Fav Eats to enjoy and recommend all my good Foodie Friends !!! ;-)
Cheers & Enjoy !!!
