It is the time of the month where we try to eat a little luxuriously. What we realize is that not all expensive stuff are always good and worth its value.
1. Miyoshi
This place was frigging expensive. We went for the set lunch. It was good, but definitely not worth the hundreds we were paying. At that price point, we would have a lot of options that gave better bangs for our bucks. The lobster was fresh and slain on the spot, but given that it was cooked in a broth, the freshness honestly wouldn't change the flavor of the dish much. Ambience was great, but not a place I would go again given that it was quite out of the way at Sentosa.
2. Shashlik
I have been here multiple times. I kind of like how it is located at the top level of the worn Far East Shopping Centre. When you walk in through their doors, it brings you into another world. There is an old retro western charm to it. Most of their staff are quite aged, so we tend to speak Mandarin to them. For frequent customers (not us yet), they would even engage you in chit-chat like old friends. There is something warm about this place.
The food is absolutely delicious. I swear I aim to eat every single item on the menu. Nothing has ever disappoint me to me. My favourite is Borshch soup and bone marrow. I never miss their desserts cos I love their flame show. In terms of price, you will end up around S$100+ per pax but I am fine with the bill because it is worth every penny.
3. Atlas Bar
This place isn't named the top bar in the world for nothing. It is drop-dead gorgeous. Tourists and influencers come here to take photos. It screams opulence and feels outside of Singapore. It was so hard to get a seating so we had to settle for weekday lunch. The food is alright and so is the price. The alcohol was not cheap, but the cocktail was positively the best I had ever. I could have drank myself silly if I didn't have to pay. I don't think you should come for the food. But one thing for sure, I know I am coming back whenever I need a drink. *Winks*
