The F&B director, Gabriel, swung by several times during our meal to see how we were getting on. The Brussels suya took a little while to turn up, but they compared favorably with the ones at Oyamel. The oxtail stew was probably our favorite dish of the night, and I wish it had been served with a spoon, because I’d have happily cleaned the bowl. The grilled octopus, king crab curry, and snapper in pepper broth were particular standouts with strong, balanced flavors. We got complimentary coco bread rolls, which were light and salty, and the seafood plateau showed up quickly. No photos, but the food we ordered was quite good. One of the service captains stopped by to apologize for the wait and offered us champagne, but given that we had just ordered a bottle of wine, we demurred. Our server finally came by, poured us water, and took our orders (a bottle of NZ pinot grigio, the seafood plateau, oxtail stew, and Brussels suya) after 15 minutes or so. There were some snafus with the menus-they gave the good doctor a dessert menu instead of the dinner menu, and we had to ask for a wine list-but then we were left alone. They finally called us in after 20 minutes of waiting, and we got a table next to the wall of windows that front the space. A couple of other parties apparently had similar issues as the bar area was jam-packed, so they joined us on the sofas outside of the restaurant. We were checked in promptly but not seated right away, so after standing around for a bit, we decided to sit in the Intercontinental’s lobby. Decided to go to the opening of Kith and Kin last night, so we grabbed a reservation for 7:15 PM and turned up around 7:10 PM.
