Senso, Singapore

Senso is a bit of a Singapore institution.  Established in 2000,  Senso is an unofficial pioneer in the Singaporean fine-dining scene.  All my Singaporean friends have been to Senso on dates.

Housed in a converted shophouse, the ambience sure is atmospheric.  The restaurant is just a 5-min walk from Telok Ayer subway station.  Right next to the restaurant is the financial district.

When I dined during lunch on a Tuesday,  the restaurant was doing brisk business,  mostly bankers,  big bosses and a couple of expat wives.

Gamberoni S$28

Sauteed King Tiger Prawns, Eggplant mousse, “Raw & Cooked” Vegetables, Crustacean sauce

It was a colourful plate and the prawns were firm and seared.

Carpaccio Di Manzo S$28

Beef Carpaccio, Aioli, Rucola Pesto, Parmesan, Radish, Frisee Salad

Ticks all the right boxes.

Filetto Di Merluzzo S$44

Cod fillet, Carrot Puree, Purple Cauliflower, Creamy Polenta, Chianti Reduction

The poisson was fresh and free of any fishy taste and smell.  The presentation was colourful.

Tiramisu “Senso” S$14

The service works,  works,  works.  They are energetic,  fast and really know what they are doing.  They also seem quite genuinely warm.  I can see why so many business people choose to dine here.
