Royal Host, Takashimaya/Ngee Ann City

Royal Host, Takashimaya/Ngee Ann City

Been curious about Royal Host since they opened at Jewel. These guys are retro styled Japanese western food...not unlike Ma Maison. This branch in town (#B2-25/26 Takashimaya Shopping Centre, 391 Orchard Road, tel : +65 6908 1339) was a lot more accessible.

Royal paradise tropical iced tea - tasted a little herbal. 

Royal Host, lobster bisque

Lobster bisque's decent. Portion was pretty small.

Royal Host, kale pesto pasta

This was an odd one; albeit an odd one which we enjoyed. A Genovese styled kale pesto spaghetti that's sprinkled with candied pecans and bits of biscuit which tasted like Marie biscuits. ðŸ˜¯ So amidst that pesto and creamy cheese, there's sweetness from those. I'd come back for this.

Royal Host, sparkling water

Sparkling water is available free flow for two bucks.

Royal Host, hamburg brown butter sauce
Royal Host, hamburg brown butter sauce

Their hamburg seemed to be a signature dish so we got one with brown butter sauce. Said sauce didn't exactly taste buttery - pretty sure there was beef stock with tomato and/or vinegar in it. Not bad tasting but we prefer the hambagu sans sauce because the meat tasted beefy. No fillers. Not bad. I like it more than the A5 omigyu one at Steak Sukadu.

Royal Host, hot fudge sundae

Hot fudge sundae was pretty awesome. Never had something like this since I was a kid at Swenson's. Style's pretty nostalgic. Though it even had the same candied pecan and bits of Marie biscuit like the kale pesto spaghetti. ðŸ˜¬
