Feels like a Saturday

Surrounded by idllyic scenery, Il Lido at the Sentosa Golf Club is the perfect place for a Friday lunch to unwind. It felt more like a Saturday than a Friday. Away from the hustle of the city, I feel a sense of calm wash over me as I take in the views.

 
The highlight of the meal was the attentive service. Our waiter served us with a smile and was very accommodating of certain food restrictions my dining partner had. 


Since none of the savoury dishes really stood out in terms of taste, I'll just let the pictures do the talking for these and jump straight to the divine dessert.


Dessert: Hazelnut Coulant with Gianduja Gelato

The warm sponge encases a hidden melty secret that oozes out. Well balanced without an overpowering sweetness, this was a dessert I throughly enjoyed despite having only a few mouthfuls due to an already crammed gut. The hazelnut was a refreshing change to the usually cloying molten chocolate centre I had come to expect. The gianduja gelato, once again a pleasant surprise from the usual vanilla bean served, struck a distinct contrast against the warm melty centre and I found my foodie heart melting just that little bit more. 

The food was decent but it's the dessert coupled with the ambience and service I'd return for.
