For us, a nice long lunch usually means a trip to Gordon's Grill for their very affordable and generously portioned set lunches.
I took my parents to Gordon's Grill last month. My father, upon reading the menu, reeled in wonder at the number of choices he could make and got very excited. Gordon's Grill is great for the indecisive or, like us, the very greedy, with a choice of 3 appetisers, 3 soup samplers and 2 desserts.
My favourite of the appetisers has to be the cold angel hair pasta. Topped with marinated king crab and black caviar and tossed in white truffle oil, this appetiser is a delicious way to start a meal and is a very exciting precursor of more good things to come.
The wagyu beef carpaccio and foie gras are melt-in-your-mouth winners too.
The soups were also very tasty and very interesting. We like how Gordon's Grill tries to inject something exciting about each sampler. The french onion soup comes topped with an onion cake frosted in melted cheese. The mushroom soup hints of capuccino and is crowned in parmesan foam. The lobster bisque, though, is fuss-free but also so wickedly tasty that it is easily the best lobster bisque we have ever sampled.
The team at Gordon's Grill love their foie gras. And we love that they love it too. We love that they seem to know we can never get enough of foie gras. We had it as an appetiser and again atop the roasted jumbo quail and kurobuta burger patty.
But the star of our main dishes has to be the truffle mayo that came with the kurobota burger. Thickly cut chips in insuperably fragrant truffle-flavoured mayo. It was no wonder I finished the chips first before I started on the burger.
The desserts were definitely not the stars of the meal but they did bring a sweet note to the close of our meal. Like with their soups, Gordon's Grill serves up the usual dessert offerings with a twist. I really enjoyed the mango-flavoured creme brulee paired with armagnac ice cream. But I may have been biased. Mango is one of my favourite tropical fruits.
At the end, we were served our choice of coffee. I really like that the coffees came with brown sugar lollis. I have always been fascinated by these brown sugar lollis and recently found them for sale in packets of 5 in TWG.
Gordon's Grill never fails to deliver a delicious and very enjoyable set lunch. The restaurant is also relatively uncrowded and makes a great place for a languid and quiet lunch with family. It has easily made it as our go-to place for hearty, lazy, artery-clogging and all that comes with a very good Sunday lunch.
Good food
