These are just some of the Actual Reviews of this Place on Google Maps. 🌏 Perhaps Overly Exaggerated, but it really intrigued me enough to come check it out. 🤔 Danga Bay isn't exactly a location famous for its Eateries, so this was a very welcome find indeed. 👍

Amusingly, some people on Google Map Reviews seem to have alot of trouble finding this place. 😅 Its located in the 2nd Floor of the Main Danga Bay Condo Sales Gallery Building. 🏢 Just take the Lift inside to 1F and the Restaurant is just nearby. You really can't miss it. 👍 You can refer to my Photos if you really need a Visual Guide. 📷

 
Interior of the Place

The Entrance to the Actual Restaurant itself is Beautifully Designed to really look like the Gate to some Enchanted Forest. 💐 As you step in, the Whole Place exudes a Very Atas Fine Dining Environment. ❤️ As you look out the Glass Windows, you can see the Seaside Beachfront of Danga Bay as you can see in my Video. 🎥 Absolutely Breathtaking View! ❤️

There weren't much Customers within on a Friday Afternoon when I was there but I didn't mind as I felt as if the Whole Place was for me to Enjoy hahaha! 😅 The Staffs which composed mostly of Pinoys were Friendly and Professional in their Mannerisms. 👍

The Factor that pushed me to give my Highest Score for this place ⭐

The Thing that impressed me the most was when I requested for All the Dishes I ordered to be served at the same time instead of the usual 1 at a time, they were REALLY all served to me at the same time! 😄 It took a total of 14 Mins for them to do so. Even the Coffee which is usually the 1st to be served waited until all the Dishes were ready before it was being made Fresh. ☕👍

This was Very Impressive because Firstly, it meant that the Serving Chap was actually attentive to what I requested. 🤵‍♂️👍 Secondly, not many Restaurants would actually cater to such a request as it can be hard to gauge when a Dish can be served as they may need different times to cook and prepare. 🕒🤔 It took a total of 14 Mins but all of the Dishes were Piping Hot when they were served together with a Smile. ❤️

To me, I consider this as Top Class Service. ⭐ Or Perhaps I was lucky because there weren't much Customers around so they could do this? 😅 Still, I appreciated that they were able to fulfill this request for me. 👍

🦐 Sea Prawn Linguini (with Chili, Prawn Oil & Basil) = RM36.00

Beautifully Presented, the first thing I noticed was a Very Appetizing Aroma of Mushrooms 🍄 and Herbs 🌿 wafting from it. Wonderfully Hot, the Dish was Oily but not Drenched in Oil. 油而不腻. 😋 Super Fragrant and the Noodles were not Super QQ Type but Soft and Tender in all the Right Ways.


Shrimp was cut into Small Pieces and are Firm to the Bite, not Nua Nua. 🦐😋 Mushroom Pieces were Beautifully Juicy and Spiced. 🍄😋 The Whole Dish has a Mild Spicy Heat to it and its not Super Spicy. 🌶️ It just had a very Atas Taste to it. This is not your typical Pastamania type of Pasta, also not easily replicated at Home. This is a High Level Tasting Restaurant Standard Plate of Linguini. 🍜

🦑 Torch Squid (Whole Squid, Lido Bay Salsa & Aioli) = RM38.00

Served in a Very Light Cream Sauce, I suppose this is the "Lido Bay Salsa" that is mentioned in the Menu. 🍯🤔 It almost taste like Mayo but its not, has a Very Complex Atas Taste to it. 😋

The Squid itself is a Big Chonky Boy and is Beautifully Barbequed to Perfection bringing out its Smokey Flavour. 🦑🔥 Bite Texture is Fresh and Bouncy and was Delightful when eaten with that Cream Sauce. 🍯😋

That said, some parts of the Squid can be abit too Charred especially the Tentacles and those Charred Bits can taste bitter so do remember to take care when eating that part. 🦑🤔 But overall on a whole, this is a Very Well Made Super Atas Plate of BBQ Squid. 👍

🍄 Mixed Mushroom Soup (Cream & Truffle Sense) = RM24.00

Super Smooth and Creamy and filled with Bits of Minced Mushrooms 🍄 and Herbs. 🌿 No Idea what is "Truffle Sense", is it Truffle Oil? 🤔 I don't know if this is using Real Truffle Oil but the Soup is very Uniquely Fragrant. 😋 Creamy but not Thick, this is True Mushroom Soup. Not a Cheap Canned Soup.

☕ Hot Coffee Black with No Sugar = RM12.00

While the Menu didn't state what type of Coffee this is, the Receipt says its "Americano". I'm not a Coffee Connoisseur but this has a Nice Deep Roasted Coffee Beans taste. 🔥🫘 Its Strong, but not the Smack you awake type of Strong, but you will feel the Caffeine. ☕👍 This also comes with a Small Mildly Sweet Crunchy Cookie with a Cranberry Center. 🍪

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

This place really is a Hidden Gem here in Danga Bay. 👍 I apologize if my Vocabularly is not good enough to describe how Good this Meal tasted. 😅 I'm also not the type that frequents Atas Fine Dining places regularly so I cannot really tell if this is truly considered Fine Dining or not. 😅

Everything about this place though really worked together in providing me with an Amazing Dining Experience. ❤️ The Lovely Restaurant Ambience, Beautiful Seaside View, 🏖️ the Excellent Professional Service and of course the Atas Tasting Food. 😋 I love it that the Food Portion are actually very Acceptable and Filling and not the Pretentious "Looks Atas but cannot fill the Stomach" type of Fine Dining Food. 😅

At the Total Combined Price of RM128.30 (S$37.00), this Whole Meal was Affordable. 👍 I can guarantee you that there is just no way you can get such an affordable price when you dine in a Similar Fine Dining Restaurant in Singapore for sure. 🇸🇬🤔

Personally I feel while this place is good for anyone to come visit, it is Especially Perfect for a Dating or Married Couple. 👩‍❤️‍👨 After a Meal here, go downstairs and enjoy a Nice Stroll alongside the Beautiful Danga Bay Beachfront 🏖️ and count the Stars in the Sky or whatever it is that Couples do. Hahaha! ✨😅 Highly Recommended! 👍
