Symmetry - Dinner menu

TGIF!!!

After a whole week of school, chores, boring stuff.. the weekends are finally here and i can't believe i'm blogging about FOOD again, hahahaha! Boy, we really are food-people. Anyway, we went to Symmetry today! Since it was recommended by a friend and the previous time we went they were FULL! says something, does'nt it?

A little quaint restaurant at a place where parking is so freaking difficult to find, is what i'd describe the overall place as... but apart from the parking, i think the restaurant itself is a pretty cozy place :D

#OOTD At the entrance of Symmetry! Disclaimer: No makeup, no filter, lighting wasn't really good either, so pardon the quality!

Mini-bar inside the restaurant

Pretty little decorations at the windows

Small open kitchen and "MUST TRYs!"

Their layout's pretty simple! No fancy menu with hard-to-understand Italian descriptions like... "salade d'endives aux noix et bleu" *??????*

 I guess, although yummy, hot and fresh bread as a complimentary starter is always a good way to start the meal... and it was a lilttle weird not receiving that here, but at least their grapes were nice and cold and SWEET! Something new for a change? A* for their creativity, but i still prefer bread.. OR HOW ABOUT BOTH??? :D okay being too greedy... either way's good!

Grapes on crushed ice -- Complimentary starter

 So.. Since the four of us, my mom, jesslyn, Jet (her boyf) and i went together, we kinda whooped the menu, ordering four extremely different main courses. That would entitle us to a good gauge of their standards, no?

Mine : Baby Spatchcock (male chicken) with roasted root vegetables! the chicken was barely cooked, and by that i meant that the meat wasn't dry AT ALL. In fact, a little too 'bouncy' for my liking, but definitely a great dish! you know how easy it is to screw up roast chicken right? 1 minute too long and the whole thing turns dry and yucky cause there really isn't much sauce or anything.. Still an overall great dish -- 4/5 !

Baby Spatchcock -- $32 (price slightly steeper as it is a relatively larger portion )

Mom's : I don't eat fish so... no comments on this from me, but everyone at the table LOVED it! it was served with a cheesy potato gratin-like side (I succumb to any sort of good potato #biased), which was really interesting! the cream sauce had bacon in it as well and C'MON.. WHO DOESN'T LOVE BACON??? it just gave the whole dish an extra kick, YUMMY -- 4.5/5

Cod -- $28

 Jet's: Jet's duck leg was served with some foie gras which elevates the whole dish and brings it to the next level! The dish originally came with risotto but Jet didn't fancy it so he changed it to fries instead! Their fries were amazing!!! If their normal fries already taste this good, i can't imagine what their truffle fries will be like!! Yummy dish if not for the slight small portion :( -- 3.5/5

Duck Leg -- $28

Jesslyn's: Braised pork cheeks were soft, tender, lean and tasty! YUM YUM! I never liked my meat soft-soft like that, but it was really tasty and GOOD! Jie said the pork was a bit too porky which she didn't enjoy. It's a little hard to describe what she meant but I think it's like a stronger meat smell? Imagine the taste of lamb as compared to beef, lamb does have a stronger "smell" right? Also, I know it looks like a pile of veggie there... but it actually goes well with the pasta and tightens the dish. Especially since it was cream cause based so it kinda makes the dish less "jelak".. 3/5!

Pork Cheeks Pasta -- $26

With that said, we were toooo full for dessert! They had a rather small selection of dessert which nothing that WOWed us upon first look anyway, so we decided to skip that and went to watch '3 peas in a pod' instead. Speaking of that movie, have you guys watched it?

Its a really good movie with some humour and romance, not gonna spoil it for you guys but its good! trust me :D the storyline is simple and sweet yet interesting enough for me to consider it a good movie, go watch go watch!

I recommend Symmetry for those who are craving FRIES because their fries were really awesome!! Smelling the truffle aroma all over the restaurant... DAMN, makes me regret not ordering a portion for myself >.< but do check them out, and remember to make a reservation as they're quite popular! By popular I mean like.. better call at least 3 days in advance kind.. We tried calling a day before/going as walk-in customers for the past 3 Fridays and didn't get a seat so this time we kiasu a bit and called 1 week in advance!
