Following a friend’s recommendation, me and Sas headed down to Relish to try their burgers. The restaurant is located on the 2nd storey of Cluny Court, at a rather quiet part of the building. The whole upper floor seems almost deserted when we got there, and we only saw one other couple inside the restaurant. Actually neither of us knew that an upper floor existed in the first place.
The ambience of the restaurant is quite good, dimly lit for that relaxing atmosphere. Sas liked the fact that the place has high ceiling, giving a more spacious feel.
We both had burgers, the main offerings at Relish together with a selection of pasta. I had the Bleu Cheese with Pear burger while Sas had the Seafood Lemon one. Can’t remember the exact names of these burgers at the moment. The portion were adequate (we both had the 180g patties), and the burgers were served with either salad or fries. My Bleu Cheese burger was good – the beef patty cooked to my preference of ‘medium well’, and the sautéed pear was an interesting mix to the dish. Sas liked her burger too. (However I find the seafood patty taste a little like Thai fishcake due to the lemongrass used). For about $18 per plate it was quite value for money. They also serve burgers with interesting local twist, such as the char siew burger and Ram-lee burger.
The crowd started to flow in after 7.30pm, and by the time we left the place was more than half filled. We noticed that the crowd there tend to be older, with the average age of patron of about 35 years old.
Overall it was a good meal, and Sas enjoyed it even more because Wednesday is ‘Ladies Night’, which means that ladies get free dessert with every meal. We might drop by again to try their weekend brunch menu, but that would be another post.
