MY PHOTOS REALLY MEGA EXTREMELY DO THE FOOD HERE NO JUSTICE.
These are classic examples of how i have to continue improving but anyway, i'd like to share whatever I have with you and this time we go to Platters!
Platters has an interesting concept of rotating chefs every 3-4 months and when I visited, the chef was Chef Yen Koh. The food was served on wooden boards, in very interesting arrangements. How did they taste? Really Really Good.

| Let's Graze seared rib eye with pepper yuzu sauce / butter-glazed asparagus and carrots / roasted honey chef yen’s hot wings with spicy sauce / almond and pretzel crusted chicken / marinated tomatoes - S$ 38 / S$74 |
Trying to take good photographs at Platters have made me realized how spoilt I have been with good lighting at the other places. I'm not saying the lighting here isn't good for the ambience, but for a rookie like me? Urgh, a disaster. I was a complete failure and these are my "trying" best ones.
BUT ANYWAY, you can choose between having the half board or the full board, that's where the prices differ. It's a good idea to me cos it caters to different sizes of groups.
The meats were a little too dry for my liking, especially since I like my beef medium rare. I did love the almonds with the chicken because they complemented each other so well! I am not a huge fan of nuts so I was pleasantly surprised to find that i liked it.
Every time I see tomatoes, I always wish they were Roma tomatoes. These weren't so meh, mini personal disappointment. Everything else was pleasant and tasteful. I would give it a 6/10 (?). I'm not too good at ratings but I've had quite a few people requesting that I give ratings so I might just starting rating stuff.............as and when I can actually put a number to it.

| Salmon Symphony salmon belly tartar / seared salmon tataki / green espuma / orange basil dressing / crispy white bait / kelp sprinkle / fresh cabbage coleslaw / toasted foccacia - S$34 / S$64 |
This amazing bunch of things was my favourite of the night. The salmon tataki was smooth, sweet and incredibly tasty. Take a pinch of the green espuma, spread it across the foccacia and taste the goodness in that because I could basically just eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Simple, satisfying and delicious. Foccacia bread was delectable, crunchy and fragrant. The crispy white bait was dismissible because I hardly like fried stuff anymore. I would give this platter a 7/10.

| Lindemans Krief / Fruit Lambic - S$ 10/ 12 |
This, on the other hand, was fruity and a real delight!
It's a real pussy beer if you ask me but who's judging?
Chef Yen Koh will only be around till Oct (not too sure when) so if you wanna have a go at these dishes before the menu changes, do go quick! Platters is extremely popular during the weekends, so be sure you give a call to make reservations!
On the whole, I really enjoyed myself, soaking in the ambience and the company I had. The food didn't exactly disappoint either!
