Damatory @ Robertson Quay

Damotory, situated along the Singapore River, you have an option to choose to sit indoors on tatami (Korean style) seats or on wooden benches for an indoor picnic dining experience or enjoy the night breeze with al fresco dining.

 

The setup of the eatery gave me a very authentic feel when I entered. At the store front you will think it is just an exclusive bar, however exploring deeper, you will be welcome with the various kind of seating. 

The place just litted up with enough lightings from the natural resources, it may get a little warmer in the late afternoon at about 2-3pm but do not fear.
The service staff upon request will specially prepare a strong standing fan for you.

The night service are usually pack with groups of people be it for gathering, catch up or chillax moments. (Do make reservations before heading down.)

The food are usually cooked, it does not require you to DIY bbq, but just make orders...
It ranges from seafood pancakes to spicy rice cakes to spicy chicken wings and even to cold meat platter. Of course without missing out kimchi!
(Their kim chi served are still crunchy and juicy bringing out the sweetness.) 

The food serves all walks of life, if you can take spiciness try their spicy chicken
(may be quite spicy for some), if you are bringing kids along do ask for a plate with the sauce separated. 

The service crew are very attentive, alert and well dressed! They help to make us feel home when are dining there and also recommending the food that we should try, as its our first time there. 

I was given a chance to tried it and I be back for more. If you are just plain looking for Korean family style food, this is where you should be coming!

Roosevelt’s Diner & Bar

Looking for a dining venue to hype up your appetite for dinner on a weeknight after a long and tiring work day. Here's a cafe near Outram Park Mrt, easily accessible. (Exit H escalator, on the right)

Was greeted with a large bottle of alcohol label at the display window, thought it was just another plain boring bar to drink in, I was wrong. 

It is rather a romantic place where the lights are warm and dim, just gives you a cool and cozy feeling. They have a great welcoming team and rather good choice of English pop music to lighten and perks each individual mood's up. 

Sweet and Rose Wine (Moscato)

Happy hour between 5pm to 8pm  (1 for 1) for those who loves to pair their dinner with wine / liqueur, you shouldn't miss this opportunity. 

Japanese Sesame Salad

The salad is refreshing and light, the salad dressing complemented the silky tofu. Having the various fresh vegetables giving its crunch and  the juice, it filled my whole palate. Opening up my appetite for the other savory food. =)

BBQ Baby Back Ribs

When the baby back ribs was served, the aroma of the dish fills the whole cafe leaving a tinkling feeling in the nose requesting for a second sniff. With the mixed gardens vegetables, it added color to the dish. 

Taking the first bite of the pork, it is so tender and yet juicy at the same time.
(Usually, bbq meat are dry and tough). The greens blended well with the meat providing a balance in taste with the sweetness from the meat and clearing your palate after each mouthful. The meat is so well prepared that separating them from the bones wasn't an issued. I was really tempted to order a second helping!

*It seems that this is their most popular dish among their patronizers*

Smoked Salmon Waffle

All meals usually comes to a close with dessert! So if you are like me, who love crunchy waffles, you should try this. The maple Greek yogurt neutralize the saltiness from the smoked salmon giving a wholesome taste. 

As I observed, the team made an effort to make their dishes as wholesome and as well balanced as possible. Plating with enough colors playing with our appetite, and giving sides like greens to give the different texture ('it makes you feel healthier too'). 

*who says waffle can't be served with salad, they did it* 

It gets real busy after 7.30 pm and seating capacity are quite limited, I would recommend to make a reservation before dropping by. Do not try walking in. This venue is pretty suitable for groups gathering! Though their service crew dressed pretty casual, but they look neat and order, and being attentive and alert to their patronizers is another plus point. 

Averagely this place ranges about S$30 per pax.
