This time round, we headed to B @ Rochester for our dinner. The last time we came here was to celebrate our 1st year anniversary (when we were still pator-ing). Fast forward several years later, we arrived here as a married couple :)
Don't be deceived by its colonial outlook. B @ Rochester is actually a modern Japanese restaurant & bar. The restaurant is helmed by Chef Joseph, who has worked in various restaurants (Shima Restaurant @ Goodwood Park Hotel, Meritus Mandarin Hotel & Majestic Restaurant) in his decade of professional experience. He is widely advocated for his impeccable infusion of diverse culture into Japanese cuisine.
Let's get the night started!
From the outside, this is the only tell-tale sign that this is a Japanese restaurant.

Waiting for our food.
We ordered salmon & tuna to kick-start the evening. Salmon slices were thick & fresh, much to my delight!
3 course dinner was priced at $35 per person, we started the course with a complimentary entree - mixed kinoko of enoki, shitake and shimeji, mixed mesclun, yakiniku dressing. In short, a mushroom dish which I enjoyed tremendously.
Next came the starter, which was a seafood combination of baked diver scallop with cod roe, mayonnaise and swiss emmental cheese, spicy lemon soft shell crab with diced strawberry. I'm not a fan of (any) soft shell crab as I dislike the oily after-taste in my mouth. Scallop was juicy, but a tad salty.
2 choices of mains available, so we went with both: I went for alaskan black cod with akadashi miso, sauteed portobello & baby spinach. Leecher had rack of lamb with homemade black pepper sauce, sauteed portobello, arugula and fondant potato.
The mains were average in taste, nothing particularly wow-ed our taste buds.
Dessert came in the form of homemade warm bread and butter pudding (with vanilla sauce).
I wished we had time to linger on for a drink @ their bar, but we had to rush off for another appointment.
Strolling down to carpark area. You could literally walk in the middle of the road!

Got a shock while we entered the carpark area.
Wa, which car so garang go and bump against the barrier?
