Had reunion dinner with the boyf's extended family. We went in a big group, about 40 of us. Members-exclusive only, so the ambiance was good, not crowded and definitely a comfortable place to dine in. Food was definitely of good quality, except the Yu Sheng, which had a bitter after taste. After investigating, it turned out to be the coriander that contributed to that bitter after taste. What mattered was that when we gave feedback about the bitter taste, the waitresses keep denying at first, that there was something not very right about the dish. We had to ask every table of our guests and had majority agree that that there was the bitter after taste, that the restaurant was willingly to find out what gave that taste. Other than this small incident, the overall dining experience was good for a first-timer like me.

If you happen to dine here, don't forget to try their yummy red bean pancake - not too sweet but sweet enough to mark a sweet end to your visit :)

In spite of its beautiful grounds, there's no point in joining SICC unless you play golf: The club facilities are decent, but it's really out of town. However, the dining is top among Singapore clubs, and we're pleased anytime we get invited to Silk, for it compares favourably with the better Cantonese restaurants in Singapore - amazing to find such quality in a private club, really. Nothing terribly creative, just quite refined, reliable and solid. Good wine list. Competent service.
