On Sunday it rained. All Day. So what do you do in Singapore when it rains? Well, you either shop, or you eat... and there's no prizes for guessing which one the Greedy Gluttons chose to do.
We grabbed our umbrellas and took a cab up to Dempsey Hill (and no we weren’t there for the teak shops). It was a little early for dinner when we arrived so we stopped off to kill some time over a couple of beers in the fab Hacienda bar before heading on to the meat-tastic The Prime Society.
We started off with some Lemon Salt & Pepper Calamari, which was a little disappointing (bland and slightly too chewy),
but really we should have known - the only thing to eat in Prime Society is steak. We naturally obliged and ordered up a Sirloin each - a 160g with herb butter for me, and a 220g with blue cheese butter for my greedier other half.
I'm pleased to say they were a 100% improvement on the calamari starter. Served on oak plank boards, they had been cooked to specification and the butter accompaniment enhanced the flavour without overpowering. The accompanying vegetables had also been cooked perfectly, and were a worthy companion.
A word of praise too is due to the waiting staff, who have obviously been well trained and were attentive, smiling and polite.
Ah yes, a juicy rare steak and a few glasses of red wine... the perfect antidote to a miserable Sunday afternoon... and certainly beats walking round a shopping mall any day....
