Star View Restaurant, New World Park

Last year, we had a good birthday dinner in Sesame in G Hotel. This year, we thought of something simple and decided to try on Star View which had moved from Burmah Road to New World Park some time early October.

Before the decision, I got to know from What2See’s post that Star View will be shifting and with the help from Lingzie whom provided the contact and also had done a review, we decided to give it a try.

Perhaps I was over expecting some delicious turnout from Star View, ended up I was a bit disappointed.

Anyway, Star View is famous for their fish steamboat and other dishes too. During wedding peak month, this place is always full. Some got to make arrangement a year ago.

For a start, we had this Four Season, which comprises of

1. Spring Roll skin that wraps with duck egg yolk, fish paste and chives.

2. Fish balls with crab meat sauce & egg.

3. Black pepper stripe pork meat.

4. Butter prawns with curry leafs.

5. Chinese version of potatoes salad

2nd dish that came along was Almond Crispy Chicken. This is the disappointing one, as we thought the chicken meat will be intact unfortunately it was removed and what beneath the skin is fish paste.

3rd dish is my favourite, vegetables. A simple stir fry vegetables.

4th dish is Birthday Noodle. They called it 海鮮煎生麵. It was a bit soggy for my liking.

5th dish is Steam Fish. The fish was nice and fresh. And this is the best among the 5 dishes that they have recommended in fact. But I was wondering why not the Birthday Noodle come last instead of second. Right?

Anyway, overall the taste still the same, probably that night they have a wedding reception on the other hall thus the standard was slightly affected. Or probably short handed on the kitchen side, that causes such situation.

Hey, I have the same question too. The noodle dish suppose to be served as the last, not huh?
Christina Kim said…
Hmmm....I know about that noodle dish, coz they did the same thing during my daddy's birthday 2 years ago (different restaurant). They explained that is the norm wor...
Whatever...

Btw, if I want to dine in Starview, I must make reservations? What if I wanna try a normal ala carte meal?:)

I am determined to go back, despite hearing that the quality is not really on par with the early days! I want the 8-course meal, the chicken, the four seasons, the works!

You are fast lor...I have yet to visit their new outlet to try out the food. Nice of you to share your review with us.

Do you find the old place better or this new one?

The almond crispy chicken looks good, but too bad it turned out the other way round...

Go to this kind of restaurant for a review, must go with a whole big group of food bloggers. Show them our "Guns" [Digital Camera la ... what are you thinking ....] and they will be like making the dish look nicer and cook in more proper way.

haha, somehow email2me's words ring true. nothing intimidates a restaurant more than a bunch of foodies (or reporters/reviewers), with their artilleries.

I know they used to be quite famous for really good food but I've not been there for years!
The trick to doing reviews is not to have high expectations so that we won't be sorely disappointed when the food is below par.
