Eest creates a new culinary
experience of South East Asia by representing its basic life elements…
AMBIENCE: The decor is modern with
an Asian influence. The restaurant design integrates the interactive glass show
kitchens with multiple and private table booths and an exclusive private dining
area, ensuring the venue is a visual feast.
WHAT’S ON OFFER? Chinese, Japanese, Thai
and Korean with five private dining rooms, tea bar, a large semi-private main
dining room and a private sushi bar are on offer. Having a penchant for soups,
I truly enjoyed Chef Chia’s wholesome and utterly delectable seafood dumpling
soup. Eest also incorporates very good sea-food under its Oriental Umbrella. No
other restaurant does the stir fried prawns to such magical effect. Fragrant,
crispy and flavoursome, they are wonderful. If a light meal is what you want,
the sushi and sashimi selection is excellent, deftly prepared by the chef. Not
much has been left unsaid about Thai food but there seems to be a special touch
in the dishes here. The steamed fish is supremely good and underscores the Thai
way of using spices, enough but not too much and altogether like an exotic
perfume. Another highlight is the traditional set course lunch menu under each
section. The fragrant green tea ice cream here is one of the best in town.
Contemporary Oriental cuisine shows off the chef’s innovation with excellent
service that Westin is well-known for.
