Outdated Post: East 8

After i tried east 8 during the restaurant week 2013, i fall in love with their foods. I highly recommend my friends to go there. So during my Xmas gathering with pri sch friends, we went there!

I made reservation before going as i was afraid they might be full. Apparently, seems like not much people go there for dinner. I believe it is because they serve tapas - when u heard tapas (yes the food portions are small). Around 8+, the crowd starts coming.

We ordered quite a few dishes, like 60% of the menu. hehe.

Complimentary of cocktails for each pax. Yellow Cap.

Oysters! The oysters are so fresh that i dont need any tabasco or lemon. We ordered a dozen of it!

Hamachi - 1 of my fav! Must order! We ordered 2 too!

Yuzu Soy beef - this is good as well!

Pork Cheek. This is normal, but if you like pork cheek you can order it. It melts in your mouth!

Prawn Paste Crispy Chicken - i dont find this special. If to compare, i'd prefer ice cold beer chicken wings. :)).

My top fav of the night! Chilean Seabass! You must really try this, esp eating the seabass with the sauce. Im missing this now. :(

Mussels in sake broth. You can taste the sake broth in every mussel, plus the mussels are well cooked! Other than the New Harbour Cafe beer broth clams, this is the best i tried!

Chicken Wings! At 1st bite im like nothing special, as i continue eating the flavour comes out... I like the combination of lime and chilli. I dont mind to eat this again!

Wedges - Normal.

Sake Sangria - cannot really taste the alcohol. hahahaha.

Dessert time!

Chocolate Pot

Banana Fritters

Actually the dessert is normal. :). But try eating the chocolate pot together with the banana. You wont go wrong with chocolate and banana right?! My pri sch friend likes it! hehehe.

We like the foods! But i will go there after dinner the next time because i have pretty huge appetite. hahahhaha! I am aiming the hokkaido scallops next. hehe.

Restaurant Week October 2013

Restaurant Week October 2013 falls on the week we went Bangkok, so we have limited to choose.. YL and me love Restaurant Week! You get to try higher end restaurants foods at a lower cost. Of course you dont get to choose. They will come up with a Restaurant Week menu for you to choose.

YL chose East 8 this round as she saw good reviews. And i wanted to try Bull and Butcher at Plaza Singapura, i asked my colleagues if they want to go since YL can't go. hahahahaha.

East 8 Restaurant :)

This is the Restaurant Week Lunch Menu.

Both of us had the Rocket salad w Pear. Because im allergic to prawns.
This salad is very refreshing! I like it that it has the sweetness from the pear, mild bitterness from the rocket salad and the taste of pine nuts. Simple ingredients but satisfying.

I chose the Salmon for my mains.

I would say the salmon is normal, but the mashed is delicious!

YL had the duck confit.

It is soooo delicious!!! I swear it is the best i ever had! The skin is crispy while the meat is very tender! Both of us like this alot. Im still missing this~~~ The person said this is only available during lunch time.
