Shiok has two sections - the restaurant and the lounge. The decor is nothing to go ga-ga over but still it is a nice place.
I have been to Shiok a number of times and can never find fault with their food. The folks who take the orders are very knowledgeable. I have gone with their recommendations and have not been disappointed.
I am not much of a soup person, so will not comment about the soups, although I did try it. For starters, my favorite is the chicken satay. I recently tried the chicken golden baskets and loved the taste. Anything on the menu that has the word “drunken” should definitely be tried! No, I am not an alcoholic :)
For the main course we had the Mee Goreng, Prawn stir fried noodles, and as accompaniments beef with chilli paste and prawns in chilli sauce. Make sure that you tell them how you want your food – sweet, sour, spicy…they will add the sauces to match your palate!
For Desserts- they do not boast of a large menu. But whatever little they have is good. One of my favorites here is the muskmelon sorbet. I have not tasted anything like this anywhere else. The tiramisu and chocolate mousse are also very good.
This spread will set you back by about 700 for 2 people.
