Fine Dining at Aerin's in Raffles Marketplace



Three of us, my boy, hubby and I were again deciding what's the best to pick for our meal. I jokingly suggested, for once, why not let's walk into the donut shop and order all the yummy donuts to take them as our dinner. I thought, there's not going to be a better chance to eat so many donuts at one go if it's not during a main meal time. Both of them straightaway stared at me in disbelief and said "No". My boy replied: "Main meal time must have savoury stuffs so not something like donuts. No way."

In the end, walking around the basement of Raffles Marketplace in Raffles City Shopping Centre for two rounds but still couldn't make up our minds. We were spoilt for choices - so many eateries. We finally narrowed down to three restaurants, Din Tai Fung, Kuriya or Aerin's. In the end, we walked into Aerin's. Good choice, no complaints.

Very good ambience (very important to us). Chic dining in a modern European gorgeous open setting.

Chargrilled Lamb Rump
(Half-done marinated grilled lamb served with onion braised, mashed fried bean & chipotle & aioli).
Recommend must have it half done - very juicy.

















Fish & Chips
(Lightly battered snapper fillet served with shoestring fries and sauce)

This is their "must try" dish.

Yes, really very different from the one we have tried in many other restaurants.

Not only the fish is superb, even the fries is very well done.




Bangers and Mash
(herbs & garlic English pork
sauages with mashed potatoes
in beef juz)




Baked apple & rhubarb pie with vanilla bean ice-cream.
(Pot of oven baked granny smith apples, rhubarb and raisins, all covered in an oven-baked puff pastry, served with vanilla ice cream).
This is their house speciality dessert - Another "must try" item.




The fillings is pipping hot.
Do dip or spread some ice-cream with the crush & fillings to savour it. Yummmmy!
