Bazin is one of those that lines the sidewalk of
MBS – particularly tempting for passers-by who peep in every now and
then. Marketed as a place that serves oriental European delights and a
good view of CBD, I liked the décor of the place
– blue with ornate structures.
Menu.
Packed.
I possibly got bored of waiting and waiting...and waiting.
The cosy corner.
Savoury Steam Baked Barramundi with Fennel ($28)
Tangy pacific barramundi fillet, fennel, tomato, lemon, coriander seed, steam bake herbs, white wine, potatoes
This was the first to arrive and the height
illusion caused by balancing the fillet on the bed of baby potatoes
revealed a disappointing thin fillet. There was an acquired taste about
it, not too huge a fan though. Potatoes were barely
marinated, blanched at best.
Spicy Lamb Kebabs were out of stock so I picked Stuffed Chicken Roulade with Saute Spring Vegetables ($25)
Two chicken rolls stuffed with tomatoes and spinach. Chicken marrow was cooked as part of the dish – a
gesture I somehow do not greatly appreciate. Tender chicken no doubt but
the dish was not great. Nothing too Euro-oriental that I would die for
over and over again. I guess that is the setback
of not picking a signature. The sourish cream sauce that came with it, I
gladly mopped up.
They are clearly understaffed with service staff
dashing around so much but getting the attention of one is beyond
difficult the moment they get you into the restaurant and seated down.
The orders took forever to be taken, drinks as well…food
was served up at odd timings – after one was completed, the other took
yet another universe of time. Tempers did fray across tables because of
this. The only saving grace is having the bills recharged to another
credit card without complaints.
A return? I doubt so.
