Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora

Date of visit: 17.11.2013

It was my kid sister's birthday and she decided to host dinner at Ocean Restaurant.

Thankful to her, cos' I don't think I'll ever bear to spend so much on a meal.

This fine dining restaurant is located inside S.E.A Aquarium.  The beautiful aquarium backdrop guaranteed a unique and memorable dining experience.

My kids got confused over the cluttered formal table setting.  Took this opportunity to teach my kids dining etiquette, heehee....

My 2nd sis was a bit stressed up watching over my nephew who's an active toddler for fear he might break anything >.<

We had placed our food orders during reservation, minimum spending of S$58 per pax as the condition.

All dishes served with beautiful presentation on plates too big for the portions.  All gone in less than 5 bites, so we took our own sweet time and ate very very ssssslowlyyyyyy....

Enjoy the pics ^^

Warm bread was served with butter and cream.

The starters and main dishes tasted great, but was difficult to imprint an impression with a few mouthfuls.  The desserts were nice, but I was expecting more with the price tags.  Overall, we enjoyed the dishes but it's on the high end, perhaps once in a while indulgence, frequent visits unlikely.

During our dinner, we witness 2 marriage proposals.  It was damn romantic, we felt happy for the couples although we didn't know them at all.

This girl in the pic was really cute.  At first, when the divers swam towards the glass panel, she exclaimed: "Hey hey!!  See got divers!"  When the divers spread opened the poster in front of her, she was totally taken by surprise, we were all surprised too!  She was crying and giggling at the same time, very unglam but it was a true and precious moment.  We were clapping and cheering for them.  The waiter said this is almost a daily event at Ocean Restaurant.
