Wished you had a go-to place in a neighboring shopping mall you could head to whenever you are too lazy to cook? An affordable place with no need for pretense or a spot for casual communal gatherings? MEET Dining might just be that place for you if you happen to be in the Farrer Park vicinity!
We were recently invited to a media tasting event at MEET Dining in City Square Mall. "Meet" is a Japanese-French fusion restaurant which aims to serve quality food at an affordable price. From my understanding, this is a play on the actual word "meet" - a place where people gather, and a phonetical play on the owners' focus on "meat" specialties.

| MEET Dining shared two of its specialties from their menu for this tasting event. |
MEET's menu boasts a wide selection of seafood, meat cuts and craft beers. On this occasion, the team specially prepared two of their specialties, the
Mussel, Prawn, Garlic Pan and
Beef Tenderloin. For now, alcohol is served in bottles, but the owners have plans to bring in wines by the barrel and draught beer in the near term.

| MEET Dining's Mussel, Prawn and Garlic Pan (S$20) is accompanied with a mushroom risotto. |
My favourite dish goes to the
Mussel, Prawn and Garlic Pan, accompanied with a mushroom risotto. This was nicely cooked with white wine and garlic cloves, bringing out the good fresh flavours from the mussels and prawns. Served on a metal skillet, this dish remained warm throughout dinner. The mushroom risotto was moist with generous servings.
 |
| MEET Dining's Beef Tenderloin (S$28) served medium rare. |
The beef tenderloin was well seared and true to its medium rare preparation, served with a pinkish-red core. However, a good cut of steak should always be served on a hot plate to best retain heat, with due planning and consideration given to not overcooking the meats.
Be sure to check MEET Dining out the next time you are in the area and let us know what you think!
