I went for another restaurant during restaurant week, this time it was recommended on a magazine and it was new in the dining scene so I wanted to see if BLOC was an underdog.

First up was the usual: Bread with garlic butter
It was okay, not as freshly baked but the garlic butter was worth highlighting which complemented very well with the bread. The bread were in small sizes so that you won't be full from too much bread.

Fresh fruit salad with goat cheese
A refreshing start to the meal, I love the fresh salad that has blueberries and raspberries, rockets etc. The berries added crunchiness and a little sweet touch to the salad. I'm not sure for others, but the fried goat cheese was too overwhelming for me. The smell overpowered the rest of the fruits and vegetables. Or maybe I'm just not used to goat cheese

Salmon loaf
At first I thought it would come as a piece of salmon fillet but it was like a bread with salmon bits. For many years, my mum used to cook for lunch and put the food into the fridge so that I can heat it up in the microwave for dinner. I know how microwaved food taste like. Enuff said. The loaf was rather disappointing, not only it is microwaved but it was too much for one to eat. The mashed potato was okay, nothing bad about it but sun-dried tomatos is a refreshing touch to the loaf, which has too much flour.

Only for restaurant week, they were giving patrons a free shot of honey infused vodka from a nitros can

It was unexpected because it is in a form of foam and served fresh on your table.
I love it because of its acquired taste of honey and ginger and mixed very well with vodka.
One shot is definitely not enough.

Molten chilli chocolate cake with ice cream
I didn't taste any chilli though. The cake was average, perhaps overbaked because my cake was burnt on the bottom and the chocolate lava didn't flow out when i half-ed it. I am an ice-cream person, and I hate ice cream with shards of ice in them, it only means that they did not prepare the ice cream fresh but they scooped the ice cream into the cup and put it in the freezer.

For 168, the meal was worth it but I won't go for its regular menu. The best part of the meal was probably the shot of honey vodka. The service was very good, waiters could converse very well in English and very friendly with introduction of the food and checking with you occasionally.
