999.99 - Five Nines
Keong Saik Road has effectively transformed itself from being a red light district in the 1970s to a conservation district where hipster restaurants and cafes congregate. the chic rooftop bars, good variety of cuisines and trendy hipster cafes can only be undone by the challenging parking situation (limited parallel parking) that comes with its popularity. Five Nines is a European Fusion restaurant inspired by its Japanese chefs Masanao Saito and Takashi Ohkawa that is getting quite a following for its positive reviews.
the name Five Nines is actually read 999.99, symbolising purity similar to gold. that is the restaurant's ethos to serve up gold standard quality and service to all its customers. the romantic setting, coupled with customised set dinners, makes this place perfect for a date. for the bigger groups and the more adventurous ones, the restaurant also offers Omakase dinners or ala carte meals. as it was our first visit, we went for the individual signature dishes.. 
a highly recommended dish is their Lobster Gratin, that is as delicious as it is worthy on Instagram. the dish comes as a whole lobster topped with melted cheese and cream sauce. the meat is surprisingly generous and the taste, well blended with the condiments. we also tried the Chicken Diavola or Devil-Styled grilled chicken, which obtained its namesake due to its spicy kick. in reality, the dish is not overly spicy and is served to black hummus to give it that extra flavour. 
we had to try their carb dishes and were suggested to try the Spicy Pescatore which was essentially seafood spaghetti cooked in tomato based spicy sauce. served with cockles, clams and prawns, you could well taste the red pepper and tomato that went into the pasta. not exactly wow, and pretty much your seafood arrabbiata. the ladies went for some soft shell crab salad for appetizers, which turned out surprisingly good. 
Five Nines completes the dining experience by offering desserts, wines and spirits. we went for the conventional Sauvignon Blanc to toast to the occasion so as not to go wrong. it was overall quite an enjoyable experience, though probably not exactly gold standard, but still a place where we'd come again, especially to impress a date.
