Royal Mail - Part 2

Following my earlier post on Royal Mail, we came back a second time to try out more dishes, namely Lamb Fore Shank ($32) and Lobster Linguine ($28).

For desserts, we ordered the dessert platter for two ($28).

Royal Mail has a bar on the first floor. It serves the best selling UK beer, i.e. London Pride.
The bar has pretty good happy hour prices for its alcohol, i.e. $5 per pint of beer from 3pm to closing! A definite must try for a night of chill out!

Shashlik

Shashlik Restaurant
545 Orchard Road, Far East Shopping Centre #06-19 
Closed on Monday
6732 6401

This is a Russian restaurant and has been there since 1986.
Shashlik was opened by a group of ex-employees from the very first Russian Restaurant, Troika.
Troika was in Bras Basah back in 1943.

I still remembered that was the venue of our first V day dinner 8 years ago.
Back then, we ordered the Pork Shashlik and Baked Alaskan and I could never forget the warm buns being served there. 

I decided to try their Beef Shashlik with Russian Salad ($29) on this visit.
For desserts, I tried out the Banana Flambe and Cherry Jubilee.

Will I come back again?
In terms of experience, the decor is dated and reminds you of the quaint old diner serving Western food.
Pricing is fairly steep for the food served.
