I thought I have given up on Restaurant Week after years of disappointment (the now-defunct Azure, Whisk etc.) but this week, I was in the mood to give it another chance. This summer round of Restaurant Week was said to be one of the largest one in recent memory with around 100 participating restaurants. Some of the intriguing names include Michelin starred Akrame, Aqua group's Armani/Aqua, Aqua and Hutong, CE LA VI and Cassio who are all newcomers to the event (if my memory serves me correctly)
With so many interesting options, I decided to get my feet wet this weekend starting with a booking at AMMO, a place I haven't had the chance to check out since 2012. About a month or so ago, I received a newsletter from Drawing Room Group (AMMO's parent company) about AMMO's impending transformation into a modern Spanish tapas bar. I have been a little curious of their revamped menu so this opportunity arose from Restaurant Week was perfect.
Crab tartare with mushrooms and basil jelly - Lunch started off brightly with a refreshing appetizer of crab tartare. Underneath the pile of fresh crab meat was a thin layer of basil jelly followed by some diced mushrooms. The crab meat was really nice and fresh but what really surprised me the most was the basil jelly offering some nice acidity and earthy flavors to the dish.
Well, not a bad start. One out of one (Grade: 3.5/5)!

Blueberry mousse with mixed berry compote - This tasted like one of those sliced cakes you picked up from Aroma. It did offer some nice acidity but that's about all there's to it (Grade: 3/5).
