The Murray Bridge Pasture Fed Lamb Rack was equally good and the rack was served with cucumber mint yogurt. I loved the charcoal grill smell on the meat that added that extra boost to both the taste and experience. The meat, goes without saying, was tender and juicy. (Food rating: 3.5/5) 

Our final dish was the Maine Lobster served with Tomato Jambu Vinaigrette. The dish was overrated and I can just say, it is just so-so nia. (Food rating: 2.5/5)

Well, Chef Leung did reinvent the local Asian dishes in one way or another. I loved the way he added Jambu to the Chicken Satay and the way Bak Kut Teh can be served differently. Some dishes, however, were overrated because of the use of premium ingredients. 

During my dining experience, there were a number of service lapses. Firstly, the dishes were served wrongly. The dishes were put on my table and then taken away for another table. Though it was taken away almost immediately, I wished that they could be more alert in a premium restaurant like 15 Stamford. Secondly, when we asked for the bill, one of the servers acknowledged the request. After waiting for at least 15 minutes, we were not served with another bill. I had to asked another server for bill which was attended to within minutes. Perhaps the former server's shift had ended as he was not around after that. But still, this is still a service lapse. Another table had items added into their bill that were not supposed to. The lack of attention and service were extremely disappointing. 

Will I dine there again? I am doubtful as the price we pay for food, service and experience did not match our expectations. Thanks 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung.
