The common gripe about food is that "the unhealthy stuff always tastes so good"!So I glad to say thank goodness for Cedele who has figured out how to make food taste good and yet remain good for you.My Chicken & Portobello Sandwich was the first to arrive. Stacked high, a long toothpick held together the melted brie, tomato, lettuce and slab of grilled chicken thigh in between a ciabatta bun spread with sweet onion marmellata. Yums!My brother-in-law had the steak with balsamic mushrooms.The mush
So I glad to say thank goodness for Cedele who has figured out how to make food taste good and yet remain good for you.
My Chicken & Portobello Sandwich was the first to arrive. Stacked high, a long toothpick held together the melted brie, tomato, lettuce and slab of grilled chicken thigh in between a ciabatta bun spread with sweet onion marmellata. Yums!
My brother-in-law had the steak with balsamic mushrooms.The mushrooms were pretty good (plump and juicy), but the steak in contrast was quite dry and tough. At least there was enough gravy to take away some of the dryness.
This was the popular dish of the night - both the husband and father-in-law ordered this.Tender chicken, sweet and tangy cranberry sauce with a side of what I think is potato gratin, both guys gave it the thumbs up. The gratin, I felt, was a bit lacking in taste though.
My mother-in-law tends to gravitate towards fish but she had reservations about ordering the salmon because of previous experience where the salmon arrived with a fishy smell and taste. Cedele proved her wrong this time with a wonderfully cooked piece of pink salmon without the pungent smell of fish. The sauce added a nice tang that helped cut through the oiliness of the salmon. The potato cakes at the side were also delicious - slightly crisp on the outside, soft, tasty and with bits of pumpkin!
For dessert, we ordered a slice of Carrot Walnut Cake ($6.00) (sorry, no picture!) and it was good as usual. Cedele was also kind enough to write the words "Happy Birthday" with chocolate syrup on the plate they presented to my Father-in-law, with a candle too of course.
We also had a slice of Red Velvet Cake. The cake was a bit grainy but thankfully that didn't affect the taste too much. Love the thick layer of cream cheese too!My parents-in-law usually prefer Chinese food so you know the food's really good when they said they enjoyed everything! (:
