Went back to Ember for another fanta-bulous meal! I pretty much knew what I wanted so ordering was a breeze. Had the crispy tofu with foie gras-mirin sauce and white truffle oil ($16++) again and I’m happy to report that it’s still as uberly delicious as before. Ember should just bottle up that power sauce and make millions from it hah. I’ll be the first in line to buy me some.A toss-up between the chilean seabass and the black miso cod ($32++), and the latter won just marginally cuz I wanted t
A toss-up between the chilean seabass and the black miso cod ($32++), and the latter won just marginally cuz I wanted to compare it with Saint Pierre’s. Coupled with unadorned herbed potatoes and sugar snap peas, Ember’s lusciously rich and buttery cod is ambrosial but the too-strong barbeque-like glaze somewhat covers the natural flavour of the fish so I’m gonna give my vote to SP for creating a milder but no less powerful dish!
I’m kicking myself for saying that Ember’s desserts are weak! They are not, I just picked the wrong ones previously, sheesh.
I really like the nice creamy mouthfeel of the homemade tiramisu ($13++), essentially a spruced up version with lovely rum soaked cherries, mini chocolate balls for texture and topped with a scoop of chocolate sorbet.
Tell me, why why WHY didn’t I order the coconut panna cotta ($13++) the other time?! This has a wonderfully rich but not overwhelming flavour from the coconut, tempered with a fragrant sweetness from the gula melaka, and the crunchy red rubies contrast nicely with the silky smooth texture. A perfect example of an “oohs and ahhs” dessert!
