French Onion Soup
This was done exactly the way I wanted it to be. Cheesy toast which was soaked in the savoury goodness.

Escargots in herbed garlic and butter, Crab and Pomelo Salad
The crab meat hidden by the greens were fresh, sweet and creamy. Reminds me of a dense coleslaw without the vegetables. The pomelo was bitter but matched well with the crab.
These 3 dishes were followed shortly by 4 desserts, which were mostly accompanied with a pot of creme anglaise.
Prune Clafoutis with Rum and Raisin Ice cream
This was unexpectedly good as this French dessert is usually served at home for in large servings. This individual tart-like Clafoutis had a chewy texture and is very sweet. The prunes as well as the ice cream emit strong hints of rhum. Worth a try since it's not common in local French menus.
Creme Brulee
This is relatively large but I like generous portions of desserts since it is difficult to be satisfied with morsels of good things.A fairly decent brulee for the price.
Grand Marnier Souffle
This mighty souffle rises to a level which is one the highest I have seen so far. The alcohol kick was satisfying but somehow I still miss a chocolate souffle.
The sweet cream is really good because one can control the sweetness of the dessert. I recommend pouring everything in as it would taste quite eggy and plain on its own.
Warm Chocolate Cake with Lavender Ice Cream
This molten cake is once again larger than the usual ones.
The gooey inner filling oozes out as expected but it would be better if the outer cake wall was thinner. Otherwise there would be no more molten lava to go with the dry parts. Nonetheless, the lavender ice cream and creme anglaise did set this dish a little different from the rest.
