Have always wanted to try a French dining place but never really got a chance until one of my friends decided to hold her birthday dinner at this restaurant. Dress code was required. We were seated at a long table and a menu was placed on all our plates which was done exclusively for her. After we were seated, the waitress approached us one by one to ask if we are allergic to any food despite the planned menu and if we would like to make any changes to the menu - it was quite odd to me as i thou
After we were seated, the waitress approached us one by one to ask if we are allergic to any food despite the planned menu and if we would like to make any changes to the menu - it was quite odd to me as i thought this should be asked before the menu? No complains though since its a treat by the birthday girl.
The bread and butter was served. The butter is heavenly. Second best that i've eaten. 5 of us finished 2 baskets of bread but we used more than 10 butters... the butters are so good to eat it alone!
The amuse bouche is decent, although some of my friends doesnt fancy the taste. Amuse bouche is done according to the chef's selection and wine is served as well but i cant remember the brand and the year of the wine. The orange base has a hint of tomato and it tasted citrusy.
The terrine de foie gras is decent, its done with sauterne wine, braised fig, balsamic vinegar and came with mesclun salad and brioche toast. Not a big fan of foie gras so 1 serving of this is enough for me though some of my friends raved about it.
Loved this the most! It came after the foie gras. Its pumpkin veloute with roasted chestnut with croutons and Parmesan cheese. The pumpkin is fragrant and the chestnut taste only came after it. Surprisingly, the Parmesan cheese is not overwhelming.
The slow cooked stuffed turkey which came with Brussels' sprout, potato and forest mushrooms was the last dish and the most filling of all.
Lastly, the dessert is a slow-baked apple with calvados custard cream and green apple sorbet. The sorbet is a good dessert to wash the taste of the turkey, Would prefer more of the calvados custard cream though. The brandy brings out the taste of the apple and the sorbet.The captain brought us a cake at the end of the dinner but we couldn't stomach it. Who would have thought these small portions of french food would make us so full? Perhaps its the never ending wine? Nevertheless, we brought the cake back to our suite.
We cut the cake after midnight and.... the cake is..... unexpectedly not very good. We were quite disappointed or perhaps they are not well known for their cakes? In the end, we gave the cake to our butler but we are not sure if he did finish it. . .
Overall, it was a good experience as it was my second time to sit through a french fine dining place.
