So many online reviews have praised Absinthe for its food and service that my expectations were raised correspondingly.I liked the salad of pan fried almond coated king prawns, mesclun and smoked ocean trout ($23++). Also had half a serving of fish and seafood bouillabaisse scented with absinthe, saffron aioli and croutons ($40++ for full portion). The house signature and rightly so! Very hearty and aromatic~ Roasted black cod with saffron potatoes and sauteed baby spinach in pernod sauce ($39+

Very hearty and aromatic~ Roasted black cod with saffron potatoes and sauteed baby spinach in pernod sauce ($39++) was so-so.
Of course, we had to try Absinthe’s namesake — the absinthe alcohol. It’s a distilled, highly alcoholic spirit that’s also known as “the green fairy”.
It’s prepared by placing a sugar cube on top of a slotted spoon which is then placed on the glass filled with a shot of absinthe. Ice-cold water is dripped over the sugar cube until it’s melted completely.
Sorry to say this but it tastes awful! Definitely not something I want to try again.
