To welcome 2018, my family decided to enjoy fine dining on a Friday night. La Parole was the choice because of the good reputation and its nature as a social enterprise. I have always wanted to spend wisely so why not spend money on the restaurant which is the pioneer on integrating fine dining with social enterprise. La Parole donates all profits for speech and language impaired kids. The meal satisfied both my stomach and heart. Overall, dishes are tiny but sophisticated. I was disappointed b
I was disappointed because the 6 course tasting menu at $438 is the only choice, seafood and beef, rather limited. Would appreciate more choices on the menu.
Hokkaido fresh scallop
Tasted in two ways: scallop sashimi with Italian caviar and wasabi, and seared scallop with sea salt. I prefer sashimi when the ingredient is fresh and unami.
Crabmeat risotto asparagus, with shallot and onions
Imitating risotto but kinda fail in my humble opinion. Texture of sharp asparagus is intrinsically different from creamy risotto. Taste refreshing overall.
La Parole lobster bisque
Classic lobster bisque recipes can be overwhelmingly complicated thus it has never been home food. Nice to enjoy the rich and creamy lobster bisque as a heavenly entrée.
Organge sorbet
Time to clear the palate before moving to the main course.
Pan fried cod in light creamy garlic tomato sauce
Crispy skin and lean meat, with mild flavor and white flakes.
Pan fried French beef tenderloin, sided with pumpkin, zucchini, carrot, seafood, yuzu puree, onion leek gravy
Beatifully presented. Not bad but the previous courses are even better.
Raspberry mousse cake with mixed berries and premium Belgian coffee expresso ice-cream
The end of the meal definitely comes with dessert. The expresso ice-cream is strong in taste. As a mild taster French dessert is generally too sweet for me, not an exception here.
