I have been quite look forward to this meal at Seasons as I have read and heard a lot of compliments about this restaurant. Being a loyal follower of Michelin Star restaurant guide worldwide, I won’t dare missing a chance to try Seasons. My friend has warned me on my expectation after she came here for lunch yet both of us believed that Dinner chef will do a much better job…so I was here due to my insistence. I suggest diners to try their appetizers and a couple of signature main course dish. According to my friend, the pasta is a no-no, not as good as they suggested. It might have been my lack of luck evening, the food was not impressed at all.

 It's a habit to bring our own wine let alone the corkage charge yet it's kinda a waste with the food matching that evening...sigh...

 Escargots fricassee with tomato & pastis sauce 

Interesting enough, all the appetizers we ordered were delicious and quite creative. The escargots mixed well with the tomato & pastis sauce, not as oily as the garlic butter I used to have. Then, there’s no freezer taste of escargots while the meat was tender and soft.

 Beef tartare, potato cracotte, salad & toast 

Nice try on a creative mix & match seasoning of this beef tartare. A little big strong though and I am sure it would taste more balance if they could tone it down a little bit.

 Grilled tuna with 5 spices, avocado crush & crispy shallot 

Among the 3 appetizers, I like this one the most. The tuna was medium rare grilled and I chose to eat it with the avocado and shallot which was heavenly good. I always find Tuna to be a tasteless fish without texture unless it’s fatty tuna in sashimi form. However, the overall impression on the tuna here was altered completely when it’s grilled and seasoned well with the spices.

 Yellow chicken, thyme and butter (chef recommendation) $698
 "Chef recommendation" of the roast chicken is definitely an overstatement...too high expectation on it and I am immensely disappointed.  To be fair, may be I should blame the yellow chicken itself since the texture wasn't good...no tenderness and not juicy at all.  Non comparable to a neighbourhood roast cornish hen restaurant in Berlin whilst the price was 1/3.

 I totally forgot about the name of the dessert yet I bet it's something like raspberry sherbert...from my lost memory one can tell that this dessert wasn't impressive at all...very ordinary indeed.
