Finally finally finally here! I made my reservation two months in advance just so I can get a table for four on a Sunday evening and it was sooo worth it!Here's the first part to our Father3Day slash bday celebration at Belon. As before they start off with a mini cheese choux with aged comte. Then everything else is ala carte though I heard you could request for a tasting menu as well.

Here's the first part to our Father3Day slash bday celebration at Belon. As before they start off with a mini cheese choux with aged comte. Then everything else is ala carte though I heard you could request for a tasting menu as well. We opted for the foie gras tartlet ($98) each with sweet wine jelly and smooth af mousse. Then there's the must try carrot stroopwafel ($38) with dill pistou. It was such an interesting combination since I usually only have dill as a decoration of a dish or as a small condiment. It tasted like the ocean with sweet notes at the end thanks to the carrot.
First appetizer we had the the Salade gourmand ($528) probably the most expensive salad in town thanks tot he foie gras and beef tongue slices! My photo is half a portion and you can see a crunchy shell holding three pieces of the terrine, salad tossed in a truffle vinaigrette and slices of peas. It was a really savoury dish and you definitely need to have all the components in one bite for a true flavour explosion.
PIGEONNNNNN last time we had Belon's pigeon pithivier was back in 2017,so having a variation of the dish was a major throwback. The pigeon ($988) was so soft and tender, unlike other places were they served bloody pigeon. The pastry shell was still crispy and the sauce was such a plus. All the vegetables on the side were super sweet, my fav were the carrot and the mandarin paired with a slice of the pithivier.
We also tried the crepe souffle, which is actually turbot wrapped in spinach with a black caviar cream sauce. The texture was super interesting, a bit like a mozzarella so you can make clean cuts. Definately worth trying, unlike its light fluffy appearance it has an intense savoury flavour.
The pork brioche was amazing too. I loved loved looovvveeeddd the buttery brioche wrapping around the pork with pistachio and truffle. The sweet sauce is the key component that binds the whole dish together. I shared half of the portion with my sister but I could easily finish both halves of the brioche.
