been here a week ago, and thought that i should write a review for how surprising the food was.

it was lucky that i was allowed to try the mediterranean macaron, and i was shocked for the whole meal. cause when u see macaron, u would expected to have something real sweet, but this macaron was acid n a hint of sweetness from the ingredients... it was a great starter.

i then tried the smoked eel terrine, n i really love the texture combined with caramelized sugar n the spongy eel... the taste was light enough which prepared me to taste the main.

Pigeon rice had a strong taste of the broth, but it was too strong that i couldn't taste the sweetness from the diced veggie.
the pigeon is well cooked.

I then order crepe suzette for my dessert, but this wasn't serve hot although it tasted fine.

a few disappointments from the whole meal were how they describe dishes on the menu, which i thought they didn't tell me what ingredients they had put into the dishes. Instead, the menu was more like making people happy from the beginning. I misunderstood that the "creamy rice" wasn't cooked with cream, but it was just the texture.

Second was that they gave me a knife for the pigeon, n i realized that they didn't sharpen the knifes so to have it make great cut on slicing meat.

My experience in this restaurant was great, but they actually brought that down at the end. too sad to say this.
