We had our 11th anniversary brunch at Epure. It was the first time we came here and we were totally impressed by the art deco + brushed brass decor. The brunch is $398 for 3 courses. Very very reasonable for a restaurant of this calibre. Free flow of champagne for two hours starts at $239 and $88 per glass. Amuse-bouche of the day is cheese puffs, and tartlets with diced radish, pear, avocado cream and raspberry coulis. The cheese puff tastes just like what I expected. But the tartlets are very

Amuse-bouche of the day is cheese puffs, and tartlets with diced radish, pear, avocado cream and raspberry coulis. The cheese puff tastes just like what I expected. But the tartlets are very zesty and tangy -- very much an Asian-inspired taste and I loved it. Really did wake up my taste buds on a lazy Sunday.

 Appetizers: Chilled lobster with heirloom tomato 3 ways -- stunning! Tomato soup, tomato sorbet and tomato jelly all taste exceptional and they match the lobster seamlessly.

 Oysters boudeuse: Again, the dressing is very much an Asian fare, which I like. Lime, ginger and toasted peanuts. The courgette adds some crunch and more dimension to the mouthfeel. The oysters are crisp and briny.

 Main course: spit roast of the day -- pork chop. Perfectly roasted with lovely pink inside. Very tender and flavorful. It tasted good, but it's rather expected. Not as creative or surprising as the appetizer.

 Vol-au-vent with seafood and lobster cream: The puff pastry is awesome -- very flaky and in perfect shape. The squid and cod are tender and velvety -- perfectly cooked. The lobster cream is also tasty, but a bit too filling. The veggie on top (I forgot what it's called, but the waiter did explained) is crunchy and helps cut through the greasiness of the sauce.

 And when I made reservation, Epure did ask if it's a special occasion. And here's the gift -- Dalloyau macarons with handwritten greetings on a white chocolate plaque... Thank you so much

 Finally desserts: Floating island is actually soft meringue flavoured with vanilla seeds on a butterscotch sauce and a quenelle of caramel ice cream. The meringue is soft and fluffy. The caramel ice cream is velvety and it bursts with flavours. Excellently done.

 The pineapple rum baba, on the other hand, isn't as impressive. The sponge cake is what a sponge cake should taste like, soaked with rum and pineapple syrup. The pineapple sorbet tastes good, but again, not exceptional. This course reminds me of the cocktail Pina Colada, kinda a cliche. It doesn't taste bad, but it's just not very sophisticated in terms of layering of flavours and textures.... I'm being overly critical here.

Petite-fours: apricot fruit gem is very fruity and slightly tart. Great to cleanse the palate after a meal. The sponge cake with hazelnut cream and caramel white chocolate chips is just ok, but not great. It tastes too much like the pineapple Baba with an indistinct flavour. The chestnut tartlets are bursting with chestnut flavour. The filling is very creamy. But to be honest, we are too full to appreciate any good food at this point...

 All in all, a great experience. The sommelier and the waiter were very helpful and courteous. It took a bit too long to check the bill (over 20 minutes), otherwise, it would be a perfect brunch.  And for this price, both the food and service are exceptional.  I would highly recommend Epure to anyone interested in French food.
题外话/补充资料： Please note the Dalloyau patisserie is $80+ a piece for eat in, $56 a piece for take out. The Terrace serves a different menu and you should double confirm when you make reservations.
