It’s time to revisit this two Michelin stars restaurant to check out their festive menu as the festive season drew near. We went for their Festive Menu (4 course for $1988 + 10% service charge) which showcased seasonal dishes as opposed to their regular signature menu which we had sampled before. Here were my tasting notes:Amuse Bouche- under a layer of red wine jelly was a thin layer of foie gras mousse with a small piece of pear marinated in red wine on top.

We went for their Festive Menu (4 course for $1988 + 10% service charge) which showcased seasonal dishes as opposed to their regular signature menu which we had sampled before.
Here were my tasting notes:
Amuse Bouche- under a layer of red wine jelly was a thin layer of foie gras mousse with a small piece of pear marinated in red wine on top. The richness of the foie gras mousse balanced beautifully with the red wine jelly. Wished the pear on top were a bit bigger 🤣cos it was yummy and it brought some subtle sweetness to the overall dish. A yummy start to a meal .
1st course “LE MAQUEREAU”Horse mackerel cured with clementine, star anise cream with caviar - loved the presentation of this dish. The mackerel cured in clementine wasn’t “fishy” and one could taste the sweetness of the mackerel coming through. The caviar on top helped to bring in flavours of the ocean to the whole dish. A good dish.
LE HOMARD BLEU BRETONBrittany blue lobster, baked radicchio & bisque emulsion - the prized blue lobster with thin strips of shiitake mushrooms on top was cooked to perfection; its flesh had that very slight crunch when bite into it and the delicate sweetness coming through with each bite. The bisque came in two colours, the bright orange one with more acidity whilst the other one had more sweetness to it. Both were silky smooth and velvety emulsions and paired very well with the lobster flesh.
LE PIGEON GRILLEGrilled pigeon on the bone with beets & Sainte-Maure cheese- when the dish was presented, it didn’t look as though someone had planned the aesthetics properly. The pigeon was succulent with a slight crispy skin. However, I wished they would be more generous on the portions. It was also odd that there was a thin piece of pigeon meat sitting on the plate which was neither here nor there. I was also expecting a more refined treatment of the beets to accompany the pigeon. As it was, they looked a bit out of place on the plate.
LES AGRUMESCitrus fruit sphere, hazelnut praliné & yuzu sorbet - overall, the dessert was very sweet, particularly the orange colour sauce that surrounded the main dessert. It was so sweet that it drowned out all other elements in the dessert .
Some negatives on this menu:
- clear lack of choice as far as the menu is concerned as all items of the 4 course had been fixed;
- disappointed also with the main course and dessert as mentioned above.
