This place is located on the 3rd floor of the Pennington hotel but easily missed despite its grand hotel entrance which is often blocked by hoards of people lining up for the bus on a NARROW pavement which is only wide enough for one person.After battling my way past the people, I arrived at a nice tranquille restaurant with a seafood bar.We had quite a feast that night.Here was what we had:★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Oysters:Started with oysters from France.We had La Boite a Bijoux and the Gillardeau.On
After battling my way past the people, I arrived at a nice tranquille restaurant with a seafood bar.
We had quite a feast that night.Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Oysters:
Started with oysters from France.
We had La Boite a Bijoux and the Gillardeau.
One had a sweeter note at the end while the other one was strong and salty.Every night, there are six different oysters that are on a buy one get one free promotion.

Crabe Tourteau:
To be honest, I just enjoyed the crab roe part and the grey matter which had a rich and strong crab taste with a seawater taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Scampi from South Africa:
It was visually stunning to see the whole scampi in its beautiful coral pink shells.
The scampi was sweet and springy that it did not require any seasoning.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Razor Clam & Crab Meat Salad:
This was ok, I liked the crab and shimeji mushrooms but razor clams are not my cup of tea.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef Carpaccio:
The beef was thinly sliced and the olive oil pearls gave it some flavour.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio:
The scallops were sweet flavoured by the salmon roe which gave bursts of saltiness.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy French Foie gras with balsamic and lime sorbet:
The foie gras had wonton pastry wrapped on the outside which made it crispier.It was silky and velvety paired with a lime sorbet to refresh the palate.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sea Urchin Linguini:
Sea urchin lovers are going to love this, each strand of linguini was thickly covered in creamy sea urchin sauce.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Duck Foie Gras Linguini:
This was my favourite, I loved the al-dente linguine tossed in the oil from the foie gras.On top, there were so many pieces of foie gras.
I think it would taste nicer if there was a hint of black pepper or some chili flakes.

Crab Risotto - Alaskan King Crab Leg, Spinach Cream Sauce:
The risotto was quite chalky, I would have preferred it to be softer but the lovely spinach sauce and crab meat made up for it.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vol-au-vent - Stuffed with Escargot, herb butter:
These were delicious vol au vents filled with aromatic herb butter with a juicy plump escargot in the middle.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lobster Thermidor:
The lobster was stunning, beneath it was a thick concoction of cheese and lobster that was amazing with bread.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Daily special - Coq au Vin:
The chicken was tender with a strong wine taste paired with creamy mash beneath it.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Souffle Grand Marnier - fresh fruits, grand marnier:
The texture of the souffle is a bit different from the usual ones, it was icy and cake like with a strong orange taste.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pear Tarte Tatin - caramelized pastry, cream:
This was huge tart with four halves of a pear on each quarter, the tart was extremely buttery with juicy hot pears on top.The middle of the tart was a bit dense and could have risen more.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lemon Tartufo - lemon custard, fresh fruits:
This was the best dessert in terms of presentation and taste.It was light and airy with a refreshing zesty taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★black chocolate fondant:
Loved this rich gooey dessert with chocolate oozing from the middle.
