My girlfriends took me there for a belated birthday celebration. It was belated as it took them more than a month to get a table. As such, we all went in with really high expectation on this "talk of the town" restaurant. As soon as I walked in, I was attracted by the very cozy atmosphere and interesting art pieces on the wall. We were then greeted and lead to a semi private room where we enjoyed one of the best meal we've had for a long time. Since one of my friends have been there before, she
First they brought us the bread basket and the farmer's bread was simply unbelievable - so crisp on the outside and soft and warm inside. We immediately indulge ourselves but had to control not too have too much so we had to ask the waiter to stop serving more.
For appertiser we had the langoustine carpaccio with yellow mushroom and tuna belly. The seafood so tasty and fresh and the yellow mushroom a real compliment.
We then had the green pea soup with Hokkaido Scallop and Caviar. I am not a big fan of pea soup but this one certainly changed my mind ! The "huge" seared scallop with a touch of caviar made the soup even tastier.
Then came our pasta - had a choice of their signature linguine with red prawns and angel hair with sea urchin. I went for the latter but managed to have a taste of the linguine. Both were outstanding but I liked my choice better.
Main course was also a choice of 2 - wagyu beef trio which I was told is one of the most popular dish but since I don't eat beef, I went for the smoked pigeon with figs and coffee sauce. Wow - the best pigeon I've had in a western meal - nicely carmelized but so tender and juicy inside.
Since it was my belated birthday celebration, I insisted NOT to have the birthday cake but did request for something special for dessert. We were served the fried brioche with vanilla ice cream. As we were all quite full already and thought we would only be able to have a taste of this "special dessert" - but one bite and we couldn't resist. As a result, we cleaned our plates !!!!!
Almost forgot to mention the very reasonable wine that the manager recommended. The have a good collection and all reasonably priced. Must say the service was also very good - warm and attentive, yet giving us space to have some privacy among us girls.
All in all, this is truly the best meal I've had for a long time. Was told (since I didn't pay) that the price is extremely reasonable - real value for price.
This is one restaurant that I would highly recommend to my friends and definitely worth the wait. Look forward to going back again soon.
