Jaan, being one of the top 50 best restaurants in the world… of course i had to check it out before the Chef leaves this month!
And i didn’t regret one bit.
The boy was obsessed with the super this gladly topped it up wh ink and cheese flavour. The kind servers gladly topped it up when the boy asked for more :)
Appetizers :
Top :
Panache De Fruits De Mer
Panache of seafood, freshly pickled baby vegetables, spiced kaffir lime consomme
Bottom :
Caille Grillee, Moutarde Etouffee
Baby mache salad, grilled quail breast with chorizo ice cream, Ratte potato confit, truffle braised mustard seed
Phew!
What a mouthful (of names)!
Honestly, none of the starters above leaves an impression.
What impressed us was this..
Gelee De Foie Gras Chaude A” La Forestiere
Hot foie gras jelly topped with wild mushroom tricassee, black winter truffle coulis
Mains :
Top :
Short Rib Roti Trente-Six Heurs Au Charbon Aromatique
Thirty-six hour roast short rib coated with aromatic charcoal
Braised truffle polenta and Cevenne onion
Middle :

Lobster emulsion, ginger scented William pear compote
Can’t resist but grab a photo of the ginger scented William pear compote, which was placed at the side of the dish.. very adorable!
Bottom :
Bar De Ligne Sauvage, Pomme De Terre Fumee
Line-caught Atlantic wild sea-bass, smoked potato
barigoule of poivrade artichoke scented with pastis
Seriously!
I can’t understand half the ingredients of the dishes. LOLted William pear compote in the second main and i ed polenta in the first dish, lobster emulsion and the ginger scented William pear compote in the second main and i love the smooth, juicy fish fillet in the last dish.
Desserts :
Clockwise :
1- Chocolate De La Domaine D’Origine
Vintage chocolate spice ganache, milk marmalade ice cream
2- Snickers
Snickers version 2010
3 – Tarte Au Citron
“Lemon Tart” on mini churros, granite of pink Campart/ grapefruit
*takes deep breath*
Typing the dishes’ names took longer than editing the photos! Hahahahaa.. a total nightmare.
My favourite dessert gotta be the lemon tart on mini churros!
The lemon tart left no tarty after taste in the mouth, which i prefer. It might seemed a little odd but the lemony tart complemented the churros really well!
While the rest was a O-K, me being the old school me, still prefer the real thang. Fancy pancy desserts as such ain’t my cup of tea. No matter how i try to like it, they gave me no satisfaction at all. At the end of the meal, i went down to J-Co Donut to grab a doughnut with double chocolate.. just to satisfy the unsatisfied sweet tooth :P
Having said that, the overall dining experience was satisfactory. While some dishes were more adventurous than normal, it was worth giving it a go.. The food, no matter how strange and adventurous.. it was still pretty good.
However, for appetizer.. do stick to the foie gras gelee! Don’t say i didn’t warn you. Heh. If you must, the quail breast is ok too.. buttttttt, skip the salad ok? :P
(OOPPSS.. wait! I forgot, Chef Andre has already left!)

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Daily Tittle-Tattling... 
I saw this place reviewed on another blog recently and while I think the food looks tasty enough and is very pretty, I too would be going out for more food afterwards!
Haha.. Exactly!
I was actually full.. but the satisfaction just wasn’t there.
every dish is the size of a spoon only… how fast was the dinner? 15 mins?
ah mun : hahahahhahaa.. lunch lah oi! on the contrary, the whole course took 1.5 hours.. not 15 mins :P
Hi there, you really don’t look like a mommy of 3 and to top that off, you can cook so well. wow envy envy ;)
Anyway I’ve been to Jaan before and was told that children were not allowed… my kiddo got really upset when she heard I had to go without her as she loves nice restaurants. How did you manage to get your boy in?
needfood : hello back! heh.. the lady in the picture with my boy here isn’t me :P
Oh, i didn’t know about the no-child policy. I just make my reservation as normal – table for 4 but i didn’t mention there’d be a child with me. When they saw us, they didn’t make any comment but led us to our table straight :)
ps : but i can tell that children weren’t welcome though. No plates/ cutlery for my boy.. and i didn’t bother to ask for it because it was much easier for me to feed him than sharing my tiny portion with him on another plate.
