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

Phew!

What a mouthful (of names)!

Honestly, none of the starters above leaves an impression.

What impressed us was this..

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!

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!)

I was both excited and sad when i heard what was on the menu..

Excited because the boys will get to see something new and different!

Sad, because.. well.. it reminds me of this piglet :(

Nope, your eyes aren’t tricking you!

This piglet was indeed……… taking a piss. Heh.

So tiny and cute!

The whole gang –yes, there were more of them! — ran around like puppies , going in to houses and out as they like, at where we went, Sapa-Vietnam.

So naturally, when i heard about the suckling pig, my first thought flew to this little guy here.. Kinda sad y’know.

To see them looking like this, at the restaurant…

I had to take 2 deep breaths…

Of course, that’s just me being me.

To many, to have suckling pig on the table is usually uncommon. It is prepared as a treat for special occasions and gatherings, for the Chinese. In our case, it was for a birthday celebration. So naturally, my mouth was sealed.. especially when elderlies were present.

Heee…

Yes, this non-alcoholic drinker is finally hooked on mojito!

And errrr… many other cocktails as well to be frank, much to Darcy’s horror!

Grin.

During one of my birthday outings, the plan was to get me high.. which, i’d been anticipated excitedly — for some unknown reason, i like that strange, high feeling :P –

Alas, it didn’t work.

Lol.

Perhaps 7atenine scrimped and saved on the rum!

Because usually, just half a cup will be sufficient to send me to La-La-Land ^_^

Who started crying from all the disapproving looks… (didn’t even scold okay… )

Or poor cake?

Which got uglified..
