The Starters (Choice of 1)

The toasted brioche supplied some texture, and the apple chutney minimize by way of the richness of the foie gras and prevented it from turning into too cloying. We have been knowledgeable that diners who need to go for the foie gras as an alternative of the salad should prime up a further $4, however we expect it’s positively price it.

The Mains (Choice of 1)

Seared Duck Leg Confit, Butternut Barley Risotto and Carrot Orange PureeAnother basic French dish, the duck leg was massive and succulent, and fell off the bone upon mild prodding with a fork. It was full of flavour, although may run a contact salty for some. It’s complemented completely by the risotto, which is toothsome and filled with chew due to it utilizing barley as an alternative of the everyday risotto rice, making it lighter and fewer heavy than common risottos. Grouper with Cucumber Salad and Soy Mustard DressingFor those that choose one thing a bit of lighter on the palate, the grouper dish could also be simply the ticket. We have been fairly stunned to see how beneficiant the parts have been – two thick fillets of grouper, cooked to perfection and topped with loads of shredded cucumber. It’s drizzled with a piquant soy mustard dressing that compliments the flavour of the fish. To spherical off the meal, diners can prime up simply $8 for a glass of home pour wine – the workers will gladly advocate an appropriate wine to go with your selections.The Christmas Lunch menu begins at simply $24++ per pax, and will probably be obtainable from 1 December until 22 December.Next up is the 3-Course Festive Menu, which provides a starter, a soup, a alternative of predominant, and a dessert.

Starter

Smoked Quail Salad with Pomegranate and Candied PecanWhen this dish was first served to us, we assumed it was a predominant course – however no, it’s the starter. The quail was a bit of chewier than anticipated however nonetheless fairly tender and had a pleasant umami flavour. The pomegranate lent a pleasant tangy pop of flavour, and the candied pecans actually elevated the dish.

Soup

Classic Bouillabaisse with Rouille and Garlic ToastThose who're keen on seafood and shellfish will completely adore this dish – huge, juicy prawns, scallops and mussels swimming in a vivid orange broth simply filled with shellfish flavour. The seafood was contemporary and didn’t style fishy, and we fully polished off all of the soup.

Mains (Choose between two)

Salette 1920 Duck a l’Orange, Gratin DauphinoiseA classical French dish, the duck breast was fairly tender and had an ideal flavour – we didn’t style the “gaminess” that duck can have, and the orange sauce actually elevated the style of the meat with out being overpowering. The potato gratin was completely cooked as nicely with out being mushy and too wealthy.Barramundi with Salsa Verde, Torched Baby Carrot, Potato MousselineThe different predominant dish that diners can select from, the barramundi fillet was big. It was grilled very nicely because the flesh was flakey and never dried out. The salsa verde lent an earthy, herbaceous observe, which actually introduced out the style of the fish.  

Dessert

Panna Cotta infused with Kaffir Scent and Gula Melaka ReductionWe actually loved this rendition of the basic Italian custard. The kaffir infusion lent an fascinating flavour profile and distinctive aroma evocative of Asian cooking, whereas using gula melaka within the sauce gave it a definitively Nyonya flavour. Just like with the Christmas Lunch menu, diners can prime up $8 for a glass of home pour wine.
