Both gal and I took leave today to celebrate Valentine's Day. We went for a KTV session before heading over to Absinthe for dinner. Absinthe is a French restaurant, and it is actually open by OSO Ristorante Owner, which is beside it.
Been to OSO and loved the food there, we were looking forward to the dishes at Absinthe.
The complimentary bread was nice and fragrant, juz like OSO's!
Sweet, White Wine for Gal and Red Wine for me
The first course of the night, Talaki of Wagyu Beef, Marinated Egg Yolk and Truffle Dressing. The presentation of the dish was just like an art piece! Not only did it look good, it taste great as well!
Seared Hokkaido Scallop and Prawn-Cep Raviole, Mushroom Foam.
The scallop is very fresh and very "Q"!
Pan Fried Foie Gras with Warm Blinis and Marinated Cherries. We love Foie Gras, and this was easily one of the best the we have tried before. It literally melts in your mouth and the seasoning was unique as well, with a tinge of cherry taste.
Gal's main course, Seared John Dory Fillet with Crushed Potatoes, Spinach and Shellfish Hollandaise Sauce. The fillet was crispy on the skin side, while the meat retained its moisture. It was our first time seeing spinach served with dory fillet and hollandaise sauce, and it was delicious!
My Milk-Fed Veal Tenderloin served with Mashed Potato, Green Beans and Morel Sauce. When the dish was first served, it did not look like a tenderloin to me, more like a thick piece of ham perhaps.
With the tenderloin cook at medium rare, it was very tender and juicy! It just makes you crave for more!
The last course of the night, Warm Chocolate Fondant, Clementine Creme Brulee and Passion Fruit Blane Mange.
Roses for the Ladies!
This photo was actually taken by the Chef himself!
Honoured! =)
We will definitely be back someday. The service was good, and it has great ambience. Most importantly, it serves great food.
When it comes to French Cuisine, most people will think that the portion would be very small and it is expensive, but not at Absinthe. They strive to serve delicious dishes in generous portion at affordable price! =)
