All set for the feasting at Brasserie Les Saveurs. We are always looking forward to Restaurant Week. This is the only opportunity for our to try some of the fine dining restaurant at an affordable price.
At the entrance
The interior design of the restaurant is posh!
Like the tall ceiling, making it even more grand.
Evenly the ceiling is nicely decorated.
Complimentary bread to start with.
Another complimentary starter from the chef.
Forgot the name of this dish, Tomato Tartar perhaps?
It has a strong vegetable taste though, tomato?
Tonight's dinner was a 3-course meal. For the starters, there were 3 selections to choose from: Foie Gras Terrine, Salad with Blue cheese and mustard dressing, and lastly the Roasted Tomato Soup. It was a straight forward choice!
We chose the Foie Gras Terrine and the Roasted Tomato Soup to share.
The preparation of the Terrine was ultimate, purist experience of foie gras. The foie gras has rich, buttery taste, and I guess only salt and pepper are added to it. It would be better if we have bread to go along with it.
It was not too bad, but we had tried better ones at Absinthe, O.S.O, or even at White Rabbit.
Spicy Roasted Tomato Soup. It had olives, tomato tartar and basil in it. It was surprisingly delicious, especially when i don't really like tomato.
Up next, our main course. There were also 3 selections for the main course:
- Risotto (Baby artichoke risotto with Parmesan cheese and cream sauce,
- Fillet de Boeuf (Roast beef tenderloin)
- Vivaveau en Piperade (Oven-baked Red Snapper)
Gal's Oven Baked Red Snapper. It was served with Parma ham and garlic. French cuisine is known for its nice presentation of the food and the small portion, and this certain fit the criteria. =x
Most important, the fish fillet was very fresh. It was soft and tender, and it was not too dry. The unique sauce combine superbly with the fish fillet.
My Roasted Beef Tenderloin with red wine sauce, paired with polenta sticks and salads. Requested my beef to be done in medium rare and it was perfect! Not too bloody, which was a plus point.
The outer layer of the beef is slightly crispy and has a slight burnt taste, but it was delicious! The polenta sticks were also quite nice. It tasted a bit like toufu or potato. =p
Ok, the photo did not do justice to the food. The place was quite dark and it was awkward to keep flashing while taking photos.
Look at the cross-section of the beef!
Nicely done, yummy! (^_^)
Our last course of the night, desserts!
There were only 2 choices, hence we chose both of them.
Pomme Verte. The top layer was a slow-baked apple, followed by a green apple sorbet, sitting on top of the calvados custard cream. Not only it was an art piece, it was simply irresistible! Nice!
My Chocolat, which consist of Trio of chocolate mousse with coffee ice-cream. It was a dish which you can experience 3 different taste of the chocolate! Bitter, sweet and milky! Love the coffee ice-cream too!
It was a great way to end the night with great desserts! looking forward to the next Restaurant Week in October! =)
