Laurence invited me and Shaowei to dinner on Tuesday, at Au Jardin by Les Amis. Her parents and uncle were in town and they also invited a close family (couple) friend along.
The food was excellent! I haven't had French cuisine for a long time. We had a 4-course meal called Table D'Hote , and here's what I ate:
1. Hors d-oeuvres: Foie Gras (pan fried foie gras with confit chicken wing and pickled raisin puree)
2. Entrees: Crab meat (Steamed broiche with crab meat, Avruga caviar)
3. Main dish: Veal (low temperature roasted Australian veal rack, carrots glazed with cardamom and orange)
4. Dessert : Guanaja Chocalate (Warm guanaja chocolate moelleux, pistachio ice-cream)
I must say the meal was fantastic, and the dessert was chocolate cake which was crispy on the outside and warm and goo-y on the inside. It was a meal that you would savour if it was your last day on earth! The red wine was from a chateau in St-Emilion, and it was a premier grand cru - extremely smooth and it went very well with the red meat.
Thanks to Laurence and her family for the lovely dinner - I certainly enjoyed it!
