Great foie gras terrine, pretty sure it is the best thing on the menu. I never knew aloe vera could work so well with foie gras. It would nice to have some cracker or bread to eat it with though.
- The charcuterie is pretty good overall though the duck rillettes could have used a little more fat.
- The pate en croute is so-so. I’m just not a fan of it in general.
- The beef tartare is well seasoned with the right level of salt and acid, though the portion is something I’m not quite used to. Lots of beef but only 3 tiny pieces of crouton. Is this how tartare is typically enjoyed?
- The chicken thigh from the restaurant week menu is well seasoned, well cooked, even if it looks more like a dish from a hawker western stall.
- The house wine (merlot) is worth getting.
- The cafe gourmand (i.e. chef dessert selection) consists of a chocolate hazelnut ganache that is like a sweet equivalent of the foie gras terrine.
While there are hits and misses, it is definitely worth visiting the restaurant for the hits.
