the kerning in this annoys me

Yes, I do realise this post is going to make me sound a tad bit like some rich bitch...

So I recently got back to Singapore again from London.. and my dad decided to bring me out for some good food, especially since my eating habits in London are understandably much more "studenty/budgety"..

I was planning to catch up on my sleep and wake up at some digustingly late hour, enjoy some SIMPLE home-cooked food (that I was actually really looking forward to) and get some much needed work done.. But I got woken up by mom saying my dad wants to go out for lunch. This was of course after he had decided the previous night that we'll go for lunch some other day and not today -.-

But I can't really complain when the food was so good and good food makes me happy =)

For lunch we went to Les Amis, the restaurant with it's ever changing decor.. The number of times that damn place has been renovated is unbelievable.. I swear they changed the carpeted wall colours again since the last time I was there, which was at the start of this year.. This is what it looks like now :


Started off the meal with this -
*edit: actually no wait, there was this mini appetizer but it looked and smelled so good that I just popped it in my mouth before realising that I didn't take a photo of it..


It's like poached egg wrapped in parama ham and in a curved piece of some sort of crispy bread.. on erm, something =x It's really yummy =) I remember the presentation looking slightly prettier the last time round and the bread being erm, taller.. so after much digging I found the pic i shot of it the last time I had it:


Then I had one of my favourite foods on earth, pan fried foie gras:


If you look closely you sort of see this white thing on the curved piece of bread. It's actually champagne foam! Thought that was really interesting..

Then we had dory fish in an onion soup base.. And I guess I was too hungry and just ate it as soon as the dish touched the table because I just realised that I don't have a photo of it.. er oops..

Main course was a steak-


And yea I think I just wanted to eat the yummy food because I moved the two pieces of ravioli and messed up the arrangement a bit before I realised that I had yet to take a photo of it.. oops again..

Then dessert! The waiter kept recommending the sorbet but my parents didn't want to try it, so I thought that I might as well order it


It comes in a block, like a cake, with each coloured layer being different flavours. Each layer is then separated by a thin piece of chocolate. It was so pretty! Was expecting something more like scoops in a glass.. and the dark brown thing next to it was like this thin chocolate cake casing with warm chocolate sauce inside.. That was also another pleasant surprise. Yes I do have a major sweet tooth..

And then my parents decided that we'll stay out for dinner as well and decided to treat me to a meal at Yoyogi, which is along Mohammed Sultan road. Really like it there 'cause the head chef/owner and his staff are all really friendly and quite funny at times too =) One of the chefs, Patrick, he's 29years old and when my mom said quite candidly that she doesn't believe him (he looks older) his whole face changed to an appalled look in a joking sort of manner. Just one of the many entertaining moments of the night =)

And the food! I'm getting lazy to type more so I'll mainly just spam with pictures.. trying to get back to the habit of blogging, but er slowly! -







I love this pasta.. It's cold angel hair with tiny cripsy (dried?) prawns and those yummy tiny orange eggs, that for some reason I can't remember right now what it's called.. And truffle oil. I love truffle oil.. yea have I mentioned that this post is going to make me sound like some sort of rich bitch.. oh and the plate and fork are all chilled before serving. I love little extra touches like that =)


My favourite sushi, fatty tuna that's been torched -

Yes, there's always room for dessert (:
(and yes, again I got too eager to eat the food and messed up the arrangement before I shot a photo of it)
