A glimpse of all the delectable selection of the chefs creation

To start off the meal, we have the appetizer of Duck Confit Lasagna and Lily Bulb, Spinach with Sun Dried Tomato Essence. I find this dish very appetizing and it looked great! The chef has managed to carefully layer lily bulbs, spinach and duck confit in between slices of lasagna. The combination really work very well and this is something that gets the mood going.

After the appetizer, we move on to the Seafood Consomme with Pearl Vegetables and Egg Custard. This is much milder and subdued compared to the appetizer as from the chefs perspective, we should tone it down after high. The Consomme has a fresh taste from the vegetables and the seafood. Its interesting how they made the vegetables into pearl shape and it still retains a crunchy texture.

And after the soup, we can then select a choice of mains.
First we have the Oven Roasted Sea Bass rolled with Lobster Mousse served with Spicy Sauce. I really liked this one where you get a beautiful piece of sea bass and then its stuffed with the mousse giving it an additional taste as well as moistness. The fish cooked this way really feels much better than if its just pan fried. The spicy sauce adds to the kick as any seafood needs :)

The other mains is Grilled Chicken Supreme rolled with Asparagus and Cheese served with Morels Cream Sauce. At first, I thought I read it wrong that they are making a Morels Cream Sauce but on closer inspection, its true. Wow, first time having a morel which is a kind of mushroom though its only grown wild and thus making this such a prized tasting. The sauce has a aroma that is way more flavorful than a typical mushroom sauce which is why the chef has really outdone himself. The chicken breast is also rolled with asparagus and cheese and again this keeps the chicken very moist. They have even used 3 different type of cheese in the filling and these are chosen for their flavor, creaminess and also aroma. You may also ask for extra sauce if you finished lapping it up like me.

Finally comes the dessert themed The Ingredients of "LOVE". Hehe, they are really putting in a lot of effort to keep with the theme. Now here they have came up with Spicy Mango Cheese Cake and also Deep Fried Iced Chocolate to give the diners a sweet, sour, bitter and spicy flavor to end the dessert! It is definitely very interesting to have all these contrast on a platter and I'm sure the couples will enjoy this as well

Pralines are also provided to whet the appetite before the meals or as a nice closure
