Special Food for a Special Day



Today, being a special day, we needed to burn that Credit Card on one of the fanciest restaurants in Singapore. Founded by Les Amis, Au Jardin is a quiet haven located in the Botanic Gardens. French cuisine with a slightly Asian twist and Australian products prepared by a local Chef. It was difficult to decide on a dish from the three-course 'Table d'hôte' menu we chose. Everything sounded good. I went for the Confit d'Abalone since I never tried any before. I am not sure on how the 'real' thing tastes like but this was definitely a very nice introduction. It was followed by a nice poilée of mushrooms and for the main I had to go for the halibut which I had not tasted since a trip to Alaska some 6 or 7 years back. I hardly had enough room for the desert. A special restaurant for a one-off celebration. I am glad to have tried it. For the atmosphere, I still prefer Flutes at the Fort though.

nb: the picture above does not unfortunately do justice to the sliced confit abalone
