Bistro Du Vin

 <French Onion Soup>

Awesome awesome soup! 2nd time having this. Definitely still the best French onion soup I've had in Singapore. The broth is really hearty and full of sweet plump onions braised for hours.

 <Foie Gras Ravioli>

This was my first real try at Foie Gras. I wouldn't say I love it. For me, the taste needed some adjustments of my taste buds. But I think I could get use to it.

 <Seafood Bouillabaisse>

An okay dish. I felt the white wine used was still a tad too overpowering. I would have liked the alcohol burnt off more. But that being said, the seafood were quite fresh.

 <Spring Chicken>

It looks dry on the outside, but it was really moist and nicely done on the inside. Well marinated and flavourful. The sauteed mushrooms complemented the chicken really well.

 <Grand Marnier Souffle>

As always, Souffles are always on my list of orders if a restaurant has it. Look at how high it rose. It was light, fluffy and had a good depth of Marnier to it.

<Caramelized Apple and Raisin Crumbles>

Served with roasted apple ice cream and whipped cream, it looks deceivingly plain on the outside. But the flavours were really refreshing and well balanced. A great way to end a heavy meal.

Verdict
Ambience - Good
Food - Great
Cost - $35+
Overall - Must try!

Misc Goodies!

Well, it's has been a long time since I last posted anything. Decided to take a break as my actual work was draining a lot out of me and I kinda lost interest for any other things for some time. But that didn't stop me from trying to enjoy my food in bid to relax. So here I am, posting up some miscellaneous places which I've been to since last Dec 2013. Enjoy! ^^

 <Sushi from Itacho Sushi>

3rd visit and awesome as always. All the sushi were fresh and true to their natural taste. Try it to know it!

 <Wings from Wings Stop>

They were alright, but nothing compared to 4 Fingers' wings. But Some of the wings were inconsistent in sizes and some were a tad over fried.

 <Snaffles Cheesecake from Japan>

They were light and fluffy. Great for a small snack. I wouldn't say they are great cheesecakes, but they were decent enough for me. I did find the original flavoured one a bit too sweet as it covered any taste of cheese.

 <The Waffles>

So called the best waffles from Thailand. Saw many people posting about it and I just had to try it. But one bite into it, I was totally disappointed. It was cold, tough and the toppings were pretentious. Nothing spectacular, I wouldn't buy it again.

<Crodos from Gastronomia Da Paolo>

Known by a few different names. Crodos comes from the inspiration of combining both the methods of making a croissant and donuts. These from Gastronomia had good flavours and texture to them. Really good! Oh yes, do make sure to go early and buy them. Because they are usually sold out after lunch time.
