Farewell, Chef D'Table

Chef D'Table officially announced on their Facebook page that they will ceased their operations on 11 Jun 14. Thus, we quickly gather ourselves & arrange for a date for a final chance to dine in before she officially closes her door

Sam made reservations via Chope & were assigned to the table in their private corner

Menu items offered was slightly different from out past 2 visits

Oh. We super love this Olive spread

Complimentary freshly baked bread were served after placing our orders. It was so good we even asked for refills!

Us =)

Some starters to kick off the dinner

Angeline & myself had Escargots. Not one of the best but still good. Would be nice if there were more garlic

Theresa's Wild Mushroom Soup w/ Parmesan Crisp. NO complains from her =)

Duck Liver w/ Grilled Apple & Brandied Prunes. Angeline comments that it's pretty good

Sam's Salted Egg Scallops w/ Apple Glaze. Definitely a rare & wonderful find in a European restaurant.

Hong's Braised Pork Ribs w/ Black Pepper sauce & Butter rice proofs to be the best item for him(typical men needs rice)! The ribs is flavorful & tender

Sam & myself had Salmon Fillet w/ Foie Gras. Salmon is nicely done with a little crisp on the skin. Foie Gras cubes are fragrant & creamy. Superb!

Angeline's Grilled Beef Loin w/ Red Wine Jus is also nicely done as reqquested & tender

Theresa's Chicken en Croute w/ Velouté Mozzarella. A little too cheesy to my liking.

Valrhona Chocolate Fondant - The main thing we're here for!

All of us ordered the same dessert as this is the best lava cake we've had so far!

Ooi, Theresa ~~ stop photo-bombing me lah!

We were all highly anticipating the oozing of the lava, but we were disappointed. The lava didn't really flow as much & as smooth as our previous visit. But nevertheless, the taste still remains.

Although slightly disappointed on the dessert, we still enjoyed our meal =)

Farewell, Chef D'Table

July Babies Birthday @ Chef d'Table

Chef d'Table - The last time we came here on Dec'12, it was for my Birthday and we were impressed with their service & food. Over the weekend, we're back here for another Birthday Celebration & to see if they are still as good!

Restaurant setting

Table setting.

Theresa & myself opt for the 4-course Chef's Menu to save our brain cells from dying while Sam choose to have only an entree & main dish. Jiaming who need to leave early for another gathering with friends opt for only main course.

Just like the last time, a basket of bread was served before our meal. The breads are served warm & are soft. The Olive dip is very nice!

Sam's entree - Foie Gras. The aroma of the dish can be smelt before it reaches the table.

Entree for the Chef's Menu - Mushroom Tofu. Soft & crispy homemade beancurd with truffle sauce

Jiaming needs to leave early, so we snap a pix before she left

Soup for the Chef's Menu - Lobster Bisque

Jiaming's Main Dish - Pink Dory. It was fresh & the lemon butter goes quite well with the fish, ut Sam feels its too buttery for her liking. Ms Alyssa tried a small piece of it & she likes, so Theresa ordered for her also.

Main dish for Chef's menu is a choice of Chicken, Seabass & Angus Beef. I was feeling beefy, so I opt for beef. It was again nicely done to my liking of medium rare & it was very soft & tender. This time round, the portion is slightly bigger compared to the previous time
