ABBAmania + Daniel Boulud's bistro
Boss bought tickets for us to Abba concert @ Marina Bay Sands..coupled w dinner @ the DB bistro..
1st course: Appetizer..choice of duck, salad or soup..this duck is supposed to be their specialty..but to us, maybe we are not connoiseurs, but really..this dish did not go down well w us..had to go with the bread provided as is on the salty side..
Caesars Salad..decided to play safe and ordered this..afterall it's difficult to go wrong w vegetables..
2nd course: main course: choice of stuffed chicken thigh, salmon or ricotti.. chose stuffed chicken thigh..ate 2 and found it quite "ge-lat" and too salty so gave the 3rd piece away..but the mashed potato was really good..the mushrooms were far too salty as well.. overdose of salt..
3rd course: desserts: choice of creme brulee with expresso ice-cream, fruit cake w sherbets or assorted ice-cream. As creme brulee is my fav and came highly recommended, naturally I made it my choice. The creme brulee was impressive...not too sweet and the burnt sugar was crispy, broke when i lightly touched it w my spoon..and the expresso ice-cream! Boy, that was fantastic..for a coffee fan like me.. came also w coffee jelly..yummy yummy~
this fruit cake w sherbets is really good as well..expected the fruit cake to be something like the ones we have for xmas but no! it's more like carrot cake w a layer of cheese on top...thumbs up!!
As an ending note, we were served coffee/tea..sugar came in cubes w evaporated milk...nice coffee.. Overall, we loved the desserts but found the food salty..do not think will come again..
