Back to Bistro for the umpteenth time. We’ve lost count of our visits.

Cream Of Celeriac

Can you smell it? Cream of celeriac with freshly shaved black summer truffles. One word: wow.

Seared Trevally

Seared trevally with black truffle jelly & parsnip puree. A fish that features the meaty texture of sea bass & the sweet taste of pomfret. Thrillingly presented, like a UFO of cooking, topped with a slice of jelly & a sliver of truffle for earthy enhancement.

Terrine

Foie gras & quince paste jelly terrine with champagne jelly, apple salad, gherkins & capers. We order goose liver terrine whenever it surfaces on any menu; Bistro a Table’s breathtaking interpretation ranks near the very best. Buttery, melt-in-the-mouth bliss.

Veloute

Scallops with ginger cream & shallot veloute. Masterful, with exquisitely juicy scallops cooked somewhere between sashimi & seared.

Bistro-a-Table-Restaurant-Review5

Duck Confit

Eight-hour-cooked duck confit, alongside accompaniments that complement the meat so well: puy lentils, beetroot orange salad & candied kumquats.

Slow-Braised Rabbit

Kill the wabbit! Slow-braised rabbit in red wine stew with duck fat-roasted chat potatoes.

Bistro-a-Table-Restaurant-Review7

Grand Marnier Ice Cream

Grand Marnier ice cream, freshly churned on order with Chef Isadora’s new Pacojet machine. Three words: alcoholic ice cream. With the focus on “alcoholic” & “cream.”

Tart Tatin

Apple tart tatin with Mexican vanilla ice cream, another product of the RM18K PacoJet.

Chocolate Fondant

Chocolate fondant, version 2.0. This improved recipe is matched (in heaven) with concentrated milk ice cream (the PacoJet sure stays busy!) instead of vanilla creme anglaise.

Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate mousse with Milo & hazelnut praline. A smooth, sweet-talking player that seduces the taste buds with a dark, bittersweet edge.

Bistro-a-Table-Restaurant-Review11

Bavarois

Caramelized banana & coconut bavarois. Sugary stuff, with a fragrant, fragile lusciousness.

The Ultimate Hot Chocolate

The menu calls this “the ultimate hot chocolate,” more decadent-tasting than one might expect. A knockout end to a knockout meal.
