We decided to enjoy a nice meal at one of the many restaurants in Singapore. We tried Les Amis, which has 3 Michelin stars, but they had a rigid requirement of having to eat 3 courses - which I just cannot manage. So we opted for another french restaurant - Claudines - instead. They had bouillabaisse (for the fish/pulpo/prawn eaters)and ile flottante for me!
Beo Lan kindly drove us there. It was a lovely setting - a former RC church, in Dempsey Hill. Some pics...
A shared bouillabaisse - a mixed seafood casserole, from Marseille, in the south of France. There is a lot there that I don't eat, but seafood makes a beautiful looking meal!
I had Murray Cod, which was another name for barramundi - or is it the other way round?!
Kin mun had lobster roll. Sorry, no pic.
And dessert was a re-constructed ile flottante! Ile flottante, literally floating island, is poached meringue adrift on custard, and other decorations like caramel, nuts and whatever the cook decides.
Very unusually, it came to the table like this: We were given careful instructions on how to deconstruct it.
Firstly, you lift the lid:
And then you pierce the meringue to allow the custard to flow over the base of the plate.
All lots of fun!
