Wah... Sianz.... another year older!!! haha....
Dan brought me to Desire at The Scarlet Hotel (a boutique hotel at on Erskine Rd near Club Street) for dinner on the 27th Aug to celebrate my 27th birthday.
This restaurant is very cozy, it has a very unique decor with red and black as the theme color.

For Appetizer,
Dan had French Onion Consomme: Clear onion soup served with cheese ravioli and caramelized white onion.
I had my ALL-TIME FAVOURITE Desire Duet: Pan seared foie gras (Ya Ya... HIGH Cholestrol.. but I cant help it... anyway it's once a year, should be ok!!) and warm foie gras custard (I know, foie gras custard sounds abit gross but its really good, taste abit like chawanmushi.. haha) with poached pear.
They served freshly baked bread (still warm!!). They had olive bread, sun-dried tomatoes bread(My personal fav) and onion bread.
For the main course,
Both of us had beef tenderloin - Char Grilled Chateaubriand: Center cut beef tenderloin with potato rosti (WOW!!! The rosti is puuuurrrrfect), sauteed mushrooms in porcini jus topped with bordeaux butter (This butter is so yummy!!!)
We then shared a dessert which is yet my another ALL-TIME FAV...Creme brulee.
We ordered the Chestnut Creme Brulee: Chestnut custard topped with a layer of caramelized sugar crust and walnut gelato sandwich. Dessert, I must say is not really good... I have tried better Creme Brulee... Quite dissappointing...
After dinner, we went to dempsey hill and had a drink before heading home!!!
