Older or wiser?

One year olderwiser for Miss W (even though that is not her in the pic haha)!!

An exceptionally long dinner (over 3 hours) at Entourage on a quiet Sunday night to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend. Was actually glad that there were only 3 tables (including us) because we have pretty much dominated half of the restaurant as our backdrop (more on that in a bit). I mean, this is what happens when you lump a handful of girls together in a nice restaurant with a tummy full of fancy French cuisine!

The giagantic rose as the centre piece got us very intrigued...

We started off with (clockwise from top left):

1) Fresh steak tartare

2) Snails and spinach ravioli with garlic cream

3) Crab Martini with pink grapefruit and avocade mousse (personal favourite out of the three!)

4) Warm scallops salad with grilled asparagus and cured ham, sauce vierge

I liked the scallops so much an iPhone picture was called for ;)

Followed by (once again, clockwise from top):

5) Stuffed chicken breast with garlic mousse, portobello mushroom, chicken juice

6) Wild mushroom risotto, crispy parmesan (the parmesan actually caught me off guard a little bit haha)

7) Pan fried black cod fillet, crushed potatoes and meat juice

Was a fan of the cod fillet!

And then:

8) Crème brûlée with bourbon vanilla pods (no pictures as we were too busy digging in)

9) Hot chocolate fondant served with hazelnut ice cream (the ice cream was ahhhhh. I miss it already)

10) Thin apple almond tart with vanilla ice cream and butterscotch sauce (not a huge apple dessert fan normally but boy this was gooooood)

Okay, now I see why we were so full towards the end. Alas, can always work out later ;) (IF that ever happens)

And courtesy of the huge pillar blocking the other tables from seeing what we were doing, we started indulging in our own little world envying the apartment across the street and taking some of the random-est pictures :)

My favourite of the night! Somewhat scandalous but not quite there ;)

All in all, Entourage was leaning towards the pricier side but would recommend to others if French cuisine is what's on your mind. There were definitely some mindblowing dishes!

Last but not least, I can finally post what I made for Miss W :)

Good night everyone!
