Le Bistrot @ Stadium Walk

It was my bf's bday and he wanted a simple meal.....so i made a reservation at this french bistro.
It's pretty nice and romantic but the wait staff accidentally smashed a glass onto my feet. he apologized and insisted on 'making up' to me. i politely declined and felt that is unnecessary since i did not suffer any injuries. however he still brought out 2 flutes of champagne as a gesture of apology.

we ordered 3 courses each - starter, main & dessert.

for starter, i ordered Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée: basically means french onion soup. this is a HUGE bowl of soup and one of the very best i've had! :D

Bf ordered Caviar du Pauvre (Poor Man's Caviar): it's 3 tiers consisting eggplant and garlic purée, chicken liver mousse and Pernod crème fraîche. it comes in a huge jar and if you could actually finish that, your stomach will have no space left for anything else :P Oh, and my bf LOVED it!

For mains, bf ordered Confit de Cuisses de Canard - duck leg confit.
It's very good - the skin is crisp! But it comes in 2 legs and that's a lot for us! ( we regrettedly finished less than 1 leg...and left the other untouched)

i ordered a Grilled Rack of Lamb encrusted in some herbs and nuts...again the portion is too big for me. I had it medium and it's pretty tender :)

for dessert, bf ordered Crème Brulée platter of three flavours: bourbon vanilla bean, elderflower and dark chocolate. Pretty good...

And i ordered something sinful and very devestating:
Grand Chocolat Chaud du Bistrot: Le Bistrot's signature Hot Chocolate: molten 72%
dark chocolate couverture, aged Trinadad rum and steamed milk, served with chocolate ice cream, macaron and Opera
Basically we get to mix our own concoction of choco, rum & milk. YUM! Oh and the macarons are fantastic! (for this dessert i add $8 to the set meal)

For a mere $55 per person for the set meal (excl top ups, drinks and taxes), this is very value for money!!

Rating: ddd (very value for money)
