As I wrote in the preceding post, here are pics of that dinner that my husband brought in from Safran Restaurant. I have to say that the food was very good and this restaurant really deserves all the great reviews they have been getting. The Executive Chef, Laura Lam (formerly of Monsoon Restaurant) really delivers.
Safran Roll (grilled shrimp, scallop, fried calamari, mango and avocado topped with caviar)
Beef oxtail soup
Sticky black rice (steamed in coconut juice)
Black and white mushroom sampler (shiitake, oyster, woodear, enoki and cauliflower mushroom)
To end the meal we had this cake from Les Desirs Patisserie aptly named as Senator cake (vanilla sponge with lemon filling, fresh strawberries and vanilla icing). Simply decadent!
Now, who cares about dieting?
Hi Juliana.
The food looks all so good. I also like the presentation, and off course your pics, five stars!
I wouldn´t mind trying the first dish, I´m a seafood lover, but the mushrooms look good too. I only have black mushrooms when I go out to the Chinese restaurant, here we only have white.
…and the strawberry cake, yummie!
Happy Holidays.
Yummy!
Those Safran rolls look delicious. I ate similar ones in Hong Kong. My mouth is watering just looking at the pictures…
yummy food in deed!!!
I’d love a piece of that cake, please!
advanced Happy New Year!
Wow! Straight out of a glossy cookery book, I just dribbled over my laptop!
your husband really knows how to please your palate. i gained a pound drooling over the pictures.
Wow~~ shouldn’t read your blog when I’m feeling hungry~~ food looks good!
Hi, Juliana. I think, all of those foods, I like the best the first one and the black rice with coconut juice.
Have a happy new year to you and to the family.
