The Weekend That Was - Fine Dining At Heaven Gate + Grand Uncle's Birthday Celebration
By Melissa - Monday, May 11, 2015
Noon: A bout of illness, busy schedules and bad timing were the causes for this belated birthday celebration.
A sign of growing up - Planning way in advance for any social excursions or meet-ups. It is one of my realizations, after turning 26. No more random Friday afternoon texts to hang out. Most of the time, social gatherings are scheduled at least two weeks in advance.
We (Annie and I) managed to finally align our timing two weeks before this luncheon eventuated and decided on Heaven Gate just a day before.
The both of us loved the restaurant's posh interior, inviting ambience and sumptuous food. Placing a reservation a day or two before is highly recommended as we saw walk-in patrons being turned down several times when we were there.
Soup - Forest Wild Mushroom Soup with Portobello dumpling.
Appetizer - Pan Seared Diver Scallop, served with cauliflower puree and apple jelly.
Main (Annie's) - Jumbo Prawns Gamberi Linguine with Saffron Tomato Sauce.
Main (yours truly's) - Norwegian Salmon with pea sprouts, young corn, tapenade and potato cream.
Dessert - Pandan Coconut Creme Brulee, served with Pain Perdu.
We decided to indulge in some churros afterwards. It was a treat, and a deliciously decadent one at that.
