Fine Dining - Indochine Nude (My birthday celebration)

A big thank you to Cynthia and Liping for a big expensive treat to Indochine ..

We chose NUDE which is fine dining.



We ordered 2 starters and a dish each

Our starters came....



The first one is a combination of shells. Scallops, Mussels and Oysters. The second one is a platter of starters that consists of most of the starters on the menu. I didnt get to try the duck roll but according to Cynthia and especially Liping, the duck roll was very nice.

N the rest of the items were not bad as well.

Then came our mains...



The first was ordered by Cynthia, its chicken in lemon juice. Freaking salty. Tastes abit like some salted fish in chicken style. haha.... which we were all trying hard to help finish.

The second was ordered by Liping. Black Pepper beef. VERY NICE!! Extremely tender beef cubes spiced evenly with pepper. Not too spicy and not too mild. It was just nice. The round nest is actually made of yam which was very hard - a very nice indian manager made the effort to help us cut it into pieces coz according to him its tasty coz its very crispy. I found it ok. haha..

Lastly its the beef stew with potatoes. Its not bad. But i think Tao's better. Its stew is thicker than Tao's but Tao's stew taste is stronger.

We were contemplating if we should order dessert when one of 'us' (cannot say who) suggested that maybe they would have some birthday promo or discount.

N so the one of us shamelessly did us the honour of asking that super friendly indian manager. We waited quite long to catch his attention and making sure that we don't catch any other servers or managers. haha....

N the manager was very nice. He offered to get me a dessert of my choice.

Den... my free dessert came....



Lemongrass creme brulee. Creme brulee with a rather strong lemongrass smell and a scoop of vanilla ice cream by the side with a candle for me to blow out.
