Fine Dining - Broth (My birthday treat from lil bee)

I went over to pick up dar dar and Jo-ann at Mandarin hotel and headed over to Duxton Hill together. Little bee wanted to treat me for my bday at Broth, the restaurant he's working in.




He's raved to me many times about how nice AND EXPENSIVE the food at his restaurant is. haha.. finally getting to try it for myself!

We were first served the bread...



and our orders were taken under their recommendations.

For starters....



We had baby spinach and goose liver.

The baby spinach looked quite special. It was a layer of leaves and a layer of mushroom. Very uniquely designed. Overall the taste was ok.

As for the goose liver, it tasted very special and yummy on first bite. Its very cripsy on the outside (most probably pan fried). its not powdery. In fact, it tastes a little bit fatty? i duno if im describing it correctly. Its nice but u cant eat too much of it or u'll feel really sick of it.

We were also offered glasses of wine and rosay (i hope i spelt rosay correctly).


and many other drinks...



Btw, they last pic is the sugar. Haha.. i liked the way their sugar cubes looked. =P


For the mains, we had...



The beef, the mahi mahi (fish) and kangaroo!

The beef was nice!! It was my favourite main dish though it wasnt totally special.

We didnt really like the mahi mahi coz we found the fish abit too tough. But the sauce was very nice.

And the kangaroo meat... this little bee upon serving us asked us if we found it cruel to eat kangaroo meat and that kinda... got us abit off the mood for the kangaroo meat! miu~* The kangaroo meat tastes a little like beef but its slightly more chewy. N for some reasons, indeed because kangaroo meat was unusual, i visualising a kangaroo in my mind. hahaha....

Lastly for our dessert....



We ordered the 3 more popular items upon their recommendations.

The first one is the chocolate moose. The cup shaped tart tasted a little like digestive biscuits and the middle part had a very sour sauce. It was Jo-ann's favourite out of the 3 desserts.

The second one is the sticky date pudding. MY FAVOURITE! My expression tells it all when i sampled it. Jo-ann and dar dar could see my face light up immediately after i tried it. The top is sour cream and the cake is covered with butterscotch. My god... that combination is a killer. i felt flutters in my heart and sparkles all around. I'm flying~ hahahhahaha! It was DAT GOOD!!! Little bee was saying that the next time we play mj at his place he'll try to ta bao for me! haha

The last pic is the highly recommended apple tart with ice cream. It tastes special unlike the other apple tarts we've tried before. went very well with the ice cream. According to the guys, you can never go wrong with the apple tart. haha....
