Reservation pour trois svp...

My friends and I are complete foodies and we have been anticipating to try the Michelin star restaurant by head chef Pascal Nibaudeau ever since we booked our holiday. Table was booked... and we ate very light and bland during the day to saviour our tastebuds!  The restaurant was situated on the 1st floor of the Grand Hotel so we enjoyed a few aperitifs before we sat down on our table. Although the setting was formal, the staff were so friendly and even gave us a little souvenir at the end to make our dinner that little more special.

Entrees.. lobster macaron(absolutely amazing), savoury chocolate bite,

Tempura herbs, breadsticks with a mustard mayonnaise dip. 

Amuse Bouche...lobster and butter sauce

Sea bass and Aquitaine caviar with oysters and a sour cream sauce. 

Wild Turbot roasted on the bone and oyster béarnaise and two different
sauces, red wine and Choron sauce.

Palette cleanser: Melon puree with mint ice cream. 

Dessert- Lemon and Raspberry Vacherin... to be honest i didn't really

know what i was ordering at apart from the fact i knew it was going to be lemon and raspberries haha...when it turned out so pretty, i was really happy. 

Seasons at Rachel's Kitchen Finally Printing!!!

Happy Birthday to Seasons at Rachel's Kitchen! After all the hard work and sleepless nights.. you've done it Rachel!!! The book is finally printing! I enjoyed every minute of this project and working with you was so incredible... our artistic visions collided and I am so proud of what we have done (although there is always room for improvement obviously). Thank you so much for this opportunity. Thank you for all the 'after' work... I had the fun part and you were left behind with all the hard work!  I am sad that i can't be around Hk when it comes out but I can't wait for our next project!
