. The Tasting Palette .

The Cellar Door has always been one of my favourite place for comfort food. First of all, it's a cozy, and warm restaurant along Bukit Timah road. Second, because J used to work there, the people are extra nice to us when we go by.

Grace, J and I were thinking of a place to go for Sunday brunch. We thought of going to P.S cafe at Tanglin Village but somehow, I much preferred The Cellar Door for it's New Zealand/Aussie inspired food. I was in fact anticipating the taste of the Eggs Pacifico ( Poached eggs with salmon on toast drenched with hollandaise sauce). Actually, J volunteered to cook brunch for us. He couldn't because he didn't manage to buy hollandaise sauce and it was too troublesome to make our own sauce.

Anyway, I had my Eggs Pacifico while grace had Eggs Benedict. J was more adventurous (or rather because he knew I was interested to try their new dish) and he ordered a ratatouille tart with bell pepper coulis. This dish sounded really fascinating right? I thought so too. Ratatouille(not the rat) is basically stewed vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes and herbs. The sauce was made from the puree of bell peppers and the yellow and orange colour just makes the dish a delight to eat.

For dessert, we shared a baked apple pastry with cream. This was really below my expectations. Though I did not expect anything fancy, this one was merely a few slices of apples on top of a puff pastry. I'll stick to my Kapiti ginger and lemongrass ice cream or vanilla bean ice cream anytime. =) It's one of the better brands of ice-cream out there.

On the whole, it was an enjoyable brunch with my favourite people. =))
