. The Tasting Palette .

And so J and I are back at Au Petit Salut for lunch on a Saturday. This time, we went with my sister, Zhiwen and Grace to celebrate Zhiwen's birithday. It started to drizzle by the time we got there but the weather did little to dampen our spirits. In fact, it was just the perfect weather for al fresco dining.

We chatted with fresh baguette and butter before our starters arrive. I ordered my favourite baked burgundy snails with olive oil, garlic, basil and tomatoes. My sis and Grace thinks that they hit the spot too! Zhiwen ordered the homemade duck sausages with mesclun salad while J decided to take comfort with a bowl of hot and thick pumpkin soup.

For the mains, we each ordered a different one. I decided to go for penne pasta with tomatoes and eggplants. I'm such a sucky for eggplants. I had wanted to order the veal tenderloin but changed my mind cause I've been eating too much red meats lately.

For desserts, the table was full of tempting colourful sweets. I ordered the festive dessert- The fruit cake (with figs, strawberries etc) complemented with gingerbread ice-cream. Grace had the choux buns with vanilla ice cream, Zhiwen had the dark chocolate and hazelnut mousse with coffee ice cream, sis had the passionfruit souffle, while J had the simplest fruit salad with lime sorbet. I love my dessert especially the ice-cream though I found the fruit cake a little too sweet for me. Thankfully, they were in a small portion so it was still manageable.

The restaurant was full hence the service was a slightly slower than usual. Not that we minded because company's good.

J's favourite braised beef

Steak and fries that my sis and Grace ordered
They commented that the fries taste healthy. The rest of us concluded that they were being delusional.
