. The Tasting Palette .

On a side note, I just found out that "Papillon" is the french word for "butterfly".

Our second time at Le Papillon is still as enjoyable as the first.
My main gripe is still the bread and dessert.

The bread loaf looked pale when served and it was hard and tasteless. The butter served was on the other hand was salty to boot.

Desserts were less than mediocre; the presentation in itself did nothing to save it. The profiteroles were served looked rather miserable and I will not post photo of it.

Other than that, the starter and mains were lovely.
Simple but lovely.

My starter was a warm grilled apple salad. It's essentially a very simple dish. However, the tartness of apple was well contrasted with the crumbly feta bits that serves up a distinctive salty flavour. All this combined with another strong flavoured ingredient- the rocket leaves or Argula salad. This made me excited to get my own cast iron grill pan! Imagine the possibilities that I could create with that!

Wild Mushroom soup

J ordered the wild mushroom soup which was really good too. At least this did not deface the name of mushroom soup.

As for mains, I ordered the fried sea bream which was nicely fragrant and crispy on the outside while being tender on the inside. The sauce that went with it was really interesting with tiny salmon roe served with grilled zucchini. Zucchinis are very much underrated in this part of the world. Most people would think that it is merely a large cucumber. However, it is nothing like the cucumber as it is usually served cooked. Also, it is the key ingredient in Ratatouille.

J ordered the pan seared pork rack which was done well. However, the only complaint was that it was a little boring to finish the huge piece alone.

I hope to go back pretty soon to try out their seasonal menu with French Périgord Winter Black Truffles!The angel hair pasta sauteed tiger prawns and truffle butter suace with shaved winter black truffles sound really good! So does the Black Winter Truffle and crab risotto with parmesan cheese!
