. The Tasting Palette .

Lunches tend to be overlooked.
People spend time, money and effort to create romantic, memorable moments with their loved one during dinners.
High-teas are meant for a get together with a girlfriend to chatter the afternoon away.
On the other hand, lunch is often eaten quickly, to fill one's tummy and to get on ahead with the day.

I, for one, am a firm believer of good lunches. A good lunch will chase away the morning blues and will brighten one's mood for the rest of the day.

I'm fortunate to have had two very good lunches this week- the first was with my parents at Inagiku. The second was at Au Petit Salut with J.

These two restaurants are my all-time favourite- that's no secret.

I tried the new item on Inagiku's menu- Chiraishi with the freshest seafood.
It was darn perfect! could have this again and again.

At Au Petit Salut, I had the thinly sliced veal with tuna sauce with argula salad. This is reminiscent of the starter I had at Joel Robuchon. The pan fried sea bass is done just right and it comes with a sauce that best complements it- tomato coulis with ratatouille. And did I mention how much I like the dessert. Pear and almond tart. Yums! I should make this sometime soon. I love the sweet almond flavour of the pastry tart. The blackcurrent sorbet flavour seemed too strong for the tart but it's good all the same.

I felt really good after the lunches. The food was good, the company was good. That's what I call a power lunch!
