Dinner for Derrick's birthday was at Bistro One Zero Three. A small cosy restaurant tucked along Pasir Panjang Road. To be honest, if der didn't bring me there, I would never have bother going in even if i walked past it.
It was a little different this year as der wanted to plan for his birthday instead of the other way round. Well, since I'm always the one introducing all the good food (even though he hardly appreciates food), it's high time he finds something! heh
For starters, we ordered the escargots. They were big and plump :) I specially love the sauce the escargots were in - a thick creamy sauce with cheese on top. Dip the garlic bread into the sauce... awww HEAVENLY... u just can't stop eating. Der ate 2 despite being scared haha*Tip* for small eaters, the escargots comes with 2 garlic bread. So don't have to order more. As we were not informed, we ordered another portion of garlic bread. Fortunately for us, the sauce was so heavenly, the extra bread came in handy. Oh and the garlic bread was very good too. I think everyone should try it.
The main course was Pork Neck and Crispy Duck Leg.
I choose the duck leg from just the initial looks of it, as the pork neck looked more like something der will order instead as the meat looked tough. I was horribly WRONG! Do not be deceived by it's outer appearance. It was the most tender 2 pieces of meat ever. I never knew pork could be so tender. Eat it together with the caramelized onion sauce. Amazing combination ~
My duck leg on the other hand was a tad disappointing. The sides of the duck was over cooked, leaving some parts too hard to eat. Thus the portion of the duck meat left for me to savour was vastly minimized. The extremely crispy duck skin and the well cooked vegetable sides did saved the dish though.
The meal ended with Panna Cotta, It was a fantastic choice!! The dessert was so smooth and rich, I wanted to lick up the bowl. I'm feeling hungry while typing this now...
Overall I feel like going back to try the pastas. I heard praises about it from the customers when I was eating over there :)
