we went there for dinner again on a weekend with Z&A..
LG wanna tried their steak this time.. so we ordered two Dinner Sets + two other main courses, & some appetizers.. but the set looked very different from our last visit..

first came the salad.. LG ordered Caesar salad (same as last time) but all he got was some greens with a sauce on the side (left pic).. completely different from last time.. & the salad on the right was with Italian dressing..

(left) Dill Marinated Fresh Pacific Salmon & Organic Spring Mixed
(right) Baked Escargot cafe de Paris on Mashed Potato

(left) Pan Seared Froi Gras
..it's just so-so..
(right) Duck A'la Orange.. Braised Duck with Orange & Cointreau
..it was not bad..

(left) Surf & Turf with Garlic Red Wine Reduction Roasted Honey Sweet Potatoes & Seasonal Vegetables
..LG asked for Medium Rare.. but he found his steak was too "burned" on the outside.. (表面很「燶」).. he said it tasted bitter & so he asked for a change..
(right) Stirred Fried Sea Scallops & Prawn with Linguini in Light Cream

cakes..


we were guessing that they have a different chef on weekends.. that's y the food were not as good as on weekdays..
