Hiden inside a small 3-storey white colonial house, this French restaurant is one of the best in Singapore. The "white house" was built in 1920, used to be home of Mr. Corner. Most furniture & decorations still restored until now. Ground floor is wine cellar and sitting room for pre & post dinner drinks. Upstairs dinning area. Eating in this restaurant was like dinning in a cottage house in my friend's grandma home in Europe, a very warm feeling. The restaurant only has 13 tables, maximum can accommodate 50 guest. 3 days prior booking is recommended. Au Jardin is French words, meaning "in the garden". Chef flexibly creates dishes using fresh & season ingredients. Menu changed every 3 months.
First course Marinated Longoustines with Oscietre Caviar & Baby Mache Cray Fish. It's simply refreshing, sweet, and fragrant! Awesome!
Bigorre pork (a special French pig with controlled export) cooked in 4 different ways: 1. Confit-grilled (slow cooked) pig's belly, very tender & juicy, my favourite among the four; 2. Pork cheek cooked stewed with red wine, a little sweet; 3. Roasted Pork Loin (lower back part); 4. Spanish lomo ham.
Prunes with vanilla cream & tapioka ice-cream. Prunes were imported, not too sweet, just nice to taste, while waffle was very crispy. Awesome!
