Gotta study, so a quick post on food (: and for juicetine to see our brief brush with french cuisine.
Ma cooked emperor herbal chicken last night, had to steam for 2.5 hours.. but it was WORTH IT. Gotta cook it for DM sooon, hahah (: he'll be eating his own kind.
Ended up looking like this sexay thing. It was sooo sooo goood.

Spent Friday night watching how i met your mother, 14 EPISODES, till FIVE AM! really gave me a break (: yknow, i wish Barney Stinson WERE a real person just cuz he'd be so entertaining, though he'd probably be STD ridden by now. He's such a cutie, especially his little crush with robin. Hope they work out (:
Back to real life, we went for our first Winterlicious at
Azure! Just pictures should tell the story. We thought we should dress for the occasion (:
But of course we had to start with the best thing on the menu:
They even had giant mutated olives hidden in there some where.
Appetizers:
Smoked Atlantic Salmon
Smoked Mackerel, Tobiko Caviar
Butternut Squash Purée
LOVED this, what DM and i got. Surprisingly I enjoyed the Mackerel more so than the smoked salmon though eating them both rolled together was second heaven.
Confit Quebec Duck and Fig Salad
Arugula, Green Bean, Clementine, Roasted Almonds
Red Poppy Dressing
Ma and Kor's dish. Have to say, Juicetine's duck confit win lor.
Main Entrees
[DM]
Roasted Pork Loin
White Bean Puree, Roasted Beet and Asparagus
Apple Balsamic Vinaigrette

This was kinda dry.
[ma's]
Seared Rainbow Trout
Fricassee Mussel, Clams and Root Vegetables
Lobster Broth
This was pretty good, but nothing awesome.
EEE-eyr, dunno why can't switch the photos around, we'll skip to ko's dessert first:
French Apple Tart with Cinnamon
And of course the best entree that [ko and i] ordered:
Braised Lamb Shank
Spinach and Red Pepper Papadella, Tomato, Oka Cheese
Twas so so so tender and succulent! Didn't at all taste like wool as someone warned. What does wool taste like anyways? This was table conversation for quite a while. The pasta disturbingly tasted like meepok, probably cuz it was so flat. Anyways! Desserts continue...
[ma and i] got our favourite:
Chocolate Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce
This is way better than mine. I don't know how they get the firmness, though Ma says she prefers mine. Hahah, preferential association theory.
And DM's Churros with Caramel and Chocolate Sauces
Overall, I would say not bad, though pricey for $25. I thought that
La Fourchette in Ho Chi Minh was better though, possibly cuz they refilled the bread promptly (:
Finally a picture that I don't look too pudgy in.
K mug mug mug.
