A double date with BFF + BF! I'm sooo behind in updating my foodie journey with Minqian :( Missed her ever since she moved outside CDB area, no more impromptu lunches and bitching ... Come back soon k? This time round, we have a B&C theme :) Decided to check out the latest cafe craze in town, Saveur.
Newly opened at a central location, with a cosy environment :)
The place was partially filled when we arrived at 6pm. From what I recalled, they only cater to walk-in customers. Head there before 6pm before it gets crowded later.
Simple menu, with slightly over 20 dishes at pocket friendly prices. You could spend close to SGD$200 to finish all the items in the menu. I was tempted to give that a try, sample all the dishes at one go and case closed.
While waiting for BFF + BF.
Soup of the day, that was served in a cuppuccino cup. First hit of how small the portions are! 4 of us and 8 spoonfuls later, this was cleared off the table.
Angel hair pasta with tiger prawns and lumpfish caviar. 1 bite each, and cleared off the table too.
When in french restaurant, it's a must for me to order foie gras :) Pan fried Foie Gras with lentils and pickled onions. Portions were small, but dish was well-executed.
I've a recent love affair with duck confit, ordering this dish in almost restaurant that I've been to. This came with orange segment and saute shittake.
I love pork belly, and this dish was executed with egg and lentils, adding a nice punch to the otherwise salty dish.
Pan Fried Tenderloin with carrot puree & mushroom ragout and Pan Fried Monkfish with glazed vegetables and shellfish jus as mains. Interesting combi here - I've to admit that these dishes tasted delicious, even with all the greens (which I'm usually not a fan of!)
all lovely dovely :) Haha!
Bumped into Jun in the same place! She's wearing Winmer Maxi in Red from Swirl!
More pics outside the restaurant - MQ trying to accommodate my height, even though I was already in my heels, haha!

Headed to Open Door Policy for round 2!
The place was surprisingly empty when we reached @ 8pm, but was told that it was fully reserved. Only counter seats were available.
Without much choices, we headed for the counter seats - bad for sharing food in a group :(
We were told not to take any pictures of the menu and was bewildered when they told us an online menu is available on their website. Huh? So what's the harm in photography of menu items? BFF's BF ordered lamb shank and requested for a replacement of greens, which was met with a firm "no" from the sulky waitress.
White chocolate mousse with raspberry headache - pretty to look at, that's all.
The only dessert that's worth the 20 min wait - Chocolate & Pistachio Souffle. The texture was extremely fluffy and light - good for sharing though.
With our 2nd love, haha!
My mega 1st love ... for now, heehee :P
Great night out, till the next!
