My boyfriend and I have been talking about writing reviews here for a lot, a lot of times on the various restaurants that we have been, but everytime we just ended up couldnt be bothered to write something. It is until this time, after we had a very delicious NYE dinner at Chez Moi and seeing that other reviews on this restaurant so far have not been great, we feel obliged to write something here to do justice for Chez Moi.I have had a couple of meals at Chez Moi throughout the past years at th
I have had a couple of meals at Chez Moi throughout the past years at the old venue. I have always been impressed by their pan-seared goose liver so I suggested this place for our NYE dinner together with my friend and her boyfriend. I am very happy that all of us are very pleased with the quality of the food that night.
Pan-fried Scottish Scallop with Salmon & Cherry Tomato Tartar
This is good. Refreshing enough as a starter.
Pan-seared Goose Liver & Sliced Caramel Apple with Port Wine Sauce
Goose liver is always my favourite. I must say I have tried better Goose Liver in elsewhere before (Aspasia - X'mas eve dinner), but Chez Moi's one is also one of the best I have tried. It is very well pan-seared, just the top and bottom thin layers are crispy and the middle part is soft. So when you put a bite in your mouth, you got a good mix of crispy texture for chewing and yet it is soft enough to slide down your throat with a rich goose liver taste. And of course goose liver and apple are always good in pair as the apple can dilute the oily taste of the goose liver. Another plus is the size of the goose liver is generous! I originally thought it might be small, as it is just one of the 4 appetizers in the menu. However, it comes out to be just like what you would expect when you order just goose liver as the only appetizer. As a whole, this is a very good dish I must say.
Italian Black Truffle Cappuccino
I like the foam on the top as the soup itself is quite rich. So it's great to drink the soup together with the foam on top. But I must say I cant taste truffle taste... it tastes more like mushroom soup to me though. But given the price, I didnt expect really good truffle, if any, is served.
Homemade Sorbet
I think this should be lemon flavour. It is very refreshing, just what we needed most about the rich goose liver to clean our taste buds and prepare for the mains.
Charcoal Grilled Australian Wagyu Rib Eye Steak with Red Wine Sauce
This is the main course that I and my friend ordered. I am always a big fan of Wagyu Beef - which I believe is the only beef worth eating. I ordered medium rare and it is exactly medium rare. To me, it is not fatty enough... probably because it is just Rib Eye. Maybe it will be more of my taste if it is a wagyu beef T-bone~ But anyway it is very well cooked, portion is right and my friends love the smashed potatoes as side very much.
Charcoal Grilled Spanish Rack of IbericoPork with Golden Chanterelle Sauce
This is what my boyfriend and my friend's boyfriend ordered. I tried some and it is very delicious as pork. It has the right amoung of fat which makes the pork very tender. And the charcoal taste is strong as well. I think it is better done as pork than my wagyu beef as wagyu beef.
Valrhona Hot Chocolate Pudding with Ice-cream
It is one of the best hot chocolate lava cake I have ever tasted. The mixture of cold ice-cream and hot lava is just right. A very satisfying conclusion of the dinner.
Vacheins of Strawberries with Mango Mascarpone Cream
My boyfriend ordered this and I tried. It is very interesting. The cream is hard but turns into chewy after putting it into the mouth. Interesting.
Oh and I should mention that they have no cockage fee and no 10% service charge. Really a good deal considering the quality of food it offers.
