The restaurant managed to keep its price reasonable amidst the inflationary economy. I had the $598 four course menu composing of all the signature dishes.
The frog leg with garlic cream and parsley sauce is still mouth watering. The meat is tender and the garlic cream is tantalising but not overwhelming. A classic dish indeed.
The steam salmon with claim bouillon and coconut sauce was a creative dish. It was surprising to find Asian influence here. But the sweetness of the coconut blends really well with the clam juice , making the salmon extra tasty.
Finally comes the signature roast pigeon with port wine sauce. This dish has since been copied in many places but Mirror still turn out the best. The skin is crispy and the meat is flavorful.
The dessert was Panna cotta with fresh mango. Its not sweet and helps to end the meal in perfect pitch.
I hope Mirror will reopen elsewhere soon. It is hard to find small restaurants where the owner chef still is passionate and provide value despite the high cost.
