During the February session, , Lafite collaborated with wine connoisseur Jen Lam in creating the perfect pair of wine and degustation menu for the diners. That evening, Jen Lam was there too, sharing the tips on ways to reveal the spirit and soul of different kinds of wines and foods. So be prepared to indulge in a delightful 3-course French cuisine with wine pairing and more on the semi buffet line on coming month end’s session.

I like the pairing of this first course. It was fruity and citrusy, ended with a hint of very mild sweetness. The combination was refreshing and I’d enjoyed it very much!

Aside from the 3-course dinner, be prepared to feed your tummy with the dishes on the buffet section such as a variety of bread (rolls and flatbread), cold cuts (homemade turkey, chicken and beef), soup, cheese with dried fruits and crackers, desserts (warm crepes Suzette Flambe with Grand Marnier) and more meat on the carving station!

I helped myself with more portion of meat. The Slowed Cooked Australian Beef Short Rib with Red Wine Civet Sauce Parsnip sided with Potato Puree and Sautéed Baby Vegetables really wowed my palate. The short ribs were extremely tender. Too good, just too good!
