Goodbye 2008
On the eve of New Year Day, the company treated us to a meal in Paris. At 7.20pm, we gathered in the hotel lobby prior to proceeding to the restaurant for dinner and dinner was served at 8.15pm. By this time, most of us were feeling super sleepy as it's 3.15am in the morning, time we hit the sack, in Singapore!
We were planning to go Eiffel Tower for countdown & watch fireworks at the same time, after dinner. Unfortunately, the plan was canceled after finding out there's no fireworks to receive the new year. Hence, I headed back to room & dived into my bed quickly, as I had to work in the morning, the next day!
Marble of duck liver with exotic fruit puff pastry
(Marbre de foie gras et son feuillete de fruits exotiques)
The smooth, creamy & salty Foie Gras was served with sliced warm bread (I love warm bread!) and I only managed to finish one piece of it.
Slowly cooked rack of veal with risotto cannelloni/mashed pumpkin & parmesan chip.
(Tracon de veau confit, cannelloni de risotto, puree de citrouille, chips de parmesan)
The veal confit was lean & it tasted like salmon. Yes, the texture it's like fish. Am not a fan of risotto thus I didn't eat it after one mouthful of it. 
Macaroon with passion fruits n red fruits
(Macaron aux fruits de la passion et fruits rouges)
The star of the 3-course meal was definitely the dessert! All of us agreed the macaroon's the best!! And of course, I savored the whole dessert to myself and some of my colleague's chocolate walnut cake! Yummy!
