H: Equinox

Had my birthday dinner with Fion at Equinox, Swissotel The Stamford. Standing high at 70 storeys, the night view of the buildings and skyscrapers is fabulous.

We were greeted by the high ceiling and magnificent interior design when we stepped into the restuarant.

The only word to describe my feeling is only WOW!

Had Pan-Seared Foie Gras with White Sesame Seeds (Banana Merah Salsa, Grilled Brioche Toast ) as our appetizer.

It was my first time having Foie Gras and all i had to say is another WOW. I really like it. SLURPS.

Both of us ordered their signature dishes as our main course and had Mocktails, Governor's Smile & Shirley Temple. S$15 each.

Fion had Grilled Beef Tenderloin and Braised Cheek (Potato Mousseline, Fricassee of Mushroom, Rosemary Sauce) S$46

Beef were tender and not tough, had no difficulty chewing down the beef.

And i had Pan-Fried Tiger Prawn and Scallop (Parsnip Puree, Sauteed leek, Crab Essence-Butter Sauce) S$45

The Prawn and Scallop were BIG and JUICY.

Both of us really enjoyed the food, its no wonder it is their signature dishes.

Lastly we had Sweet Temptation (Praline Chocolate Passion Mousse, Poached Rhubarb with Passion Fruit Sorbet, Dark Chocolate Gelee with Mint Foam, Ivory Raspberry Cream) as our dessert. S$32

I totally like the layout of the dessert and it taste like heaven!

Total bill added up to $201, including GST and service charges. No doubt about it, it was all worth while.

The dinner was the best i had ever had. Great Ambience, Great Food, Great View, Great Companion. :)

Left the restuarant and headed to the toilet. This was the headache part, had difficulty locating the exit and the toilet. It was a long journey to reach the toilet! Haha.

Just outside the toilet, there were 4 glass showcases of all liquors, it was really nice.

I only took 2 of it, cause there was this chinese guy behind me, i paiseh la so never finish taking all 4 of them. HAHA. Later he think i SUA GU (mountain tortoise).

The toilet is very posh and long, divided into 3 parts, the front, middle and the end.

The front part is the dressing room.

The middle part is the washing of hands. The water running out of the tap is warm! No more cold icy water for your jade hand, works especially well for me that evening as my hands were all freezing cold, very soothing.
