Dinner Menu at Sage Restuarant - 16 Mar 06

Gang and i decided to have dinner at this new french restuarant, Sage, at clarke quay. Occasion was to host a colleague who has dropped by Singapore for the weekend. Chef prev from Harbour Grill and Les Amis. It is tucked away at a corner on the 2nd floor at robertson walk. Probably wouldnt have noticed it if not for someone's recommendation. Big and roomy. Open kitchen concept whereby u can watch the chefs cook in front of us. Quite a nice place to host a function.

Here's the summary of the 8 course dinner we have

• Carppacio of yellowfina tuna with oven dried cherry tomato and avocado mousseline, sevruga caviar and lemon dressing
• Pan fried foie gras on carmelized Granny Smith apple with golden raisin puree and and emulsion of grape jus and buerre noisette
• Hot green pea veloute topped with artichoke barigoule and haricot coco blanc on a crab brandade and basil nage
• Smoked quail breast on a mushroom and herb risotto topped with Parmesan tuille and Perigord truffle sauce
• Blood orange and white balsamic sorbet
• Pan fried Wagyu beef tenderloin topped with braised oxtail wrapped in crepinette on crepinette on celeraic puree and foie gras sauce
• Warm camembert pie on slow roasted red beets and a spiced carrot salad
• Cappucino semifreddo topped with a mascarpone and strawberry sauce

Food is in tasting portions. The quail breast and wagyu beef items were smacking good. It went very well with the bergundies.
