Dinner @ Equinox complex

It's really a pleasure to have dinner with my family at Equinox complex. A little intro on this place:

Singapore's “highest” culinary landmark with world-class cuisine and spectacular views of Singapore, the award-winning Equinox Restaurant enchants with the most scrumptious authentic International offerings.

Seated in the elegant amphitheatre-style restaurant, be awed by three-storey high teak and rice paper lanterns, Ming-inspired wooden trellises and a luminous wall of mother of pearl. 
 I would really say, this is somewhat my first time doing fine dining.

This is how the restaurant look like:


One bad point about the restaurant is that the lighting at night is really terrible. I had to strain my eyes the whole time because the lighting was way too warm. I think its because we're sitting by the windows, so they expected more "natural" light. That aside, the food was great.

First off, we were greeted with some bread and baguette which taste really good with the butter, olive oil and sour cream placed in front of us for us to choose. Then, they surprised us with some canapé which included salmon skin with raw salmon and salmon roe on top, some cheesy-baby-food-like "soup" and smoked eel. All taste really good but my personal favourite got to be the salmon(cause I love salmon, duh).





After around 15mins or so, the appetizers came and we ordered some seabass, Foie Gras de Canard and some mussels in cheese(i think) with salmon roe.




As you can see, the lighting really is darn bad. x.x But the food is great! :D

After another 15mins or so, the main course is served. Didn't take any pictures of the main course, cause the lighting was really cmi + they look too delicious:X haha. But anyway, we ordered Suckling Pig ‘55C’ Celeriac and Mustard, Smoked Full-blooded Black Angus Tenderloin “Pan-fried Bone Marrow” and Shimeji Mushrooms, Spiced Pigeon, Foie Gras and Peanuts, and some smoked pork(I cant find the name online! x.x). I tried all of them, and I prefer the black angus (which is my main course:D). The pigeon tasted really weird, but I guess it's because we don't know how to appreciate it ):

After which, the desserts were served. We ordered Salted Caramel with “Walnut Snow” and Elderflower and caramelized apple with lemon sorbet. The lemon sorbet is really good. Haha.

Just when we thought that all was served, they surprised us with another dish. Some assorted sweets which taste really great and made the meal seems whole:D



Apologies for lousy pictures. x.x

So, a few night shots:D






Good night! (:
