French fine dining @ Lemon Grass, PJ

I believe the name of the restaurant is Lemon Grass. It is actually part of the Taylor's School of Hospitality and Tourism. The students run the place and get practical training.

They were hosting the dinner at the end of the National Rounds of the LawAsia Moot Competition 2008. We were tired exhausted and just wanted to be fed and go home and sleep. Yeah, we were sore losers! Lol!

The table set-up. Looks good-eh?

We started off with some finger food. Nothing to shout about and the baguette base wasn't nice - 'lau foong' edi!

We had some not impressive mock-tails to quench our thirst too. I went for fruit juice after this and even that wasn't very nice.

Here's our menu for the night:-

Appetizer - Paprika oil seared scallops on yellow watermelon with coriander pesto, alfalfa sprouts and coconut lime foam.

I was ambivalent about this. Scallops were nice. It however din go too well with the watermelon.

This was followed by pumpkin soup (for details, refer to the menu above). No one around me liked the soup at all!

The main course - cod fillet on a bed of mash potatoes

I thought the fish was a bit... fishy (in cantonese, 'sang') but the rest din think so. Still, it was nice and fresh.

The best part tho was the mash potatoes. Lovely!

And finally, the desert! Mango and Passion fruit mousse cake, chocolate macaroon and citrus crème brûlée (burnt cream!).

The mousse cake was too sour for the guys and too sweet for the girls!!!

The remaining two were winners to all of us! Yup, end off on a high note. Only small complaint wiil be that they were too small!!! A good complaint, dun u think?
