Iggy’s! What a Starter!

I had my first try of proper fine dining few weeks ago….  I was invited for dinner and I chose Iggy’s to be my experience to enjoy exquisite cuisine.  Boy! I was in for a treat!

I wished I had taken the menu with me to describe each dish!  Abit of info on Iggy’s.  I heard its rated No. 60 in the World’s Top Restaurants.  And it’s a big accomplishment for a Singaporean run restaurant.  Chef Dorin is the MAN in the kitchen working his wonders!

There were 2 menus to choose from, a Tasting Menu and another one for vegetarians.  I, of cause, went for the Tasting Menu.  The meal was 8-course, burning my date’s pocket at $175+++ per person!  And we also had a half bottle of wine at $108+++!

I must get hold of the menu!  I know they gave us a green pea soup served in a shooter glass!  We were suppose to down the soup in 1 go!  I was thinking, what’s so fantastic about a green pea soup?  I was really in for a surprise!  The soup was so smooth, gliding down my throat!  The soup was served in 3 temperatures!  The first portion was cold!, the middle level was warm, and the top part was abit hotter and frothy!

All I can remember for now was the wonderful Wagyu beef, Aasparagus, Abalone, Foie Gras and the ‘free-flow’ of truffle oil on the dishes!  Oh Yes!  I have had my first try of shavings of truffle!  Honestly speaking, I didn’t find anything fantastic about this expensive item.  I don’t understand how people can spend thousands to buy truffles.

There was also fresh servings of bread, I did enjoy the olive bread.  I heard that they do not make their own bread, but well, it tastes great!  Who cares?

Anyway, I had  introduced myself to the head waiter and when he knew who I was, I was pleasantly surprised that Chef Dorin came out to speak with me when I was about to leave!

No, I am not anyone famous!  More like my boss is!

Well, it definately was a wonderful experience for me!  I can’t wait to go back there again!

Now where shall I go next?  I think my next target would be St. Julien or St. Pierre!  Would anyone like to take me there?
