Cuisine Française Moderne
State of Being : Gastronomical Delights!
Thanks to my boss who was in town recently, we were treated to a sumptuous modern French cuisine lunch at Gunther's by one of our vendors yesterday.
Located along Purvis Street, my colleagues and I have probably walked past this french restaurant many times, without the slightest idea that it has actually won many accolades:-
- Singapore Tatler BEST NEW RESTAURANT 2007, BEST SERVICE 2007
- The Sunday Lifestyle BEST FOOD OF 2007 (Fine Dining)
- Wine & Dine Singapore’s Top Restaurants 2008 BEST NEW RESTAURANT
Seated in a private dining area with minimalist deco, our taste buds were titillated by the finest creation made by this 34 year-old Belgium chef. Despite the fact that we only had 5 courses each, including dessert, we could tell that the chef has put alot of effort into the food as the presentation is simply exquisite.
Even though I cannot recall any of the fanciful names of the dishes that were served that day, my personal favourite would have to be the starter dish (pictured above). Served cold somewhat like Japanese cold noodle, the light seasoning coupled with the caviar simply makes this dish a heavenly delight! Be sure to check out the place if you are into modern French dining.
p.s. we even had the honour of meeting the young Belgium chef in person!
