Braise - Annual Foodie Gathering

Instead of a foodblogger dinner, this year, it was a rather impromptu gathering of foodies, bloggers and non, at Braise, a lovely and modern restaurant located at Palawan Beach on Sentosa Island. That was my first meal there and I loved the glass house look that allowed natural light into the restaurant. Besides, I also had the luxury of enjoying a seaview over lunch so that made my meal extra nice.

A soft and warm bread roll with butter was a good start before my cold pasta of capellini with seared hokkaido scallop distracted me for a moment.

A long wait for the main course saw me eating more bread to stave off the hunger. I enjoyed the tasmanian trout that was served half-raw so it was moist and juicy. The zucchini fritter was a suprise to me because instead of cheese that I was expecting, it was stuffed with cooked salmon.

Dessert was a lovely crispy tart of pear and vanilla ice-cream. I enjoyed a similar version with at sister restaurant Ember.

The food was good but nothing too exciting. The company was great though. Nothing beats having a bunch of like-minded foodies who believes in not settling for anything less than the best. Of course, the added bonus was that in the room full of discerning tastebuds, I was nowhere near "picky". : )

Thanks to all the new friends and old, you made my afternoon a really great one.
