Desert @ Top Speed Thai

C'est la vie

On our way to watch the musical West Side Story, we decided to have dinner at The Little Snail since it was close to the Lyric Theatre. Apparently they're very used to people stopping by for dinner, rushing to make it in time for the show, hence service was quick (fastest 3-course meal everrrr!)

It took quite a long debate whether or not we were game enough to try the ultimate french dish: Escargots. We figured where better to try eating snails then at a restaurant called The Little Snails...right?

one dozen marinated in wine, herbs and stock, oven baked in garlic butter.

They were actually...not bad. I always imagined snails to be really slimy and...dirt tasting. But i guess the best way to describe it was kind of like a cross between an oyster and a mussel. Anyway, our waiter was really nice and patient as he tried to teach us how to eat them lol

Next entree... Terrine of smoked salmon

with lemon aioli and vinaigrette dressed baby rocket and toasted baguette

This was YUM! ...then again, I love anything with salmon in it =)

For mains, I chose Magret de canard, which was described as "Duck breast fillet with cassis and raspberries, served with sweet potato puree and silted baby spinach". This was really good too, but maybe is also because I love duck and I love rasberries. Surprisingly, the combination of the two were really good. A true fusion between sweet and savoury!




And of course, we cant miss out on desert... Classic Crème Caramel. The texture was reaaaalllyyyyy smooth, but somehow the taste of the egg was abit too strong. We also tried their Handmade Profiteroles which were really good.

3-course meal for only $55... C'est la vie!

On another note, I didnt quite like West Side Story as much as I liked Wicked. Disappointing =(
