This time, GT and I checked out The Sage Restaurant, which was alwyas on my "to go" list. Initially we were on waiting list because the restaurant had a tentative booking for a private event. The event was cancelled, and we managed to secure a table. And perhaps because of this, the whole place was empty, we were the only 2 diners, and it felt like we have booked the whole restaurant! It was kind of strange feeling, because all the attention were on us!
Nice table setting:
Their Menu Degustation, but we did not go for that, 6 dishes are way too much!
Wine for the night
Escargot & Prawn Risotto
A risotto with Burgundy escargot and tiger prawn bits flambéed with pastis, parmesan crusted poached egg
and parsley veloute.
The escargot were deshelled, not like what i have imagined it to be. It was juciy, and the crusted poached egg reminded me of Egg Benedict when the yolked oozed out.

Hokkaido Scallop
Seared Hokkaido scallops on potato blinis with chilled capellini salad tossed with crème fraiche, smoked salmon and fresh dill, Avruga caviar. Scallops were succulent and juicy, and the pork belly was crisy.
Main: Beef Cheek
Caramelized 300 days grain fed Black Angus beef cheek topped with horseradish parfait, Layonnaise potatoes with bone marrow and sautéed field mushrooms
This was also not what we have imagined it to be. We have imagined it to be a big piece of beef cheek, did not expected it to be in small pieces. Nevertheless, it was tender & juicy.
Duck Confit
Deboned duck leg confit meat wrapped in cabbage with fricassee of field mushrooms and foie gras, crispy duck skin with potato puree and Pommery mustard jus. Can you see how crispy the skin was? The fats just melt in your mouth, and while you ate it, you can hear the crispness.
Complimentary birthday cake for me (:
At first we have decided o skip dessert and have coffee, so we were pleasantly surprise when they gave us the complimentary cake. The candle happended to be GT's favourite colour, blue & white. The raspberry sorbet was a perfect partner to the rich chocolate cake, and those crispy oats gave the cake the extra texture.
We adjorn to Robertson Quay for another round of drink, before i got home to get ready for the Semi Final between Netherland & Uruguay. It was a great evening, thanks GT :-)
Overall is 8.5/10. Service was friendly, though not exactly knowledgable, especially on the wine list.
