Dinner with my Favourite Pastor

This is a yearly event.  I would meet my favourite Pastor for dinner, to celebrate her birthday.  Since is a big event, I usually would think of some where with good food.  This year, I have decided to bring her to Gordon Grill, highly recommended by Polo.  Fixing the common date was as usual the challenge, as Pastor is very popular, lots of lunch and dinner invitation.  Thank God we fixed one, and not too far from her birthday.

I was the first to arrive at the restaurant at 5 mins to 1900Hr.  Decor looks a bit dated, and smell of some air freshner stuff.  But overall dimly lited, good enough for dates.
We went for the UOB $128++ for 2 menu, and added the wine pairing at $50++, with 2 glasses of wine for each person, so total of 4 glasses.

They start with complimentary bread basket with 3 different kinds of bread.  Warm and soft.

Starter:  Cold Pasta with Caviar!  Very tasty, and the lime gave the sour twist, great way to warm up your taste buds. 

Starter 2:  Pan Fried Foie Gras with Quail.

I was wondering what's the animal that I was eating, til Pastor told me that it was quail.  Well, as usual, I asked the waitress to verify :-)

Soup.  Don't be deceived by this innocent looking soup.  There were lots of goodies in it, such as truffles, abalone, and a yoke!!  We decided to skip the yoke as it was a bit too rich.

The legendary beef cheeks with tenderloin, highly recommended by Polo.  She even told me to call to check if they have it on the menu! haha  But she was not wrong!! The beef cheek was soft and tender, absorbed all the gravy, it melts in yoru mouth.  The beef tenderloin was juicy, and even at medium well, it was still soft.

The sweets:  Hazelnut chocolate waffle biscuit with ice cream.  Taste good, but too sweet for us

Other than the dessert that was too sweet, the rest of the food were simply fantabulous!!! It was a great night catching up with my Pastor.  Really glad that she enjoyed the food and the night as much as I did.  I pray that God's blessings will be upon her, everyday of her life.  Amen.
