               Smoked Salmon and Prawns Salad with Tomato Tart, Lemon Chive Vinaigrette

This is a lavish salad. The smoked salmon is my favorite. The salmon is tender and properly seasoning. Talking about the prawn salad, it is a creative salad. The chef use crispy cookies to folder with tomato, and top with fresh prawns. The taste is fresh and nice.

A rich soup of fresh pumpkin with a dollop of sour cream. What a wonderful soup! I love it so much. The pumpkin soup is dense and filled with pumpkin fragrance. I can feel the natural sweetness from the pumpkin. At the center of the plate, there is the mashed pumpkin. You must try it, it is fantastic yummy!

                                                             Chestnut Mille Feuille
Chestnut Mille Feuille served with orange flavored Christmas pudding and cinnamon ice cream. The last dish is sweet dessert to sweet your heart :D I like the chestnut mille feuille, because it tastes soft with dense chestnut custard. Add some strawberries with chestnut mille feuille is a good combination. You can feel sweet and sour taste at the same time which make the dessert refreshing without greasy feeling.
