Marinated razor clams with shallot confit, citrus fruit salad and sweet corn sauce
The dining experience was great, with impeccable service from the Garibaldi. We both love the antipasta - razor clams which were perfect with the shallot confit, absolutely delicious! Highly recommended.

Pan-roasted duck breast with caramel apple puree and duck liver mousse
Casereccia pasta with seafood ragout, olives, basil and fresh tomato sauce
For mains, the seafood pasta was served with generous portions of seafood, especially the crabmeat! The sauce was made from fresh tomatoes, which stands out from other run-of-the-mile tomato base pastas. Duck breast was slightly chewy (overdone?), but it tasted heavenly with the caramel apple puree. We left a large portion of the duck liver mousse untouched though as it didn’t go well with our palates.
Raspberry semi-freddo, meringue and red fruit sauce
The dessert was raspberry semi freddo (not the cadbury freddo frogs! lol), an Italian dessert that is pretty close to ice cream - half frozen and hence melting at half the speed. Each slice was sweet and creamy yet not overwhelming. With the contrasting crispy meringue bits, it was easy to finish the entire dessert in a second.
***
The bread served at the beginning of the meal was so good that we requested for more at the end of the meal. Gluttony us :p Later on as we were chit-chatting with the manager while sipping on coffee, we found out that the bread was taking a while due to the fact that they had to bake a new loaf of bread specially for us - we were one of the last few diners in the restaurant and nobody’s having bread anymore. Oops. That is one of the reasons why I mentioned that service standard was almost unimpeachable. Another restaurant
