Under the soup cup is a little hamachi with basil and basil flower, garnished with salmon eggs. Delicious. Nice contrast between the yellow tail and the salmon egg

We managed to grab a spot at the bar on this busy Friday night. I for some odd reason only took a photograph of the amuse bouche. Murata was excellent as always but also very pricey if not doing a set lunch special.

* Best of 2006 * Dish
Read about this dish and the other 25 Best Dishes of 2006 on my blog.
Alain Passard's famous Arpege Egg contains a poached egg yolk topped with chives and a generous dollop of sherry vinegar-whipped cream. The cream topping is drizzled with a touch of maple syrup and garnished with fleur de sel.
Taste: The sherry cream was wonderful against the warm gooey yolk at the heart of this amuse. However, the real treat was the how the maple syrup and fleur de sel played off each other in a delightful and tasty sub-plot.
a sort of amuse bouche from lao sze chuan in chinatown... cabbage and chilli sauce? anyway it was yummy.
Amuses Bouches
Left to Right:
Pork
Covered in horseradish (or was it mustard?) foam on a stick.
Notes: I found this one slightly revolting - it was the texture of the foam. Nasty.
Cucumber
Cucumber gelatin ball with oysters.
Notes: Interesting. For an oyster-hater, this would be pure hell.
Scallop Maki
Scallop wrapped in mushrooms and nori.
Notes: Not bad - the nori was rather strong. Frechon seems to have a fascination with seaweed, which appeared in everything from the bread to the butter served with one of my courses.
Foie Gras
Sandwiching smoked eel.
Notes: The best of the lot. My friend commented that it tasted like bologna. I'm not sure about bologna, but it did taste like smoked deli meat.
