One fine day, Absolute Haven sms me about their weekend brunch. Browsing through the menu on their website , the price of $39++ for that kind of spread ( scallops, foie gras etc) sure looked appealing... Being a typical Singaporean, I must go and try it out!!

So another one fine day, I went, expecting many like us.... Surprisingly, we were the first to reach and the few couples around even after approximately 2 hours. How to survive like that? Hmm..

That was beside the point right, the main thing was the quality of the food! Well, at least it kinda benefited the few customers like us since there was no need to queue or "snatch" food... =p

It looked kinda little huh? But heh, those were only the appetizers, there were main courses and desserts to be ordered separately, which were all inclusive in the price.

Stating from the top, clockwise direction:
Potato salad with mayonnaise & apple
Assorted mushroom salad with Italian flavours
Fuka Hirei ( Sharkfin in japanese vinegar dressing
Assorted cold cuts with green olives??

I dint really try the salad, except for the assorted mushroom. Well, it was served cold, so I dint quite like it...

The cakes were nice, but a pity there wasnt a lot of varieties. In fact, all were different variation of chocolate cakes, except for one. I also like strawberry & mango cakes, you know??

Grilled scallops with garlic confit & basil pesto ( scroll down further for close-up) Assorted Ham

Parma ham with melon

One of my favourite...

Another of my favourite...

Definitely the hot favourite that day! The scallops were BIG lor... I had 4 of it until I was a bit sick of it.. It was nice but again because it was a cold dish, after a while, it just became a bit too much..

Free flow of mushroom soup! Very Nice!

Scrambled egg

It was just egg, what else you want me to say??? Keke

B) Main courses, choose among
- Grilled Beef
- Cod Fillet
- Unagi Eel
- Lamb Rack
- Roasted Chicken Thigh

There wasnt any potato mousse even though the menu said so. I love mashed potato lor, kinda felt "cheated" =( And instead of asparagus, I was served grilled green peppers. Well, I understand that the chef had the rights to adjust the menu but I dun really eat green peppers, so perhaps by informing the customer the change of ingredient would be nice, at least the chef can save on my share of green peppers?

Anyway, I thought I was quite good at cutting the beef, the thickness was quite even mah! Haha.. The beef was okay, but boring lor.. no vegetables, no side dishes...

I quite like the sorbet even though it was sour and the strawberries were not helping much. It was refreshing after eating so much varieties in such a short duration...

This didnt really taste like the typical tiramisu. In fact, it tasted more like a chocolate cake. Kinda disappointed coz I was looking forward for it as a grand finale after the whole course...

I dint seem to comment much huh, even though I took quite a number of pictures. But the food was kinda normal, not bad but also not fantastic. I think I still prefer the ala carte. Ha....
