[CLOSED] Arossa Wine & Grill

Hurry down to enjoy the special promotion of 10% off for set lunch, 20% off for ala carte menu and all bottled wines! Their set lunch is also quite a good deal with 3 course menu for S$28++ and 4 course for S$38++!

The 6-course Christmas set dinner was a well orchestrated affair with quite a few of my favourite food items showing up in one form or another. Here are the dishes in order of appearance...
Amuse Bouche: Burrata cheese from Bari-Umbria with Sicilian tomato jelly and homemade basil flavour grissini.
Cold appetiser: Spinach panna cotta with Hokkaido hairy crab and sea urchin with 3-flavoured sauce.
Hot appetiser: Pan seared foie gras on daikon in chicken bouillabaisse with chives.
Primo: Ravioli stuffed with winter black truffle and Yukon potato cooked in beef cheek braised sauce topped with rucola.
Secondo: Breaded mandarin-fed sea bream from Ehime served with seasonal pickled vegetables and fennel purée.
Dessert: Apple mille feuille accompanied by honey lemoncello ice cream and peppermint sauce.

After we had eaten our fill, I learned from the manager that unfortunately, the restaurant will be closing at the end of January 2015. That's really sad because I thought the food was pretty good. And the service made dining here very pleasurable thanks to the well-trained, attentive staff. I shall miss the view too. From my table right beside the high ceiling-height glass window overlooking Scotts Road, I could see the twinkling Christmas lights and watch the world go by.

Who can resist desserts after your meal? As you can guess, dessert was my favorite part. To find out more about Arossa with droolworthy pictures, check out the review on my blog.

Burrata sitting on a bed of Sicilian tomato and drenched with pesto; so thick and luscious.

I wanna eat this again! Now! 😩 Arossa is famous for their grilled meats ❤️

Everyone loved this - just the right amount of sweetness, mixed with an alluring coconut milk base, smooth and refreshing. The warm, frothed creamer for the coffee/tea was a nice little touch.
