2 Days Till Christmas | Le Petit Escargot ヽ( ★ω★)ノ

Only two days left until Christmas and I’ve been super busy at work as it is the last few days for families to come in to take their photo with Santa. Yesterday there was a crisis at work but fortunately our amazing supervisor on set that day managed to fix everything! I also got my first Santa photo taken with my family and then headed off to dinner after work at The Little Snail. 

We had dinner with my aunty and uncle as it was almost one of my cousin’s birthday (tomorrow!) and apparently it was also the Winter Solstice Festival (Dong Zhi). It’s almost as important as celebrating Chinese New Year’s so dinner with the whole family is a must; in this case my aunty, uncle and two beautiful cousins were there with us too.

So I’m just going to show the picture of the food we had that night, starting off with the entrée’s.

Salmon Roulade- filled with herb cheese mousseline, served with potato nest and passion fruit dressing.

Escargot de Bourgogne- dozen snails marinated in herb-infused bouillon, oven baked in garlic butter

Paté Maison- Armagnac flavored duck liver pate with marinated champignons, date chutney and port vinaigrette.

Bouillabaisse de Marseille- traditional French seafood soup of mussel, fish fillet and prawns, cooked in seafood broth, served with garlic baguette

Moving onto the mains:

Fillet of Beef Tenderloin- served with potato millefeuille and red wine jus

Loin of lamb- with witted baby spinach, maple glazed pommes boulangere and thyme jus

Magret de Canard- crispy skin duck breast fillet with wok tossed spinach served with cassis and raspberry sauce

Seafood plate- of grilled salmon, garlic prawn, salt and pepper squid, chilli mussel, beer battered soft shell crab and mesclun salad

 

As for the dessert we ordered:  

Handmade Profiteroles- with crème patisserie and mint chocolate sauce

Warm Sticky Date Pudding- with butterscotch and French vanilla icecream

Chef Churned Hazelnut and Praline Ice Cream- on sable Breton and grand mamier caramel

Belgium Chocolate Gateau- with pineapple and coconut candy

It was a really lovely night to spend with my family and cousins before the Christmas craze kicks in. We all had a lovely relaxing night and tomorrow is Christmas Eve!!!! It is also my last day at working and seeing as today wasn’t that busy at all I have a feeling tomorrow will be super quiet! I hope you guys all had a wonderful day and now it’s time for me to get some food in my belly. Looking forward to the festive season is over as it will mean my trips with friends is that much closer and I can finally fix my unusual sleeping and eating patterns.
