There has been a lot of hype about Violet Herbs in Tanjong Pagar.  The Modern European cuisine it features has been known to be some of the best.  It was worth a try to see what people were talking about.

The interior is nice and clean and just a beauty to look at.

We were started off with some Charcoal Bread and an amuse bouche of Salmon Gravlax. The bread was fresh and warm.   Freshly baked, just a nice way to start it out.

The salmon was nicely smoked and a good way to start the meal.

Our appetizer was a Mango Scallop.  Seared Scallops with Mango Salsa and Mango Gel on top of Parsnip Puree with a Sesame Tuile.  The Scallop was cooked perfectly and the mango tastes weren’t too sweet, balanced our nicely.

A palate cleanser of Green Apple Sorbet with Orange Slices.  Cool and refreshing, for sure!

Lamb Rack on a bed of Spinach and Cous Cous with a Pistachio Foie Gras Roulade and Rosemary Lamb Jus.  The lamb cooked perfectly, the jus gave it a nice pleasant zing.  Just a well rounded dish.

Roasted Chilean Sea Bass on a bed of Mushroom Bacon Ragout and a Yuzu Truffle Butter.  The Bass was so tender and well cooked, the Truffle Butter was not too strong in taste and the Mushroom Bacon Ragout was not too oily either.  A great balanced dish.

Dessert was a Frozen Nougat with fruits and a Lychee Sorbet.  A nice way to end the meal.There are many options here, and the service was great without being overbearing.  Each dish was described by the servers in detail and a great place to have a quiet meal, especially with a loved one.
