Valentine Day Menu at David Brown's Restaurant & Tea Terrace @ Penang Hill, Penang.

Do you have any idea where to dine during Valentine's Day for this year? It's just 5 weeks away from Valentine Day - 14.02.2016 (Sunday). It is also falls on the 7th day of Chinese New Year this year. 

Let me proudly introduce you to David Brown Valentine's Menu of 2016:

VALENTINE DAY MENU

STARTER

ROULEAU DE PRINTEMPS

Cod Fish Paper Roll & Mango Spring Roll

As a starter, I get to try two types on one plate. One with deep fried spring roll skin and one with paper roll. Personally, I love the one that wrap with paper roll. 

SOUP

LOBSTER BISQUE

Lobster Essence & Slipper Lobster Meat

Always love their bread as it always serve it warm with cold butter. 

As for the soup, it has a rich lobster aroma when it was served. For the first sip, I can taste different kind of herbs being added to the soup. Personally, I feel that it's a little bit spicy for those who cannot take spicy food. For me, it tastes alright. In each bowl of soup, it consists of lobster meat and crouton.

1ST MAIN COURSE

CHICKEN ROULADE

Poivrade Sauce & Potato Confit

For the first bite, I feel that it's contain strong spice in the stuffing but the more I try, I fall in love with it. 

(There will be two main dishes for this menu and the first main course is fixed.)

2ND MAIN COURSES

There are 3 options for 2ND main course. You can choose either one out of the following three:

STEAMED CHITEAU COD

Seafood Veloute & Chive Pomme Puree

This will be my first choice out of the 3 options available.The cod fish that I had does not have the strong fishy aroma. The sauces was just the right amount to go with the cod fish. Personally, I love the mashed potatoes with chive. It is nicely done for my liking. This is a nice plate of combination of colour and taste. 

OR

LAMB STEW

Balsamic Portwine & Potato Confit

The lamb stew is also a nice choice to choose. As the lamb was stew till very soft and tender. I think those who loves tender lamb stew will love this dish.

OR

PAN SEARED GRAIN FED TENDERLOIN

Australia Potato crisps & Aujus

DESSERT

ALWAYS SWEET

Chocolate Strawberry Mousse & Sponge

To end the meal, we had chocolate strawberry mousse and sponge cake. It is basically sponge cake in the first, third and last layer. In between, there are the chocolate and strawberry mousse. It is quite a refreshing cake. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and assorted fruits such as strawberry, blueberry, blackberry and cape gooseberry.

This chicken and corn soup is a creamy soup. If you love creamy type of soup, you will definitely love this. You will definitely taste the chunky carrot, chicken dice, onion and carrot inside the soup. The bun is very crunchy at the outer part and soft in the interior.

MAIN COURSE

As for the main course you can choose from either one of the following:

David's Roast Poulet

It is basically the roasted chicken maryland. I believed that this roasted chicken has been marinated with several different spices. Then it was coasted with different type of spices gravy. The gravy itself has a very strong herbs aroma. Actually I prefer to have it without the gravy. 

The side dish for this main course consist of corn, steam vegetables (carrot & cauliflower) and roasted herbs potatoes.

OR

Pan seared grouper

For the fish lover, perhaps you can try this pan seared grouper. The grouper is not too dry at all. It came with the fish roe, steam vegetable (cauliflower, broccoli and carrot), wasabi mayo and potato croquette.

I love the wasabi mayo especially it goes well with the potato croquette.

OR

Herb crusted rack of lamb

The lamb is well coated with different kind of herbs. The plate of lamb that we savored was cooked to medium rare. The side dish to go with this dish is potato fondant, steam vegetable (cauliflower, broccoli and carrot), corn and lamb sauce.

DESSERT

Chocolate Brownie with caffee vergnano 1882 espresso chocolate ice cream

Desserts are irresistible and is the favourite to most people. So am I. With this Christmas menu, you are entitle to savour the chocolate brownie. The brownie is being served warm and came with single scoop of caffee vergnano 1882 espresso chocolate ice cream. Just hope that they can serve double scoop of the ice cream. Yummylicious!

Traditionally, Christmas usually will lead you to turkey. This main course consists of slices of roast turkey breast with purified apple chutney and gravy.

The side dish for this main course consist of toasted herb potato, broccoli and cherry tomatoes.

Salmon lover, you will definitely love this pan seared Norwegian salmon as it was cook to the perfect timing. The salmon is not too dry at all. And the scallop is very juicy. This came with asparagus, fodder radish, chive potato cream, tomato tartar and miso hollandaise sauce.
