Non-watch Post: Review of a fine meal at The Rabbit Stash

i don't believe i've posted much about food through the years but i do love food :) it's all subjective and taste varies individual to individual but i think i have a fairly decent sense of it all and have had fairly good exposures of bad to great food all over. another reason for posting this as well is the chef owner of the rabbit stash is a secondary school mate of mine and other than his culinary abilities he is notable for something else and that is following his dreams and passions. not many of us will leave comfy, decent income earning jobs and do what we love and for those that do, kudos to them and a huge bravo. so to the review then.

Nestled under Singapore's first successful sellout shoebox apartments, the rabbit stash serves 'Asian-inspired modern European cuisine'... In raphmeister words, 'thems good eating' ;) so a short blow by blow review then...[notes pics aren't the best quality as they were all shot in low light environment with an iphone5]

smoked trout, potato salad, wasabi with garden pea veloute - pea soup isn't my fave kind of soup but overall it was fresh and light with the trout and salad

Salmon tartare ~ shrimp floss, ginger sorbet, granny smith apple espuma - nice creamy taste iirc and overall not too rich with its serving size

Pan seared foie gras, braised apricot, jamon iberico, apple gelee, pickeld cucumber - THIS WAS EXCELLENT FOIE GRAS! :) i love kazu's foie gras and iirc ember's one was pretty good too, but rabbit stash's one is very well done and had me almost asking for another if not for it's sinfulness

Crispy Pork Belly ~ zucchini, pineapple mousseline, red cabbage - siew yok or crispy roast pork, this one was real nice and tender pork belly meat with it's crispy skin

Tenderloin Steak, risotto of sweet potato, cashew oil, asparagus, grape fruit - I love a good steak and boy was this good! i need to ask for a double portion of this guy the next time. the medium rare was a bit more done than i expected but was still wonderful as it was a very tender tenderloin :)

pre-dessert amuse bouche ~ light sorbet with dried raspberries - nice and light

Valrhona Tiffin ~ hazelnut crocante, raspberry mousse - this was good but what comes next is excellent ;)

the Burnt pavlova with mango coulis - done wonderfully. the shell was thin and not hard. the cream was nice and sweet, a wonderful way to end the meal

  the meal was also great because of the fine company i was with. my secondary school and scout mates were down for this meal and made it all the more memorable

Overall assessment is the food is very well done, the highlights for me being the foie gras, steak and pavlova. some constructive feedback was given to Kelvin on the ambience for the place but other than that... carry on Kelvin! :) Huge congrats on the new location and the new addition to the family.
