Gatsby Bar & Restaurant, CHIJMES

Found ourselves back at this restaurant, since the 1-for-1 offer on main courses was just too good to pass up. They had this same offer when I last dined here, which was years ago. Good to know that some things stay the same.

Moonie had the Frutti di Mare, which was quite nice.

The name of my main course escapes me, but it was this dish with different kinds of seafood swimming in a bowl of creamy sauce. Bread was served together- ideal for mopping up every last drop of the yummy sauce. As with all things creamy, beware- diminishing marginal utility can set in pretty quickly, so it may be a good idea to share.

Profiteroles for dessert...

Isn't this pretty?
