Ernst in Singapore

Gunther's is a very posh, modern French restaurant in Singapore that my restaurant sleuth of a mother managed to find me some gift certificates to for Christmas. This is not the first time my Mom has done this - pretty impressive for someone who lives 10,000 miles away!

So we finally found time to celebrate our Christmas present in May - blogging is not the only thing these days that I can't find enough time for...

Kia started off with Wagyu Beef Carpaccio. It was quite good with a melt-in-your-mouth beef flavor, but quite a small portion for S$30.


I opted for the Bouillabaisse and was disappointed. It was not the rich seafood stew that I was expecting - tasted more like salty tomato soup with some overcooked pieces of seafood thrown in.


The fantastic main course more than made up for the lukewarm starters. Salt-encrusted sea bass which was presented to us with the fish literally encased in a giant block of salt.

The texture and flavor were fantasic and the sides complemented it quite well while not drawing away from it.



It must be ordered for a minimum of 2 people if anyone stumbles upon this blog post and ever tries to order it.


No special occasion for Kia would be complete without a chocolate lava cake dessert - the quality of the Valrhona chocolate was excellent but too dark for our liking.


If I return to Gunther's it will be for just the seabass entry and I will resist the very hard upsells for angel hair pasta with caviar, sparkling water, and wine...
