With Oenotheque by Wine Universe out of the Palate program, I hereby declare that Arossa Wine & Grill is the best restaurant currently on Palate (so far). As a bonus, it is located at Scotts Square - somewhere with much less human traffic, which was a big relief for me.

| Pan Fried Foie Gras with Caramelised Apple, $30 |
This was pan-fried really well, such that the outsides were very slightly burnt and the insides were still soft and melted in our mouths. The apple was a good accompaniment to neutralise the greasiness of the liver. But the puddle of oil there does add to the guilt.

| Spanish Iberian Pork Loin, $38 |
The pork was supposedly 100% acorn fed. The little pitcher there contains the sauce for the pork loin, and after pouring it I realised that it seemed more like the juices from the pork itself after grilling.
This dish was so good that I felt it was worth it even without the 50% discount. The pork loin was particularly aromatic, and it was grilled to perfection such that the exterior had the smoky taste while the interior was slightly pink and juicy. This was easily the best pork loin I have ever had.
 |
| Truffle Fries, $12 |
Compared to the main course, this was disappointing. The fries were a bit too soggy with oil (the waiter explained that it was due to the truffle oil) but yet the truffle taste wasn't strong at all.
I can already predict several more visits to this restaurant.
