My friend treated me to a meal at Camille, the restaurant he kept telling me about.
If you are coming by public transport, take the Sentosa Express tram from VivoCity and get down at Imbiah station. Walk along the elevated floorboards and you will see a small staircase leading up to the bungalow that houses Wildseed and Camille.
Wildseed Cafe is on the ground floor with alfresco garden tables while Camille is on the second floor.
Camille is a dreamy restaurant with cream-white walls and petal-shaped lights. It is the perfect place if you are looking to impress a date or pamper your partner.
We ordered the 4-Course Tasting Menu at S$85++ per person.
Camille Bread Service
I am absolutely in love with the bread. The kombu parker rolls are still warm to the touch and come with two types of butter, which are equally delicious.
First Course
Heirloom Tomatoes is a great-tasting light cold appetizer where tomatoes are paired with goat cheese croquettes, shiso sorbet and hojicha tomato consommé.
Second Course
I never quite understood how to eat artichokes but Textures of Artichoke makes it easy. You get pieces of artichokes and sunshine done in different ways together with bacon, burnt leek dashi and dill oil.
Main Course
The White Miso Glazed Black Cod is so fresh that the meat literally falls apart at the touch of my fork. The accompanying asparagus, ikura, bandade croquette, shasho ko, sakura ebi oil and shiso oil not only beautifies the place, it add textures and flavors.
For the meat-lovers, you will definitely enjoy ‘Robbins Island’ Full Blood Wagyu Flat Iron MBS 7 (120gm). The meat has just the right amount of pinkness in the middle for the medium-rare doneness I asked for. The accompanying yuzu kosho gives a nice citrusy saltiness but be warned not to use too much.
Dessert
I’ve never had a Deconstructed ‘Black Forest’ and it was very entertaining to watch. The staff put a huge rectangular black glass panel on the table and proceeds to scoop chocolate mousse, edible chocolate soil, red cherry sorbet. He then decorates the dessert with frozen chocolate clouds, cherry granola, glazed cherries, red cherry coulis and mushroom meringue. It looks aesthetically-pleasing and tastes delicious too.
