Synopsis
Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

What better thing to do on our anniversary celebration than to watch an action movie together? :)

It's been a trend lately to gather characters from different superhero movies to be casted in a single movie. It's quite a feat to see the superheroes you all in the same space but then, you'll struggle with who to support when they stood on different sides! :)

Anniversary at Andre

There was always a hype with Andre. We first tried his creations at Jaan back in 2009. Quite impressed, especially with the Snickers dessert.

For our wedding ROM anniversary this year, we decided to give it a try. I had to make reservations about 3 weeks earlier to secure a booking for lunch. There is also a deposit to confirm that reservation. The 5 course set menu is priced at $198++.

Semi-hidden entrance to Andre. Valet parking is available for $8. I would have preferred it to be complimentary, like what Gunther's provided. It's a rather small and cosy place. Probably about 10 tables or so.

Andre

Seafood tamara with gluten bun

I don't even know where to start? Do you even eat the leaves?

Abalone, liver, cripsy kombu, fish n chips

I can only say each portion is delicately small. I probably give a thumbs up to the presentation and the thought that went into each dish.

Dry aged scallop, textures of mushroom and toufu

Oyster tartare, pork broth

I quite like this. The butternut squash is crunchy and goes well with the beef tongue and sauce. Slurped it all up.

Burnt beef tongue salad, ruban of butternut squash.

Baked chicken breast in bread. This made the chicken meat very tender, unlike the normal expectation of breast meat.

Salt baked poulet

Salt baked poulet

Something special for the occasion.

Seems more like a snack ...

Milk skin, buttermilk curd

A music box to go with dessert but it's meaning is lost on me ...

Honey ice-cream on raspberry ice.

Not a very well-done latte art. $10++, not worth.

Petit Fours

With the chef himself. It's really good that he came out to meet the clients. It's always good to see the face behind the fine food.

The private dining room on the 1st floor.

Synopsis
Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War picks up where “Avengers: Age of Ultron” left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

========================================================================

Who to support when the Avengers stand divided? Captain America or Iron man? It's hard to choose, but luckily the fallout was not for long and the villain got his just desserts.
