I read another blogger's post on their visit to Perle Noire and I got inspired to post some pictures myself. These food shots were taken in April 2011 when I had a celebration dinner hosted by my colleague who just got promoted. Thanks Zhi Li for the lovely meal!
First off, the fantastically well done Seared Scallops. Wonderful taste and cooked to perfection. The outside is nicely seared and crisp while the inside is tender and just cooked. Served on a bed of arugula lettuce and some bacon, the simple flavours of the scallop is enhanced by the aromatic bacon. I'll give this 5-stars if I were a critic! Note: I went there in Juky 2011 and this item is no longer on the menu.

The Perle Noire Juicy Burger is another of my favourites. There's a reason why it really deserves such an uninspiring name like juicy burger - that's because the thing I like about this burger is its juiciness. It's not so juicy that it will be dripping with blood but its just right. The burger is really huge and tasty. I always eat the ingredients separately rather than to squeeze everything together and take a bite.

The prosciutto wrapped cod fish was a nice touch to the high cholesterol dinner that the rest of us were having. The balance of the flavours was good. It also helps that I love mushrooms, fish and arugula lettuce. =)

I was a little disappointed with the foie gras. Not sure if it was because we divided that portion by about 10, so there wasn't really much to taste. I got mostly the "un-seared" parts and I didn't like it. I'm sure it would be nicer if it was more thoroughly cooked.

The Yorkshire Pork Rack was surprisingly good. I've tried this a few times and it never failed. Although its pork, the meat is tender and juicy. Coupled with the sauce and mashed sweet potato, this combination is almost perfect.
I ordered the Duck breast. It came with some sauce.. I think it was cranberry or something. Nice but not as good as my usual favourites - the juicy burger or the pork rack.

One of my colleagues ordered the King prawns with scallop. Looks good eh? Too bad I didn't get to try it.

Time for dessert. The apple crumble was really good. The crumble was big and chunky. I'm salivating as I'm typing this.. Hahaha

As you can see, Perle Noire cleverly plays with its choice of flavours and creates great food marriages. I'll highly recommend this for a nice dinner out with friends. The prices are reasonable great for the quality of food too!
