Love Oishi: The Black Sheep Cafe

The Black Sheep Cafe will be closed on the 2nd week of Sep 2012 due to the chef (owner) being assigned head chef elsewhere at a prestigious new venue.

Located along Mayo Street in Little India, I'm glad to find a hidden gem which caters inexpensive French food by an Indian chef, at a unique and cozy ambience restaurant. Be sure to make reservation as the seating are limited. I noticed there are many paintings and decorations and mostly involves sheep. Well of course, looking at the name of this restaurant, obviously it should be that way haha.

Mushroom soup - I quite enjoy the lightness yet savoury taste of it instead of the usual thick type I used to drink elsewhere. However the portion is very small.

The bread which is hot from oven, goes very well with the butter.

Pan-seared Foie gras (Starter) - The size of it is relatively smaller than the normal portion elsewhere but the taste is good and has the melt in your mouth texture.

Escargots - the meat is already removed from the shell for ease of consumption. I'm not so into escargot so I find it normal or rather the sauce that comes with it could be better.

Baked Brie Cheese (Starter) - Made from unpasteurized cow's milk, unique texture which my friend thought it was actually fish with creamy taste haha.

Duck Confit served with Tangy mango relish - I always feel duck meat are tough but this dish was totally different. The skin was crispy and the meat inside is tender and delicious.

Crispy Pork Cheeks - This is one of the best for its tender texture which is accompanied with a little sweet and sour orange glaze enhancing the overall.

Tenderloin Beef Steak - Quality beef texture with the right tenderness as I set my teeth on it.

Tiramisu - Look how pretty this is! Very light and smooth just that it could be better if the coffee flavor could be stronger.

Chocolate Fondant - This is simply great with the melt in your mouth texture and combination of warm chocolate ice cream which really lighten up your spirit right after a satisfying main course.
