I thought IndoChine was a very good choice because we could avoid sore-throat-inducing food stuff. We had Scallops of the Southern Sea (Starter), Sauteed Abalone, Seafood of Supreme Harmony and 2 servings of Jasmine Rice (actually white rice) each.
Each scallop is skewered with a single stalk of lemongrass and sprinkled with chilli pineapple bits so you could get that appetising sweet and sour taste. Hold one end of the stalk between your fingers and then gently slide the scallop off the other end. Let the scallop rest on your tongue and slowly feel the aroma fill the entire cavity before you lose control, chew it into a tasty white mash, finally swallowing it in one gulp!
The Sauteed Abalone is sliced and fried with oyster sauce, baby cabbages. It's not very much of an eye candy, no special effort on the presentation but what's otherwise considered interesting too were the cute bird and deer carrot slices.
And the last dish is Seafood of the Supreme Harmony which was baked garoupa skin stuffed with minced prawn and garoupa meat of course, accompained with two prawns and stir fried watercress.
A very helpful waiter also told us there is another outlet at Waterfront (ACM) with even better ambience.
After the hearty dinner, we went down the first floor to have some drinks. We ordered the Singapore Sling, Chocolate Martini and White Russian. It happened to be the ladies night so we had another free Chocolate Martini which L ordered.
