Au Revoir Café Le Mouton Noir.

Yesterday I had lunch at my favourite café, The Black Sheep Café with three good friends. Like my friends who are flying off within a week’s time, the Black Sheep Café would be seeking greener pastures from September onwards.

It was where theMoose begun and pity the group did not last as long as the café itself. Sad stuff aside, Black Sheep Café would be moving to a bigger venue with more accessible parking lots and Chef Ratha himself has been working very hard on the new menu (but don’t worry! the classics will still be in the menu ;). I can’t wait to try the new dishes when I am back.

After taking our orders, we were being served a basket of bread rolls together with some butter. Warm and fluffy bread always never fail with butter.

For starters we shared a serving of Baked Brie Cheese, a signature of Black Sheep Café’s. This appetiser didn’t disappoint, warmed, creamy Brie Cheese with juicy, sweet fruits.

Yenshan and Liangwei had the tender Black Sheep Shank. Both of them seemed rather pleased with their main course.

Andre and I had the Baked Snapper which was slightly overcooked but flavourwise, it was great, it was a simple and light cream with garlic sauce. The vegetable sides and mash were awesome as usual.

For desserts, I bought a box of Le Chateau Blanc Macaroons and ordered two Hot Pandan Souffle served with Coconut Ice Cream. Personally, I prefer the Passionfruit or Kahlua Souffle, this was too rich for my taste. Liang Wei felt that the combination was like a deconstructed kaya.

The prices for the mains have increased from 22.50 to 24.50 SGD nett. Apparently, the dinners are fully booked for several nights. I wish Chef Ratha all the best for his new restaurant, I will miss this cosy little get together place in Little India where the4MOOSE first met here, then there were farewell meals, studio dinner, first encounter with Ice Wine, my birthday, Christmas and Mu Yao’s ORD meal. Sweet memories.
