Oh, no!
That’s not what I meant at all about oh no….That looks fabulous.I know. My temp probe was set for 128° but double checking with my instant read, it read 136°. Slightly overdone. Oh well. Still good!
You deserved a night out.Dining in has been resumed from 21 June, but limited to a pair of diners, and safe distance between tables. So last night to the old favourite Bar A Thym. It was quite strange, pretty quiet maybe 25% capacity. They were still putting out deliveries but it appears people are still not going out. The street that the restaurant is in has a number of other bars and restaurants, all of which were comparatively quiet, and the taxi driver we hailed off the street at about 8.45pm told us we were only his second fare of his shift that had started at 6pm. Strange times.
But the food was as usual excellent, and the staff were great. Duck rillettes to start, Tournedos Rossini for me, and a giant prawn with angel hair pasta and fish roe sauce for the men-sahib, and I had my usual Baba au Rum, a doughnut in a pint of Diplomatico rum. Plus a couple of Negronis, and a very decent bottle of Montagne St Emilion.

We are having just a small problem with uploads on pictures right now administrations working on it.We went out Friday night to the Marina Bay Sands "Shoppes" which is an odd way to say "mall", and to DB Bistro. We go quite frequently and the staff know us quite well by now. No reservation but they had space - they told us lunchtimes were fairly busy but dinner service was still quiet.
Obviously the tables were well spaced and we are still only allowed to dine in pairs. The table in front of ours was set for 4 but each place was at a corner so the 2 people on each side were well over a metre apart (if you can visualise that!) The oddest thing was it was a family, mum, dad and 2 smallish kids maybe 12 and the other possibly only 6. I don't have kids and am rubbish at estimating their ages! The younger kid couldn't work out why he could not sit closer to his mother and didn't seem to be enjoying himself, I felt a bit sorry for him, unusual for me as I generally try and ignore the little s*ds...
Anyway, food. They were doing Chateaubriand as a special so we decided to go for it. It came with 2 huge portions of fries, 2 sauces and a side salad.
We ended up taking a couple of chunks home and that was lunch yesterday!
I can't seem to upload a photo, will try again.
