Graduation Dinner & Earth Hour at Le Soufflé

My mom, grandpa, and I went to Le Soufflé, The Fort after my graduation last night. It was unfortunate that their Top of the Citi branch was closed. I wanted to go there because they claim that it has a great view of Makati City.

We arrived at the restaurant in time for Earth Hour and I was pleased to find out that they supported this campaign. The place, lit with candles all around, looked very inviting. We were seated after a couple of minutes of waiting even though we didn’t have a reservation.

I don’t remember exactly what I had because I decided to order the set menu for the day after having a really hard time browsing through the menu with a votive candle in hand. The 4-course meal started with an endive salad, followed by a cream soup, then sea bass for the main course, and a banana and mango crepe for dessert. I let my mom have the dessert because I wanted to get a soufflé. The food was good, but not spectacular. Mom ordered a lamb shank and Papa had strip loin. I think they both enjoyed their choices.

A few seconds after serving my dark and white chocolate soufflé, they served me with a slice of cake as congratulations. I ended my graduation dinner with a glass of Taittinger Brut Champagne, which, upon seeing its price on the receipt, made my heart skip a beat. :-/

I would go back to Le Soufflé for the excellent service and to give it another shot to delight me with its food. I won’t order so hastily when I go back.
