Mushroom in addition to Duck Salad (Rm 20/ ala-carte)

The Chef started the level amongst Salmon Croquette... crisp ball amongst creamy inner filling, served amongst crunchy Japanese Seaweed amongst a citrus zing. The Salad was non monotonous either, the Set Dinner provides diners amongst Serrano Ham... Castilian Ham that is known for its character of fats versus meat ratio equally good equally its bold smokiness. The juggle betwixt crunchy greens in addition to other elements was well-thought through either. Comparing to the Serrano Ham version, nosotros personally prefer the Mushroom in addition to Duck Salad.... for an earthier in addition to meatier texture. The classic combination of Orange in addition to Duck needs no farther explanation.


[Set Dinner] Trio Mushroom Soup (Rm 18/ ala-carte)


Tomato Soup (Rm 18/ ala-carte)

The Chef cleverly added inwards Lime... amongst a to a greater extent than dimensional acidic touch. Entering the pre-main, the Chef prepared Mini Chicken Roulade- sous-vided Chicken served amongst a Tomato-based sauce. The concoction felt refreshing amongst a hint of Lemongrass; fifty-fifty amend amongst the add-on of Chorizo... for the bouncy seize amongst teeth in addition to smokiness.

We were fortunate to essay 1 of their items on "Book The Chef" menu. The Foie Gras Fruit Compote was delicious... beautifully seared Foie Gras served on a bed of mixed fruits (Dragon fruit, Apples, Grapes in addition to Strawberries), Spinach, deep fried leek in addition to Truffle Mayo. Like almost Foie Gras dish, the compote was acidic inwards nature in addition to would cutting through the greasiness of the obese liver. Beautiful combination in addition to lovely flavors. On the mains, nosotros had both Pan Seared Norwegian Salmon and  Australian Grain Fed Beef Tenderloin; the onetime 1 was prophylactic selection amongst pretty uncomplicated in addition to straight-forward flavors, the latter alternative on the other hand, was beyond amazing. It likely outshined the Salmon, the Tenderloin was melt-in-the-mouth tender. The cherry meat was carefully cooked to the correct doneness amongst spot-on seasoning in addition to a flare-up of delightful meat juice. This is definitely 1 of the best Beef around.


[Set Dinner] Tiramisu (Rm 19/ ala-carte)

Ending the level amongst Chef's dessert of the day- Tiramisu in addition to Creme Brulee... both on rotation basis.

Albeit creamy, nosotros idea the milky flavor did non stand upwardly out.... or was it because the fact that the overwhelmingly delicious Beef flavor was nonetheless lingering on our palate?
