[Amuse Bouche] Sambal Lolipop

Honey Baked Pumpkin Salad- province Granola, creamy Green Beans too Tarragon

Charred Octopus- Asian Gazpacho, fresh Apple, caramelized Cauliflower too Coriander

Chef Kevin surprised us amongst an aesthetically pleasing Lolipop-like cracker... amongst Sundried Tomatoes too Sunflower Seeds scattered. It has a sleek spiciness but strangely amongst a suspiciously cheesy-savory flavor. 

The adjacent dish- Honey Baked Pumpkin Salad may audio similar an ordinary Salad but it was inwards fact, unique plenty to select grip of us yesteryear surprise. The Honey Baked Pumpkin carried an indelible sweetness but it was counter-balanced yesteryear the creamy, acidic Yogurt. The texture becomes to a greater extent than interesting amongst Granola; simply nosotros idea things may plough monotonous, the herbaceous bittersweet Tarragon was at that topographic point to cutting through the dimension. 

Equally cracking was the Charred Octopus, served amongst a lake of dark-green Asian Gazpacho too a refreshing mix of Apple, Cauliflower too Coriander. The texture of the Octopus was nigh fascinating, it was resilient but non difficult to the seize amongst teeth piece the charred surface offered an alluring smokiness. The magical mix of Apple too Coriander (perhaps the Gazpacho too) did its wonder equally well, the entire combination was unusual but inwards a adept way. 

Rice Tempura Soft Shell Crab served amongst Garlic Aioli, poached Pineapple too Curry Leaves

BBQ Beef served amongst roasted Onions, Soft Boiled Egg too Crispy Potato Strings

Bali Breakfast- runny Sweet Mango, frozen Passion Fruit, whipped Coconut too Lime Sorbet

It's e'er fun to run into people couplet nutrient amongst fresh fruits. Chef Kevin paired Pineapple amongst Rice Tempura Soft Shell Crab but he did non serve them raw. Poached Pineapple was used, in all probability to ton downward its acidity but the compaction remains there. The Rice Tempura Soft Shell Crab was cracking but it did non genuinely hitting me, inwards fact, the operate of poached Pineapple did. Likewise, the principal course- BBQ Beef served amongst roasted Onions, Soft Boiled Egg too Crispy Potato Strings did non come upward equally a surprise. Though nosotros must applaud the inventiveness of using crispy Potato Strings too Soft Boiled Egg inwards this dish; the flavour combo did non genuinely strike us. We concluded the repast amongst a refreshing serving of Bali Breakfast... beautifully presented inwards the shape of Sunny Side Up... though it was genuinely Mango, Passion Fruit, whipped Coconut too Lime Sorbet.
