We read about good review and came here to try out the chef's degustation menu. It may sound like an Indian or Korean Restaurant but this place actually serves up modern Asian Fusion Cuisine. The concept is very unique as the chef incorporates modern gastro-alchemy techniques into the cooking. Sounds like a science experiment? Under the 5 course chef tasting menu, there are 2 appetizers 2 main course 1 dessert. Highly recommend this for 2 persons as it will leave you full and satisfied as it is
Under the 5 course chef tasting menu, there are 2 appetizers 2 main course 1 dessert. Highly recommend this for 2 persons as it will leave you full and satisfied as it is very value for $$. The scallops were very fresh and served 2 ways on a plate.
Complementary Starters from the Chef : Slow roasted pork belly, pumpkin, frisse( the veggies), pumpkin seeds and yuzu gastriqueThe gastrique word sounds like gastric acid but actually the taste is totally different. The fatty pork belly is so tender and the pumpkin is naturally grilled on the outside, moist and sweet on the inside.
Pan Grilled Scallop with Mango miso purée and trout roe / Raw Scallops with caviar. This was the best scallop we have ever eaten and interesting fusion
2nd appetizer: Marinated Angel Hair Pasta, Avruga, Seaweed, Fresh Crab Leg QQ pasta that was rightly seasoned with fresh ingredients
1st Main Course: Cayenne Seared Lobster, Butter Corn Pudding, Yuzu, Green Chilli, Onions
2nd Main Course:Braised Beef with Mashed Potato, sweet and crispy chips.Everything else was good except for the beef which might lack some sauce or flavours.
Service was slow but it was understandable since there is only a chef in charge. Behinds the long waiting time and the rather bland beef dish, all the other food, especially the main courses and the appetizers, were truly shining. No wonder this place has consistently received good reviews since it had opened in 2011. Set away from the noisy downtown, this is a hidden gem with great ambience and remarkable food.
