Kuvo is located at the second floor of Orchard Shopping Centre, taking over the space formerly occupied by Lei Garden Restaurant. The dining in area is quite huge, with one end the Elixir Bar for its cocktails and the other end the Vine Lounge for its huge collection of wines. Tonite I am invited by a magazine for a 3 course dinner. As it is a weekday night, the place is relatively empty and quiet. Firstly we are served a choice of warm, still or sparkling water. I have sparkling which is Badoit
sauteed forest mushroom accented with truffle oil
The soup is rich and smells quite nice of the truffle oil, although I would prefer more of the sliced mushrooms. Char-grilled beef ribeye
shallot confit, truffle mash and port wine jus
I like that the meat is served with soft caramlised shallot on top. The steak itself is quite fatty, but still taste not bad. The mash has a nice taste of the truffle oil. Herbs-cashew crusted barramundi fillet
Duo potatoes gratin, tomato confit, saffron beurre blanc
The fish is chunky and meaty, while the potatoes gratin has a interesting sweet taste as it is made of sweet potato.Chocolate Guinness Cake with Caramel
Served with vanilla ice cream
I am a bit disppointed when it turns out not a lava cake. The cake crumbles easily and is quite soft. The sour cubes of fruits quite balance the sweetness of the dessert.
Overall the food is not bad. Service is quite good with water refilled often. We are also served a choice of red or white wine for our mains. The white is quite smooth down the throat. Great place for a sit down dinner with its cozy lighting and nice food.
