Decided to give the set lunch menu a miss when we were there and went for some of their signature dishes. The bread was served in a flat "hot plate" similar to those that is used to place pizzas into the stone ovens. We could choose 2 flavours for the bread and went with the olive and macadamia. Apart from the usual butter and olive oil, there was a tube of in-house dipping for the bread. It had a tomato base and some other ingredient which I could not exactly make out, but went very well wi
Also tried their signature what I call the "test-tube seafood platter", which was advised to be consumed in a certain order from light to heavy tasting so that our taste buds could savour the combination of the starter as a whole. I must say the taste for each "test-tube" was very well thought and each seafood (be it salmon, scallops, or oyster) combined with each different ice-blended fruit mix to perfection. At the end of the sampler, the strongest taste one (the oyster) would let you sit back and savour the taste of the entire dish. Kudos to the chef.
For the main course, we ordered the chicken breast and the grilled fish. As expected, the chicken breast was perfectly done, and when consumed with the accompanied sauce and veg, introduced an entirely new flavour that was very well planned. Even my hubby who doesnt take breast meat praised it. The grilled sol was also perfectly done, and the pumpkin complimented and brought the fish taste to a whole new level. Simply marvellous.
Dessert, a must try is the ice cream (with pepper) and the molten chocolate 'cake', with the hot molten chocolate mixed with the cold pepper ice cream in your mouth, another taste 'explosion' that cannot be described well with words. Lastly, the pana cotta, although not as outstanding as the ice cream and chocolate, was also nicely done, presented elegantly in a cocktail glass with the strawberry sauce revealed with each scoop. Will definitely go back to try their other dishes, and looking forward to it.
