The Seafood Ice Experience ($28++) arrived in a quirky presentation: a rack of 6 laboratory test tubes filled with all kinds of innovative seafoody goodness. I was told to start from left to right (or right to left, in the case of the pic below)ineapple lemograss ice, Blue fin tuna;Quandong orange ice, Amaebi shrimp;Calamansi ‘mojito’ ice, Sea scallop;Lychee martini ice, Oyster;Watermelon lillipilli ice, Lobster; andApple celery ice, Tasmanian salmon.I like the calamansi + sea scallop combi the
Pineapple lemograss ice, Blue fin tuna;
Quandong orange ice, Amaebi shrimp;
Calamansi ‘mojito’ ice, Sea scallop;
Lychee martini ice, Oyster;
Watermelon lillipilli ice, Lobster; and
Apple celery ice, Tasmanian salmon.
I like the calamansi + sea scallop combi the best cuz that’s so tangy and refreshing, followed closely by the pairing of Quandong (a unique native Australian fruit) + shrimp. Gimmicky, no doubt, but in a good way.
Not unlike the miso cod from Ember and Saint Pierre, the broiled shiromiso Chilean Sea Bass ($36++) was gorgeously tender and smooth. Love the soy bean curd, sesame crusted Ratte potato and edamame beans on the side too!
Almost all the reviews I’ve read raved and raved about the Valrhona Hot Chocolate Soup ($20++), about how it takes superhuman willpower to not gulp the whole bowl down, about how orgasmic it is etc etc. BUT it’s such a disappointment! It’s just high quality molten chocolate, that’s all. I don’t get what the fuss is all about =( The black peppered ice cream and sesame crisp were decently average too.
