This is reminiscent of a good waffle i.e. cripsy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. Made savoury with a good xo sauce. Dim sum, and food in generally here is a bit on the pricier side but still considered matching for the quality.
Not a novel but still an ingenious idea to have a crispy crusty fried roll with juicy prawns wrapped in a silky smooth rice sheet. So many textures in one bite!
Refreshing end to the meal, with a beautiful yuzu peppercorn consommé that was the only alcohol we had that night. Loved the attention they put in to every fish. Probably a contender for one of the best meals this year amidst the madness of all our CB/HA/phase1-1000.
The dining buddy commented "Never have i seen a date so plump" to which I responded "I know you only go on dates with skinny ones". Jokes aside, that was indeed one plump date, which apparently cost $2 each according to the waiter. I don't know about you but I've never seen such an interesting random pairing of desserts that were just slapped together but somehow found beauty in their chaos.
Nice but otherwise simple mullet fish with what I believe was fish scales scorched in super hot oil.. that strangely resemble the texture of fingernails. The provencal bisque absolutely blew me away with the intensity of flavours.
Bincho-tan charred snow aged wagyu beef sirloin. Never tasted bincho-tan that was so infused into a piece of meat in my life. Smokey and melts in your mouth. Gorgeous! With a single fry. Yes, not fries, fry. But that effort to decorate the fry!
Moroccan slow cooked lamb shoulder threw a curveball at this juncture. Such interesting flavours that lent a surprise to the otherwise rather Italian-centric meal. That lamb consommé was completely clear as you can (or cant) see but surprisingly flavourful.
Have never tried atas tomatoes so wouldnt know what to expect of colourful organic tomatoes. Firm and juicy though weren't as sweet as some cherry tomatoes I've had. Those little round things were seaweed and amalfi lemon flavoured ice spheres, which I had to quickly mop up to enjoy in solid form.
Sicilian red prawns with ricotta di percora blanc-manger, amalfi lemon and sicilian pistachio. Wonderful start although I could really only taste some amazing briney prawns and a smooth mash like concoction.
Didn't know such huge cockles exist. Just look at them compared to the 50 cent coin. Apart from shiokness of munching into a huge cockle, actually prefer the smaller ones from local hawkers which has a more briney flavour.
A fairly big but flat slice salmon with an equally big layer of mentaiko sauce that blanketed the entire salmon. Comes with an oozy egg as every Japanese don should. Tasty for a quick and affordable meal.
Added a beef patty for an extra $4, which was average. Broiche was soft and fluffy. Egg was well flavoured but a little too creamy which left me stuffed before finishing the burger. For the patty, let's just say you'd be better getting your burger fix somewhere else.
