We had to book 2 months ahead for our table, and all this time I was wondering what the wait was all about. Turns out the place is small, fits about 20 people and they only have 1 seating each night. But I think in hindsight, mostly because the food is damn good.The monthly menus are structured and themed. We were so lucky as December's was "Best of 2010", which means we got a taste of all the previous menus.The set course starts with amuse bouche, soup and salad, a plate of carbs, something fro
The monthly menus are structured and themed. We were so lucky as December's was "Best of 2010", which means we got a taste of all the previous menus.The set course starts with amuse bouche, soup and salad, a plate of carbs, something from sea, something from land, a sorbet palate cleanser, dessert and a macaroon inspired by candy bars. Just this structure itself makes me happy as I know I am going to have a very satisfying meal
Amuse Bouche of pork and diakon - amazing taste and an impressive start
Alphabet Tomato soup & Sloppy Joe made with wagyu beef - so yum, I could eat this everyday!
Bacon & Egg Risotto - impressive presentation of the poached egg but I am not a big fan of truffle oil so this was just ok for me
Scallop and Clams in saffron broth and cauliflower custard - huge scallop! and really amazing cauliflower custard
Flank Steak - amazed at how tender the flank steak was, I was expecting a much tougher steak
Green Apple Sorbet with Hoegaarden Beer - genius!
Apple Cake with salted caramel ice cream - OUT OF THIS WORLD, best dessert I have EVER had...so evil...the portions need to be much much bigger!
"Twix" macaroon sandwich - peanut butter ice cream, chocolate ganache and caramel, what a great finish
I was so stuffed by the end but so happy and just couldn't stop thinking about the apple cake and how impressed I was with the menu and unpretentious food. Service was excellent, everyone was really friendly. Chef was highly attentive and presented each course.
(Noted: Openrice map misleading, the restuarant is actually across The Wheel near the escalators.)
