A lovely girlfriend of mine - a fellow yogi who shares my love for vegetarian food - shared Arcane's greenmonday menu with me on a cold winter evening. It was oh-so tempting. We were so excited that we could make it to the last Monday of January before they stop serving it (says so on the menu; I haven't verified it afterwards though).一位同樣愛yoga和素食的好友 一看到Arcane的 greenmonday menu便想起我了 : ) 慶幸能相約在一月的最後一個星期一 一嚐這十分吸引的素食dinner menu!The setting is cosy and chillaxing.

一位同樣愛yoga和素食的好友 一看到Arcane的 greenmonday menu便想起我了 : )
慶幸能相約在一月的最後一個星期一 一嚐這十分吸引的素食dinner menu!
The setting is cosy and chillaxing. If one prefers more privacy, the table arrangement may not be well spaced out enough to accommodate that. Nevertheless, the restaurant has a pretty intimate atmosphere and was perfect for a 3-hour catch up for the two of us!
The sourdough, served fresh and warm, was really good. The crust was crispy enough that it doesn't hurt your lips - so good that I didn't want to stop and wipe my hands for taking a picture of the sourdough.
Here goes our all Vegetarian Fare...!

Fresh, juicy and sweet tomato lightly tossed with olive oil and topped with spiced aubergine, sour cream and soft herbs.
It's nice but as a someone who loves nuts I think this would go well with crushed pistachios too!
食材新鮮，再輕巧的一道菜都可以帶來簡單的滿足感。
個人很喜歡果仁 - 如果蕃茄上加d開心果碎 應該都會幾好味 : P

The "Wasabi-na" isn't as "spicy" as its name suggests - it balances well with the English mustard mayo and sherry vinegar, and brightens up the already refreshing beets.
上網查一查先知 "Wasabi-na" 係何方神聖 : P 帶Wasabi淡淡的幽香，唔會搶味，同English mustard mayo + sherry vinegar配合平衡，令本身已很清新的紅菜頭更開胃!

Japanese Taiyouran eggs are pretty much unbeatable... (I guess? : P)
So good that I actually found this melt-in-your-mouth poached egg, as opposed to the black truffles, the highlight of this dish!
用上日本的Taiyouran雞蛋... 吃一口 心裡有一種想叫 「媽咪...點解雞蛋可以咁好食~」的幸福感。
入口即溶 濃濃的 純粹蛋黃香
好味到 我覺得black truffle唔係呢度菜嘅重點。

Perhaps it could have been roasted for a shorter time, or chopped into slightly bigger chunks?
The toasted macadamia and aromatic Argan oil made up for it though.
略嫌椰菜花有一點點烤過頭了，有一點乾。
不過夏威夷果仁和Argan oil很香，味道上加返分。

The pinenut cream was done just right - not overly creamy, and not overloaded with parmesan - such that I can actually taste that the gnocchi was freshly made from potato.
Delicately chewy, and aromatically elevated by the black truffles.
原來 gnocchi 可以咁好味。
Pinenut cream調得剛剛好 - 不太creamy, 不太膩，parmesan只是輕輕的點綴 - 所以 gnocchi 的薯仔味得以被帶出。
口感彈牙，不像我記憶中的 gnocchi 通常是不及其他pasta類型細緻。這次改變了我的觀感。
當然，black truffles 亦將這道簡單的美味昇華。

Am only deducting one "star" from the description of this picture because I wish it came in a bigger portion.
The cheese was good, and the lavoche was lightly cheesy and nicely toasted. I probably couldn't stop eating them had I been given more cheese to go with it!
欣喜見到 Cheese course 同 Dessert都有，等我選擇困難症唔洗發作 : P
好-味~ 略嫌細份咗少少。
塊toasted lavoche有輕輕嘅芝士味，亦都好脆！

I'm not sure if this yoghurt ice cream is completely dairy free like frozen yoghurt, but it was silkily creamy.
Yuzu, lemon and madarin is a dream combination for someone like me - who prefers a refreshing touch of sweetness at the end, as opposed to a heavy sleeping pill which sends you right into a food coma.
An apt ending to a light and refreshing Vegetarian fare!

一頓細緻的素食晚晚餐 以一個清新的甜品作結
真的最適合不過~ : )
自從fro-yo不及以前盛行，我已經一段時間沒吃過fro-yo了。
唔太肯定呢個yoghurt ice cream係咪全素，不過真係好清新地creamy和幼滑！
<Petit four of the evening - Canele>
I haven't had lots of caneles in my life but this is the best I've ever had.Heavenly caramelised and heart-meltingly chewy... on point.
最後 最後
香甜的Canele... 烤得剛剛好
