Last time I was here was a while ago, an exorbitant bday treat from my lovely people. Most unforgettable was the crispy sea cucumber and the hefty price tag. So when I was invited to the Ceretto Barolo Wine Dinner for $1,580 pp (including wine) I leapt up to say yes. Here’s what we had. -Appetizers: prawn with lotus and pine nuts jellyfish with Black vinegar and Ginger.-Chilled 黃魚 in fermented bean sauce -Crispy Iberico Pig Trotter-very crispy exterior with tender meat -Double-boiled French Pige
So when I was invited to the Ceretto Barolo Wine Dinner for $1,580 pp (including wine) I leapt up to say yes.
Here’s what we had.
-Appetizers:
prawn with lotus and pine nuts
jellyfish with Black vinegar and Ginger.
-Chilled 黃魚 in fermented bean sauce
-Crispy Iberico Pig Trotter-very crispy exterior with tender meat
-Double-boiled French Pigeon with Tangerine Peel- very hearty and comforting.
-Sliced Beef Wok-fried with Thai Basil
-Shantou Kale Wok-fried with Shallots
-Sea Cucumber Braised with Preserved Radish served with Jasmine Rice
-Pistachio Mousse and 桃膠
-Crispy Water Chestnut Fritters
In summary: service was professional (definitely not as bad as depicted in the other reviews); sommelier was knowledgeable. Menu was concise and carefully curated. Granted, portions probably wouldn’t be enough for the Big Appetites; ingredients weren’t the most luxurious but demonstrated culinary mastery. All in all- excellent value for money.
