STARTER
- Veal Tonnato (7/10)
- Burrata, Grilled Green Asparagus (7.5/10)
The standout starters highlighted seasonal flavors. Slices of tender veal mingled elegantly in the Veal Tonnato, paired with creamy tuna aioli enriched by capers. Alongside, plump burrata oozed a rich, creamy center when paired with charred asparagus spears, their once-woodsy flavor intensified beautifully. Topped with scattered toasted hazelnuts, it offered welcomed textural contrast.
MAIN
- Pan-Seared Scottish Halibut (7.5/10)
An absolutely stellar seafood centerpiece. Delicate crust of pistachios provided pleasant crunch against the dense, flaky white fish. Paired alongside was bright beetroots and artichokes barigoule that offered welcome acidity and earthy flavors. Both the protein and vegetable components take the spotlight through simple yet expert preparation.
- Broiled Buttermilk-Marinated Spatchcock (7.5/10)
An extraordinary main that expertly blended bold and mild flavors. The tangy buttermilk marinade complemented the natural juiciness of the chicken. Cooking it spatchcock style resulted in ultra moist meat throughout. Meanwhile, using anchovy oil added a savory note to elevate every bite. Expertly broiled, its skin crackled with delicious saltiness.
DESSERTS
- Japanese Peach (8.5/10)
The playful dessert was a visual delight. In the guise of a peach, we cut open to reveal layers of surprises -creamy white chocolate mascarpone nestled peach pieces in the core. Beside it, a bracing strawberry chilli essence cut through the rich fat with vibrant acidity. More than just a sweet finale, it left an impression as a true work of food art that lingered long after the last bite.
- Japanese Cheesecake (7.5/10)
Delighted with light, balanced flavors. Where typical cheesecakes can be dense, this version was ethereally creamy yet tenderly crumbled with the gentlest touch.
