I was quite confused when I got there, since the restaurant is located on the second floor. There are two ways to enter this restaurant, easy one: going up from the bar “Tipping Point” or complicated one: going up from the building next to Tipping Point. I have tried the complicated way, that’s why I highly suggest you to just go up from Tipping Point. It is rather quiet on a Saturday night, perhaps not much people have aware of this new restaurant. Well I kinds of like and enjoy this quiet envi
There aren’t much choices, all the dishes are printed on the first page. My boyfriend and I started with the soup, Caramelized Cauliflower Soup. I am surprise there are some rare soup choices rather than just the normal mushroom cream soup, borsch, etc. You can’t really taste the sweet caramel flavor, nevertheless the light and herbal flavor is appealing. They have blended the cauliflower into smaller pieces and added some chopped hazelnut, therefore the soup carries two kinds of crunchiness.
Not long after the soup, first main course - Risotto ai fungi, Porcini has arrived the table. It smells pretty cheesy and I can’t wait to try it! The risotto is cooked perfectly, slightly chewy and not hard. I am sure they have poured lots of cheese in this risotto, since the cheese flavor is even stronger than the porcini. It tastes really good, yet it is heavy to finish it as well.
The second main course is US Prime Angus Ribeye, which is recommended by the server. I am a bit worry as they didn’t ask us “How would you like your steak to be cooked?” , this sort of reflect whether this is a good place for steak or not. Compare to the soup and risotto, the steak is disappointing. It is close to well-done, thus the texture is rough and chewy. The steak is sided with mashed potato and some grilled zucchini, the sides are not bad.
And of course, end the meal with the meal with the Peppermint Chocolate Fondant. Cut the fondant gently, then the dark chocolate will slip out. The rich chocolate flavour is not sweetness overload and I love it! Besides than the fondant, there are some gingerbread cookies on the side. The gingerbread stack is coated with cinnamon powder and the taste is quite festively.
