A friend brought me here for weekday dinner. It’s my first time to dine in L. Place, and this place is really nice with good variety of restaurants – will definitely put it in my list when we have to explore new dining places. Feeling lazy to decide on what to order, my friend decided to go for the tasting menu ($468/head).

Feeling lazy to decide on what to order, my friend decided to go for the tasting menu ($468/head).
The way that the appetizers were presented was attractive. The restaurant put the name of the dish right next to the dish itself, so at least you know what you’re putting into your mouth. The waiter also repeated those names orally, although it went a bit fast and we just did not catch it.
A bad thing for me as a cheese-hater is that I forgot to tell the kitchen of that fact, and it ended up almost every little dish was a bit cheeeeeeesy. It was okay though. I am still very impressed by the way that these delicate dishes were introduced.
I think this would be the highlight of the night. I am a huge fan of urchin, but to be frank generally I really like it in the raw form better. But this dish still pleased me so well as their homemade pasta was so much cooked al dente, and the texture blended well with the rich sea urchin. I was surprised by the size of this appetizer (kinda). It was actually quite fulfilling. A highly-recommended for everyone who’s trying out this restaurant.
My friend picked this as main. The texture of the chicken was definitely not the one I usually like, but I am not having that expertise to have that described. I could sense the nutty feel it was trying to get us to though.
If you like beef, I am sure this is a better choice when compared to the chicken! I was puzzled by what “Chocolate-fed” in the Chinese translation meant. A waiter (perhaps he is the owner?) told me that those are luxury beef in Australia fed with Cadbury’s each day, and he said we could find that little trace of creaminess because of its high fat-marbling ratio when compared to other steak. The restaurant did not disappoint me. The beef was different from what we usually had, with a very special flavour. Also it was cooked just well. A great short journey here with this dish!
For the gelato as part of the set, I picked chocolate and my friend picked raspberry. I think choice was better after this slightly heavy dinner. Both are good quality though!
Overall, this restaurant has excellent service and food (do note that the place can be a bit noisy when it is full, mostly due to the tiny space it has, and the open kitchen actually made the feeling more over-packed). I recommended other friends to hold lunch gathering here and they also liked it. If you’d like to try their homemade pasta, I am sure the lunch menu is more budgeted and hopefully you’ll be surprised by this quality!
