Mum's birthdy dinner at Caprice was also her first time back in the restaurant after 20 years, tall about a revisit!We went for the menu connoisseur ($2,480) since it was also my first time visiting, so that we can have a bit of everything. With all the first times and revisits, a birthday celebration seems secondary lmao but don't worry we got her flowers and multiple cakes across multiple days to spread out the birthday cheer. Anyway, back to the meal.We started with an amuse bouche platter, i
We went for the menu connoisseur ($2,480) since it was also my first time visiting, so that we can have a bit of everything. With all the first times and revisits, a birthday celebration seems secondary lmao but don't worry we got her flowers and multiple cakes across multiple days to spread out the birthday cheer. Anyway, back to the meal.
We started with an amuse bouche platter, including a butter chicken mousse piped inside a mini pita bread, and I instantly revised my expectation of the meal because it's more contemporary/fusion-y than I would have thought. Of course the bread basket is a must, I had the flaky brioche and a soft brioche out of the four choices. Next was the wagyu beef tartare with Kristal caviar, it originally came with oyster but I asked if they have something, so they removed it from the mix. Then it's the foie gras terrine with pear in multiple ways, poached with vanilla, mousse and dribbles of sauce.
To be honest I don't remember what the daily wild caught fish was, but the texture was similiar to a monkfish. But the sauce, wow, that saffron sauce (hello favourite spice right here) was so rich and memorable that it probably wiped the name of the fish from my memory. Don't dismiss the tomato cuttlefish bolognse on the side cause that little mound is packed with flavour. It was a filling dish thanks to the sizable amount of fish they gave us, but I still finished the potatos cuz they looked cute.
Before that we had the celeriac soup, with a blob of mushroom concentrate and parmesan foam, sprinkles of hazelnut and shaved truffle. Then the mains. They graciously gave us 2 portions of their signature pigeon dish and 2 vensions between us 4 so we could try more. Frankly, both mains were not my thing. I knowpeople who loved them though, but not us.
I think the petite fours were the best hahaha choux and tarts and chocolates and nuts I LOVE IT and the sesame and earl grey chocolates were so smooth and rich. Cheese was great but i think... I might... Prefer elsewhere.
