I had lunch with my husband at Aspasia last week and we enjoyed it very much. First, the staff to guest ratio was very high, almost one waiter serving one table. Service was friendly and helpful. Upon the waitress' recommendation, I ordered an Aspasia special house drink which was made with Yakult and mango juice - refreshing on a hot day. We were told that last month, the drink was a hot mix as the weather was cold. The bread was freshly baked and bread sticks were served with dips in test
The bread was freshly baked and bread sticks were served with dips in test tubes –very impressive! The dips had 3 flavours: beans (didn’t hear the name clearly), cucumber and red bell pepper.
For starters, I chose cauliflower gateau with lentils and quail. My husband ordered baked red onion with Burrata (cheese) and tuna. Both were nicely presented and tasted delicious.
For main course, I chose roasted lamb rack with mashed potatoes. The portion was just right for me and the lamb very tender and juicy –one of the best I’ve ever eaten. My husband had spaghetti with clams and muscat grapes. The dish was a bit too salty for me but went well with the sweetness of the grapes.
Dessert of the day was tiramisu –very yummy indeed. Thanks to Kevin the assistant manager, I could try Aspasia’s signature Belgian chocolate cake. It’s not as rich as I’ve expected, but I liked the roasted hazelnut embedded inside. Topped with crème brulee gelato and zabaglione sauce, the cake was nicely presented. My cup of cappuccino gave the tasty lunch a hearty finale. I was too full to try the homemade cookies served with our cappuccino and latte.
We also saw Aspasia’s head chef Mr. Roland Schuller walking around and were told that he was always in the restaurant. I’ve read from reviews that he liked to run small-sized restaurants in an attempt to maintain a high standard - good news for us!
The executive lunch menu (3-course) has 3 prices depending on whether one chooses from the pasta or seafood or main course section ($168/188/218 + 10% service charge).
Aspasia did give us a very enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely return to try its sampler menu for dinner later. Heard from my friend that the tomato water was really unique!
