Ordered:

EARL GREY TEA MARTINI ($110 + 10%):
Finlandia Vodka, Cucumber, Lemon Lime, Elderflower, Apple Juice and Earl Grey Tea Foam and Pearls.

FINDS has been doing molecular cocktails for a while now, before other shops such as Mira's Lounge, Shangri-la's Tapas Bar, SOHO 8, etc, started to follow suit. Although 'Traditionalists' always seem to reject anything to do with 分子料理, it is often because there are misunderstandings of their broad definition and what it can comprise of, especially with regards to Food Science... When it comes to Molecular Drinks however, it is true that they often only borrow the Molecular Food's playful techniques and then try to charge you more for it, whether it works or not ! The base drink was ok-good in fact, and using some exotic ingredients to justify its high price tag of $110.

This drink's Earl Grey foam on top didn't even had the Bergamot or Tea aroma... the sodium alginate pearls made with earl grey tea, also lacked the advertised tea flavour, also being too solid rather than popping in the mouth like 'caviar's... I suspect they've been made for too long before serving as it had solidified, as the WHOLEPOINT of doing Molecular Ravioli or Pearls, is so that underneath the 'skin layer', they retain the original flavour inside as liquid. Here it failed to achieve this. Perhaps a Reverse Calcium Chloride/Sodium Alginate method might help, as they don't turn from runny to solid as easily.

FINDS IS BEING RELOCATED PRETTY SOON.
Presentation not that pretty either..
