Dinner. Originally decided to access Rosewood thro K11 Musea; arrived outside Bayfare Social. Warmly greeted by AM of Chaat, saying I was probably the 10th person to be up the wrong way. Bluhouse was not accessible through my chosen route. She accompanied me all the way back down to G/f, and pointed to the entrance of K11 Artus (next to Fortnum). Which is where BluHouse is located. Walked past the casual area into the Dining Room. No liquor license yet, so hurry to catch the free BYOB offer.Serv

Server came to explain the menu. Not a big a la carte menu, but set menu was available for ($980 pp). Server suggested we tried the signature lobster salad (appetizer) and suckling pig (main). Not a fan of lobster and just had very yummy suckling pig at Aunty Lily’s the other nite, we decided to go for something else.
Here’s what we had.
Bread basket. Female server came to explain what the bread was and how special the vinegar was; couldn’t hear a word over the loud chatter.
Appetisers:
Raw Japanese tuna spiced with oregano and cress; served with an anchovies emulsion, olives and very sweet tomatoes.
Tartare made with milk-fed veal, served with rocket leaves, artichokes, buffalo ricotta and capers; crackers on the side. Good balance of flavors. Esp loved the artichokes.
Pastas:
Linguine mixed with Californian sea urchin and red prawns. Didn’t like it too much. Clash of flavors; couldn’t taste the sweetness of the prawns; overpowered by strong taste of sea urchin. Pasta not sufficiently al dente.
Ravioli stuffed with veal in onion sauce. Topped with Provolone del Monaco cheese (a semi-hard cooked cheese from Naples) and slices of Tasmanian black truffle. This was nice: good balance of flavors.
Wondered whether to order a main to share, but T-bone steak was too much for 2, usual suspects sea bass, lamb rack and deep fried veal not too interesting.
Decided to go straight to dessert. Originally wanted to try the Neapolitan sponge cake, but was strongly discouraged by server, saying that the rum flavor would be too strong for me. Went for the chocolate tart with hazelnuts with chocolate mousse instead.
To finish:
Puff pastry filled with orange and cheese. Pastry was fresh and crunchy- which meant that pastries there in generally must be good- incentive to come for brunch or breakfast.
Nutty Chocolate.
In summary: Decor reminds me of all the other Rosewood eateries. Quite noisy, probably due to the low ceilings. Not as “grand” as anticipated (they called to remind that no slippers, shorts were allowed for gentlemen). Cannot help comparing with Cannubi (Bombana’s casual eatery in the neighboring K11 Musea). Cannubi wins in most aspects. Excellent service tho.
