Ooh la la.
The dark, sexy hallway that leads to the dining room
Chicken lollipop and ham on meringue
If there weren’t so many couples holding hands and looking lovingly into each other’s eyes, celebrating solemnly some special occasion, I would have squealed and jumped around the place in delight. The chicken skin lollipop is insanely delicious!!! So fatty and so very good! The ham is rich in flavor and not too salty, perfect with the meringue that dissolves in my mouth like magic. And it’s melon flavored, too! Incredible!
The freshest taste of the sea and the cleanest taste of beef. Can’t get any better than this.
King crab, Oscietra caviar, uni
The crab is plump and tasty. I suck on the shell to make sure it’s dry, not wanting to waste one drop of its sweet, sweet essence. The hint of nuttiness in the caviar pairs beautifully with the creamy and buttery uni. And that green thing slowly melting away…
wasabi snow! Oooohhhh!!!
Langoustine, tomato, radish, watermelon, sherry
So where is the sherry? It’s infused into the slice of yellow watermelon! Also, in case you don’t know, that’s dill jelly you see at the bottom. The details are amazing, but sadly, they don’t really do anything for me taste-wise.
This is done chawanmushi style, adorned with chanterelles and blanketed with a delicate cepe sauce. I notice that the foie gras tastes very creamy, to which our server explains it is because they poach the liver in milk before pan frying it. No wonder!
Beautiful, exquisite aftertaste.
Alba white truffles, spaghettini, poultry jus
So simple yet so sublime. I could only wish for more truffle shavings.
The fish is simply grilled to let it’s flavor shine. And shine it does. So bold and so beautiful. The pop rice adds a lot of excitement to the dish.
The heat of the pepper, bitterness of the coffee, mild sweetness of the pumpkin and the very distinct sweetness of the dates blend wonderfully. This course is good but I wouldn’t say it’s great. My favorite thing on the plate is actually the ricotta-filled dates.
Fresh pineapple marinated in vanilla oil, basil granita, and sorry, that white thing is not ice cream. It is… brace yourselves… ginger ale with liquid nitrogen! Very refreshing.
Blueberry, calamansi, cream cheese, salt
Enjoy blueberries in three ways – fresh, meringue, and sorbet. Love the calamansi curd
and cream cheese show. Excellent.
“Can I try all?” I bat my eyelashes flirtatiously at our server
Chocolate truffle, gin and lime (almond-shaped), pistachio cookie, rosemary financier
(with gold leaf), pineapple caramel (golf ball), chocolate marshmallow (cube)
and white chocolate with pink peppercorn (go figure, hehe)
Green Tea
I love how the glass doors open, close, and frost up.
