Special thanks to Simin for the invite!
At the kind invitation Simin, I headed back to Brasserie Wolf for dinner. Following the last over-commercialised visit, I was looking forward to Brasserie Wolf's signatures.
A choice of dining inside or alfresco.
Say hello to the affable Head Chef Claudio Sandri!
Complimentary basket of sour dough, walnut bread and baguette did not match up as well to the velvety salted butter.
Artichoke heart, smoked salmon mousse poached egg and caviar vinaigrette ($16)
Still not a fan of this..could be the artichoke, or the mousse.
Seared Cod ($35)
Confit leeks, Mushrooms Tortellini, Red Wine Sauce
Cod usually eludes me in a face off between sea and land dinner options and Brasserie Wolf's rendition is making me rethink. Segments of the fish slithered off the chunk so effortlessly, unctuously plumped with juices...yum.
Traditional French Onion Soup ($16)
comte cheese
Served with grilled cheese toast, this has to be one of the more memorable french onion soups attempted.
Juono Tomato Gazpacho ($16)
Tomato sorbet and basil
Cold tomato soup!
The same theatrics of having your soup drizzled over the delicate artwork of sliced cherry tomatoes and tomato sorbet.
Intense flavours for this one, though I am not too sure if I'll ever pick tomato sorbet over yuzu sorbet for dessert anytime soon.
Traditional Bouillabaise Soup ($36)
Croutons, Rouille, Gruyere Cheese
Soup by the side...
Seafood soup this was, simply. Toss in mustard and gruyere cheese for more flavour. I found both complementary with the thick soup but it did not go down too well with the rest.
Boeuf Bourgignon ($29)
Bacon, Mushroom, Baby Onions, Carrots
This was the fruit of a 12 hour cooking expedition, if I may term it. Always intrigues me the flavours that come together after the laborious effort that goes into it. Rich and flavourful, I was glad the beef was melt in the mouth and not mush. Loved the lily bulbs too!
Mash that came with it, fluffy and light...has to be one of the lightest mash around!
Floating Island
Meringue, Salted Caramel Sauce, Vanilla Bean Custard
Unavailable on the menu but I spied it for restaurant week, we were in for a treat! Runny custard piled on top a thick rich salted caramel sauce and topped beautifully with meringue. "Too sweet", the handsome chef quipped but I loved it all the same. Never quite experienced salted caramel so dense and I was scrapping the bottom for more. My favouritest of the lot!
Peach Melba ($13)
White peach, Vanilla icecream, Raspberry sauce
Until now, I always thought this was an old school dessert offered by Shaslik and The Ship. Brasserie Wolf replaced the usual canned peaches with white peach...a luxurious move! Think juicy halves embedded deep in the mass of cream, vanilla bean icecream and raspberry sauce
Coffee and Chocolate Liegeosis ($13)
Valrhona Chocolate Sauce
Coffee and chocolate are two arch rivals fighting for dominance in this one, while the chocoaddict loved it, I am sitting on the fence on this.
Private dining options are available for parties...loved the whole setup and particularly the painting! While we were there, families were celebrating quiet dinners inside while the working crowd was drowning their midweek blues with spirits outside. The chef said with a twinkle of his eye "my favourite spot."
I fell head over heels with the lamp!
Second attempt at Brasserie Wolf...I've concluded it's all about making the right choices to be able to enjoy the dining experience to the fullest.
