A revisit was quite hot on the heels of the first
because the menu looks so good! A walk in only got us counter seats
which proved quite uncomfortable. This place is sizzling hot with a full
restaurant after 8pm.
Specials.
Lamb Shank ($24)
This was a weekly special and quite a rara was
created for replacement of ingredients. We wanted to have the couscous
replaced with more greens but was met with a firm “no”. I suppose our
faces must have been black enough to warrant a replacement
of crunchy greens – I suppose this hiccup was well worth it with a
taste cut of lamb laced with a mild gameyness.
Basil Braised Mussels with Fries and Mayonnaise ($25)
This smelt quite incredible with the herbs. Mussels
fresh, fries were a letdown with the greasy finish. Rather pedestrian
actually.
The rara of slitting the souffle and drizzling what looked like milk.
Chocolate and Pistachio Souffle, Cream Anglaise ($15)
I set my eye on this during the last visit and the
minimum 20 minute wait was imposed. Light as a feather and almost like
foam, this soufflé had strong hints of chocolate more than pistachio.
The cream anglaise was drizzled from a test
flask, very novel but it hardly had any taste.
White chocolate mousse with Raspberry Headache (14)
Four petal shaped raspberry powdered chocolate
mousse that tasted more like ricotta cheese instead of white chocolate.
Raspberry headache had to refer to the raspberries and raspberry powder
at best. One huge disappointment.
First up, the service was stinky the moment we sat
down. No photography of the menu but it was found online because it was
‘copyrighted’. Then the minor run in with the waitress. Blotchy service
with better food though, brunch is still
hollering.
