SOUP

***********************

Double Boiled Wild Mushroom Chicken Consommé

Nicely wrapped fresh prawn dumpling together with minced mushroom as well as fish paste for a lovely combination of sweet bouillon.

***********************

SALAD

***********************

Age Nasu

Eggplant Agebitashi or loosely translated as Japanese eggplant that is first deep-fried until crispy browned, before soaked in a flavorful dashi and soy sauce based broth. No wonder it remained juicy and actually got me confused earlier wondering what is this soft bite is.

MAINS

***********************

Latte Coffee Lamb Shank

Slow cooked lamb shank with latte coffee sauce

Yeah, you read it right, with coffee sauce! But fret not, the coffee taste is not overly strong and comes greeting your taste bud with a subtle touch.

The meat was lovely as it is tenderly braised till soft and most importantly without that intimidating gamey taste, kudos! Coupled with the flavourful caffeined gravy, every bites of the fork-off meat is certainly a pleasure!

***********************

RICE

***********************

Sun Dried Duck Fried Rice

As humble as it may seem, I must say that this is one of the main highlight of the feast.

The fragrant fried rice was nicely cooked with imported waxed meat of duck breast, diced mushroom and barbecue chicken. Each grain of rice was fluffily light and pleasant to the taste bud, non-sticky nor too salty in flavor. One particular ingredient that enhances the overall enjoyment was the addition of the sun-dried duck breast meat; which adds on a different layer of texture and turns out surprisingly well!

Despite the fact that this dish is lard-free, it somehow able to garner the essential Oriental taste closely. Indeed a case of simplicity at its best, under the seasoned hands of Chef Jerry.

DESSERT

Crispy Nian Gao with Golden Pumpkin Sauce

Soft chewy brown sugar glutinous rice enveloped within a crispy coast on the outside, yum!

It’s pretty addictive though, hehe.
