This time for dinner, there was a short line, but luckily we were only waiting for a few tables.
Scallop ceviche was a most refreshing starter. Velvety raw scallops dressed in a tart yuzu dressing, with crunchy slices of cucumber. Oh so good.
Their paella was a decent enough portion for two, full of chewy squid and crispy pieces of chorizo. When you dig deeper, you will find squid ink sauce on the bottom, slowly turning the paella into a murky colour. This wasn't bad, but the flavour became monotonous after a while. At least the rice was cooked through.
I liked the presentation of the beef tartare, all portioned up for ease of spooning up. Egg yolk puree was interesting, a little thick, but tasty and the chunks of raw beef were nicely springy. I recommend trying this.
The bone marrow was one of my favourite dishes last time, so I wanted a repeat performance. It was tasty, but not as good as when I had it the first time =.= Maybe because it arrived a little cold this time.
Seared scallop with roasted onion, pine nuts, and crispy chorizo. It was only half a scallop each, but it was immensely flavourful.
The chicken and sweetcorn doesn't sound interesting on the menu, but trust me it was pretty amazing. Really tender chicken with the most addictive fried kernels of corn. Next time, I am having this all to myself
To end on something sweet~The goats cheese ice-cream sounded interesting, and it was pretty sharp in flavour. The honey comb pieces were slightly frozen in nitrogen so they were extra crunchy, but the hard museli crumble pieces had a refrigerator taste to it. A bit of a miss.
I didn't like the basil ice-cream dessert. The whole dish was just a little too strange on the tastebuds. Sweet, herby ice-cream, with citrus foam, strawberries and what I think were blobs of cream cheese. Not so good.
It was a pity that the truffle toasties were sold out, but that means another visit is on the agenda~ and hopefully the menu would have some new items too. The savoury courses are really good, but I would skip dessert.
