Located at one of the most beautiful venues, Gaddi's has always been a favourite dining venue for traditional French cuisine. Upon entering the restaurant, one will be welcomed by a stunningly beautiful setting with warm hospitality. Each table is well spaced, giving privacy and a classy, elegant ambience. A beautiful setting, classicShortly after ordering, we are given a choice of bread with fresh butter and amuse bouche. The bread is warm with a crunchy surface, amuse bouche is light and refreshing with a foam and creamy texture, giving a perfect start of the meal. Amuse bouche and sour dough bread For appetiter, we had French smoked eel with duck foie gras. The smoked eel has a very unique taste, it is seared just perfect, with a firm texture and a strong but subtle flavour. The foie gras is in small cube sizes, making it a perfect small bite. The Celeriac and Corsica Clementine brings a refreshing, sweet taste, perfectly matching with the stronger flavours of the smoked eel and duck foie gras. Anguille Fumée française, Céleri-Rave, Clementine Corse, Foie Gras de Canard For main, we had the Basque Country Pork Belly, with chicory, Comice pear and blue cheese. The combination of the ingredients are just fascinating. The pork belly is cooked to perfection, retaining its juiciness inside, and the crisp outside. The Comice pear brings a sweet and light flavour, and the blue cheese elevated the dish with a naturally aromatic flavour. Poitrine de Porc Noir Basque, Endive, Poire Comice, Bleu d' Auvergne For dessert, we picked two different ones to share. The presentations of both are 'wow'!  The crisp white meringue layer is sweet, complemented by light lemon cream, citrus coulis and a unique Basil sorbet. A very classic French dessert with a light twist.  Pavlova, Creme de Citron, Coulin d'Agrume, Sorbet au Basilic, Meringue Italienne Our second dessert is like a painting. An absolute favourite for chocolate lovers. The dark chocolate mousse is bittersweet, simply love it!  Having matcha ice cream at the side is also an interesting combination, very flavourful. Le Croustillant, Mousse Chocolat 70%, Sucre Petillant, Glace au The Vert Overall, it is an amazing dining experience. From the ambience to the food, it totally lives up the expectation. Will definitely visit again soon. …Read More

Located on the 26th floor, the open kitchen offers a relaxing and cosy environment for diners to enjoy their meal. It also provides a lovely outlook of the skyline of Central.  A fixed degustation menu is offered, with ingredients varying depending on the seasonal ingredients and Chef Vicky Cheng's innovation and inspiration.  Highlights of the food: Tuna, Sea urchin, Espelette, RiceThe first course is a signature dish by Liberty Private Works. Beautifully arranged, the tuna tartare and crispy rice is topped with generous portion of creamy sea urchin in the middle, and frozen grape and sweet longon on the sides. The combination is simply perfect. The spiciness of the tuna tartare is greatly balanced with the sweet and fresh sea urchin. The crispy rice also brings an additional texture and flavour. A very refreshing dish indeed. Asparagus, Morel, Snow fungusThe second course  is a light yet flavorful dish. The white asparagus, a seasonal ingredient, is simmered and lightly seasonsed to retain its taste. Compared with the green asparagus, it is slightly milder and more tender. The morel has a slightly more woodsy taste and the snow fungus, which has a lighter taste, blends perfectly with it. Quite a unique dish. Kinmedai, Tomato, KiwiThis dish has a Japanese element in it. The Kinmedai, seared on the side, is undeniably fresh and tender. The cherry tomatoes and radish are marinated and the kiwi sauce brings a sweet anad sour taste that stimulates the taste bud. Egg, Truffle, Parmesan, CaviarAnother signature dish of LPW. This is in fact my favorite dish. The ravioli is wrapped with a runny egg, parmesan, truffle, and generously topped with caviar. The caviar pops on the tongue, with a rich and slightly sweet taste that oozes in the mouth. The whole dish is aromatic and flavorful, with the parmesan being milky and tasteful, and the truffle giving an earthy fragrance and unique flavour to the dish. Impressive indeed. Chicken, Bamboo shoots, Fiddle headsThis is evitably a dish that requires great effort and time. The layers of chicken is nestled together, with the sauce being cooked with chicken bone and sake. The chicken meat is smooth and tender, with the exterior layer being pan-fried perfectly to give a crunchy texture. The sauce is great as it is not too heavy in taste and brings out the original flavour of the chicken.  Lamb, Wheat berry, Black garlicLast savoury dish. This dish is great because of its simpleness. Cooked perfectly medium rare with a soft pink flesh, it retains the juiciness and tenderness. Served alongside is a vegetable puree, with wheat berry and black garlic. The black garlic removes the gaminess of the lamb, and the puree brings a more refreshing and mildness to the dish. Strawberry, Black pepper, Fennel Pollen The first dessert- Strawberry, Black pepper, Fennel Pollen simply looks tempting and appetising. The strawberry is stuffed with marshmallow, and the mochi with condensed milk is soft and chewy. A cute combination. The fennel pollen is also a little 'secret ingredient' that highlighted the dessert as the taste is incredibly unique, and brings a strong aromatic flavor that complemented with the other ingredients in the dessert.Miso, Honey, EdamameThe last course of the day is miso ice cream with honey and edamame. The miso ice cream tastes mild, with a slight saltiness in it. The edamame has a natural freshness and sweetness which matches the miso ice cream. The honey also brings an extra flavor and sweetness to the dish. Indeed, each dish at LPW is unique and inspirational. The ingredients are fresh and seasonal and does not require strong seasoning. The ingredients also match perfectly, complementing each other both in taste and in presentation. It is also a completely different dining experience, being able to enjoy the food while watching the passionate and whole-hearted chef and his team cooking. Simply an enjoyable and impressive meal!  :) …Read More

Generous serving of the sauteed vegetable also brings a freshness to the dish. A very balanced and healthy dish indeed. Grilled steak with mashed potato Ordered the grilled steak medium-rare. The meat is thinly cut and grilled perfectly. It is warm through the middle with a hint of red. The steak is tender and juicy, with a very meaty gravy that complemented the steak. The grilled tomatoes are also juicy and appetising, bringing a freshness to the dish. The mashed potato is blended with warmed butter and milk to create a rich and creamy texture. A great and filling side dish that goes well with the main. Overall, it was a really satisfying meal. The ambience is great and the quality of the food is above standard.

Bricklane is a lovely place for brunch. The restaurant is cosy with great ambience.  Arrived at 11am, and was not too packed. Ordered the Smoked salmon bagel and Classic egg benedict. Both dishes are nicely presented, with fresh salad at the side. Smoked salmon bagel- Scottish salmon/ Cream cheese/ Plain bagelThe scottish salmon is succulent fresh and delicately flavoured. And the cream cheese complemented the bagel well. However, the bagel is slightly dry as the moisture of the bread is not sealed in after heating. The fries is fried till golden and extremely hot and crispy. Classic Egg benedict- Gammon ham/ 2 poached eggs/ English muffin, Hollandaise sauceRecommend the Classic Egg Benedict. Topped with beautifully poached eggs and tender ham, the muffin is nicely toasted and drizzled with generous serving of the magical hollandaise sauce. Buttery and creamy, the hollandaise sauce is simply a highlight of the dish. Impressive. Would recommend this place for a delightful brunch at the weekend! …Read More
