It was the 2nd time I’ve being invited to have lunch at Gaddi’s within 2 months. I am not sure why the old generation always like to have lunch at there.The first time when I went there was ordered a set lunch. I didn’t like it as because it was just like a very ‘common’ set lunch,. No surprise at all and I believed I can use the same amount and have a lot of alternatives. ($500 per person). Indeed very disappointed.When it came to 2nd time, one of my Uncle invited me there again and treated
The first time when I went there was ordered a set lunch. I didn’t like it as because it was just like a very ‘common’ set lunch,. No surprise at all and I believed I can use the same amount and have a lot of alternatives. ($500 per person). Indeed very disappointed.
When it came to 2nd time, one of my Uncle invited me there again and treated me a Chef Menu. What a big surprise! Everything seems so different compared to last dining. Let me bring you through the menu.
(1) 1st dish: Forgot the name... It was ‘free’ by the Chef. Taste was superb......
(2) Appertizer: Marinated goose liver confit with candied pear and walnuts – A marvellous and delicious dish. I never taste this great great goose liver before. The Chef made the sauce like an ice cream. You had to cut a small slice goose liver and dip into the sauce and ate. The taste was very balance!
(3) Main Dish: Roasted saddle of milk fed pyrennean mountain lamb with wild mushrooms – If you are not a lamb fans, you must try as because the taste is like beef, very tendor and no the lamb taste. I thought I was eating a beef instead of lamb. What a fantastic dish!!! I highly recommend you to order this dish when you dine at Gaddi’s
(4) Dessert: Lightly whipped mascarpone mousse with Coffee, butter caramel ice cream – the best dessert I’ve ever had within this year. The chemistry of caramel and coffee mixed together and became a very rich ice cream. You may think it was too sweet, right? The answer is NO!. Very balance on sugar level and not so sweet indeed! It is highly recommend to order one portion to your girlfriend and make her smile : )
Service: As usual, Gaddi’s provided an excellent service on everything, that’s why they have the right to charge so expensive dining!
Wine and Whisky: My Uncle brought a 1976 L’Enfant Jesus to celebrate my birthday.... excellent wine... Don’t jealous me, ok?
For the whisky, we’ve tried the Brooker’s bourbon whisky. I’ve never heard the name of this whisky and I’ve zipped a little bit... A strong aroma but very balance on the taste. Gaddi's do not list this whisky but you can ask the waiter to get it from other outlets of The Peninsula.
Conclusion: If you are the first time going to Gaddi’s and have the first dating with your companion, don’t order the set lunch as because your partner will feel very disappointed and give her a negative impression (on the restaurant and you). Try to order some signature dishes or Chef Menu, you will definitely bring her a surprise. However, if you don’t want to spend too much money per dining, I recommend to order the dessert (that I recommend) to her and I believe you can receive a warm smile from her! Please remember to make a reservation orelse you may not get a table at night time.
Enjoy the fine dining at Gaddi's!
