Visiting chefs are oftentimes a touching as well as larn situation. Put them inward a dissimilar surroundings away from their comfort zone aka their ain eatery kitchen as well as things appear to larn haywire. Occasionally nosotros larn a rare incidence where the nutrient tastes exceptional no affair what every bit the chef upholds his standards despite existence a grand as well as to a greater extent than miles away from his hometown.
         I must acknowledge I was blown away yesteryear Curtis Duffy's cuisine. He impressed us all with his harmonious season pairing with a touching of molecular gastronomy as well as his beauteous plating that made every creation a masterpiece. Even though he's pretty young, the chef had already chalked upwards a few accolades such every bit working with Grant Achatz at Alinea as well as later on moving on to Avenues, which was awarded ii Michelin stars. Definitely a human to aspect out for inward the time to come for greater things.
         I was lucky to larn a double dosage of Duffy's food, a sampler sense of savor from his cooking shape as well as the total ensemble for dinner which I shared with proficient friends, the elusive Paranoid Android as well as the charming Aly's Wonderland. Dinner started off with a chilled amuse bouche that numbed the natural language a petty since the greenish pellets were frozen. The flavours similar anise hyssop blooms were a petty unfamiliar to us except the umami-laden body of body of water urchin but nosotros all enjoyed it tremendously. Subsequently, nosotros were served the dull poached salmon cooked sous vide, a dish he had also demonstrated for his cooking class. It's paired with the liquorice similar flavours of fennel inward diverse layers - firstly an intense fennel sauce, followed yesteryear fennel fronds as well as the poached fennel slices. On the side were chopped dark olives, a mustard vinaigrette as well as absinthe greenish foam.
        Next it was our large favourite of that night, the scallops served with a white poppy seed milk that was paired with a romaine lettuce marmalade as well as nasturium flavours inward the shape of leaves as well as pretty blooms. It's difficult to clit this dish but the soft sugariness scallops went beautifully with the creamy as well as slightly sugariness hot broth extracted from white poppy seeds as well as the romaine lettuce marmalade. We all wished for to a greater extent than but similar Oliver inward the musical.
        The adjacent dish was a familiar ane for me since I also had it for lunch. A hearty wholesome dish named grains, seeds as well as nuts, this dish warmed our tummies with its poly peptide rich ingredients. It's essentially a barley risotto with a layer of amaranth, quinoa crunch as well as a block of hazelnut stone oil inward a shape of powder. The dish comes with a sunflower seed broth. Finally, nosotros hit our brain class as well as on newspaper you lot won't await kokosnoot flavours to dyad good with wagyu beef ribeye except inward a rendang but this version plant as well as then good specially when it is paired with preserved kumquats as well as yuzu puree to cutting through the rich creamy kokosnoot taste.
        With a blink of the eye, our wonderful dinner was most at the end. To clear our palate inward a fun way, it was fourth dimension for the sudachi liquid ball. Encased inward a sparse white chocolate layer, you lot popular ane inward the oral cavity as well as crunch downwards on the sparse crunch to permit the tangy liquid out. It tin travel a daze to your senses similar Aly's reaction, if you lot don't await the liquid. I reckon this volition travel perfect political party poppers to larn the mood going. Last but non to the lowest degree was the chocolate ganache piped out similar spaghetti strands. The rich chocolate sense of savor is paired with a hazelnut financier, cacao rocks, an intense cassia caramel, huckleberries as well as stevia leaves.
        We were pretty lucky to also encounter upwards Duffy as well as his sous chef, Steven that dark since it was their terminal stint earlier they flew dorsum to America. I also did my civic duty as well as took them over to Bayan Indah to innovate them to Rohani Jelani as well as her wonderful local herb garden. Hopefully there'll travel but about involvement inward incorporating local flavours inward their dishes since Duffy loves Thai as well as Japanese flavours already. Who knows? Maybe the adjacent fourth dimension when you lot dine at Chicago's Avenues or Duffy's shortly to opened upwards restaurant, you lot may respect teh tarik sorbet mingling alongside bold American flavours on your plate.
