pretty looking crispy scallop tart
I've been together with so busy amongst my Ramadan Bazaars that I've yet to postal service this up, a review on Nathalie's Gourmet Studio's August bill of fare until I spied someone else's weblog postal service nigh it. So hither goes, exactly earlier nosotros switch over to exactly about other novel bill of fare inwards September.
tomato crumble amongst caprine animal cheese foam
The best business office of eating inwards a eating seat amongst loads of foodie friends is yous teach to review the whole bill of fare at 1 teach since nosotros all halt upward sharing the diverse dishes. It was a mixed bunch this fourth dimension - friends who had dined earlier inwards Nathalie's for final month's bill of fare together with exactly about who were novel to the whole place.
two salmon tartar amongst greenish lentil salad
We convey all been steadily impressed amongst the appetizers hither thence nosotros went for the amount monty this fourth dimension (everything on the bill of fare except the deconstructed salad nicoise, which looked practiced from the next table).
crab mille feuille
The crispy scallop tart amongst melted onions together with Szechuan pepper sauce (RM29) got the vote for the prettiest appetizer as it came amongst an edible oh-so-lovely (but tasteless) purple pansy. While it looked gorgeous, the sweetness gustation of the melted onions layered on the bottom of the tart together with the creamy sauce didn't assistance to uplift the fragile gustation of the fresh scallops at all but drowned it completely. Moreover, in that location wasn't whatsoever tingling sensation inwards the oral fissure from the Szechuan peppers inwards the sauce to arrive fifty-fifty noticeable. In fact, straight off that I'm staring at Paranoid Android's weblog post, I don't spy whatsoever peppercorn husks, together with so it is a mystery to me whatever happened to the peppers.
Left to right: Half cooked salmon, risotto similar paella, halibut brandade
Instead nosotros flora solace amongst the tomato plant crumble amongst caprine animal cheese cream together with balsamic reduction (RM25). The tart is similar to the 1 I offset tasted at Nathalie's, which came amongst a poached egg but this fourth dimension it is presented differently amongst a crumbly topping amongst toasted pino nuts. The tangy tomato plant flavours meld perfectly amongst the lightly flavoured yet distinct wispy caprine animal cheese cream making the whole ensemble but divine. On the other hand, the two salmon tartar, greenish lentil salad together with orangish dressing (RM27) was a contrast of textures - soft raw salmon diced finely amongst the slightly grittier texture of the greenish lentils. Somehow this didn't work for us though every bit our tongues seemed to exactly prefer the tartar without the lentils. Mille feuilles are a favourite hither together with so nosotros had high expectations for the crab mille feuille amongst Nathalie's pesto sauce (RM27). While the whole ensemble was low-cal tasting amongst the avocado puree, fresh crabmeat, light-as-air layers together with pesto sauce on the side, the flavours didn't blow our tastebuds away compared to final month's amazing tuna mille feuille.
wild mushroom tagliatelle
That 24-hour interval when nosotros dined, nosotros felt that the kitchen was a picayune heavy handed amongst the tabular array salt for most of our top dog courses including the one-half cooked salmon, daikon together with wasabi puree amongst coriander pesto (RM37). Eaten amongst the crush potatoes on the side, the saltier gustation was bearable. The halibut brandade (RM47) was a mix of crush potatoes amongst salted halibut (versus the traditional cod) was served amongst a fresh herb emulsion together with fried garlic chips. Unfortunately nosotros flora the dish agency likewise salty for our palates even though this is 1 of the characteristics of brandade since it is made amongst salted fish.
pan fried beef tenderloin
The saving grace was the wild mushroom fresh tagliatelle (RM32) topped amongst a parmesan together with mushroom emulsion - al dente pasta ribbons mixed amongst the umami flavours from the wild mushrooms together with a foam to lighten the whole experience. The risotto similar a paella (RM57) which came amongst Rex prawns, squids, chicken together with a saffron emulsion was a shade less bright to the pasta dish but nevertheless we did bask the creamy yet-not-stodgy rice grains. Equally practiced was the pan fried beef tenderloin served amongst a glazed rich tasting cerise vino sauce, grilled polenta (shaped like thick fries) and a grilled vegetable skewer (RM59).
raspberry mille feuille
Desserts is ever a pleasance hither together with the present stopper was the raspberry mille feuille (RM22) that looked stunning on a slice of dark slate. Complementing the pastry layered dessert were a gorgeous raspberry espuma served inwards a cute picayune drinking glass jug together with a lychee sorbet. Not the easiest affair to part amongst a few people but nosotros managed to bask every teeny weeny seize amongst teeth of the layers together with spoonfuls of the light-as-air espuma.
upside downward mango tart
A picayune less showy but trumping the raspberry mille feuille inwards the gustation division was the amazing upside downward mango tart (RM19) served amongst a mango together with lime sorbet. The mango together with lime flavours complemented each other perfectly to arrive wonderful yet low-cal tasting halt to the meal. We also tried the pick of small-scale desserts - mini vanilla together with caramel choux, chestnut together with chocolate espuma together with a macaron (RM18).
canelles
We also had the jeopardy to sample the canelles fresh from the oven that came with a thick caramelised crust and a moist yet slightly chewy center. Overall, our favourites are the appetizers together with the desserts together with so I reckon the side past times side time, we'll exactly skip the top dog meals together with focus on those 2 courses.
