Appetisers

The menu included 7 Appetisers to choose from, but since this course is ‘All You Can Eat’, you are free to order any of the appetisers you’d like to try. It was heartening to see a good balance of both meat based and vegetarian appetisers (as well as mains) to pick from. The Beef carpaccio with shaved parmesan, baby rocket and aged balsamic was a fantastic start to our meal. Simple, yet incredibly flavourful and the largely meltin-your-mouth texture yielded a well executed appetiser. The Tuna tartare with lotus chips and young coconut was equally delightful, comprised a subtle zest and the crunchy textural element was certainly a welcome addition. The Beetroot salad and orange and blue cheese crumble was yet another seemingly unassuming appetiser where the sweetness of the chunky beetroot, acidity of the orange and the piquant blue cheese flavour came together sublimely. Kicking it up a notch however was the Superfood salad with avocado, strawberry, green asparagus, sunflower seeds and quinoa in raspberry vinaigrette, a very summer-y appetiser that was thoroughly enjoyable thanks to its comparatively subtle burst of flavour. I also loved the Grilled vegetable antipasto with pine seeds and arugula salad; the slightly burnt flavour thanks to the grilling made the vegetables (mostly peppers) thoroughly enjoyable. There were two soup choices, and I tried the Mushroom cappuccino with truffle crème and chives, which was a perfectly portioned soup that was hearty and very tasty!
