On this visit the food was not salty at all! Thank God. U and I picked a full 3-course meal (as usual) for our lunch session, while J and D were being conservative (as usual) and decided on just having the main course. Made us feel like pigs but hey.
U had Parma ham and melon to start - it was nice but it's difficult to screw up to be honest.
My grilled squid salad with grapefruit was done to perfection. The squid was actually tender as opposed to the slightly chewy texture you get normally. I do think the Thai way of doing squid with chili and lime is the best though.
D and U both decided to have the steak. It looked juicy but upon closer inspection the meat was actually really fatty. (At least U's serving was fatty and we have no feedback from D but he ate everything.)
J opted for the chilled lamb terrine with salad and feta. She said it was tasty enough but the consistency was too gelatinous but then it's a terrine after all.
My fish cakes were fried with flakes of salmon and sea bass in the mashed potato. I should say the fish/potato ratio was about 30/70 and I was stuffed after eating one. Could use more fish! The aioli sauce on the side had a nice zing to it.
D didn't tell us what he had ordered but we suspected it was a chocolate souffle cake with strawberry coulis. No feedback but again he polished it off very quickly. A good sign.
The fruits with the cat's tongue cookie. Too bad there was only one cookie cos I really am curious now.
We were told that we must have 3 scoops of ice cream if we wanted the M's ice cream special. Fine by us. Our order for orange, chocolate and passionfruit came sans passionfruit after all. A little disappointing but the orange ice cream was interesting enough to make up for it. The crispy thing (please tell me what it's called) on top was the steal.
My orange ice cream and cake was a little boring but yummy enough. The orange slices were really sour for some reason.
The monthly lunch menu offers starters at RMB58, mains and desserts at RMB118 and RMB48.
