Dining, 27 March 2023
The sensual journey begins with a welcome treat – Feta, Beetroot and Thyme Quiche. The mini quiche made with egg and thyme is infused with a herbal scent, matching well with the shaved feta cheese and beetroot powder on top.
The collection of exquisite sweet treats includes a fruity White Peach Compote & Raspberry Crème Tart, carrying complementary textures and flavours of homemade white peach compote and raspberry chocolate cream. The Ruby Chocolate Truffle Dome is a take on the classic truffle dome, with layers of chocolate truffle and sponge cake, coated in a crust of ruby chocolate. In the Sakura Strawberry Marmalade Shortcake Roll with Sakura Crunch, the luscious marmalade is mixed with crunchy sakura petals to offer natural floral notes that will surely tantalise the taste buds. Lychee & White Chocolate Mousse, Sable Breton is the contrast of flavours with refreshing lychee jelly, creamy white chocolate mousse and buttery Sable Breton. The edible flower petal and silver leaf on top add a classy touch.
The series of savoury delights include a Spicy Lobster & Shrimp Cassia Bun, Dill & Lemon. The bouncy diced lobster and shrimp meat is seasoned with a Korean spicy mayo sauce and complemented by a soft pink bun for surprising freshness. The Salmon & Dill Cream Cheese Roll, Keta Eggs presents a burst of umami with smoked salmon, salmon roe and cream cheese. Refreshing Crab & Lemongrass Tart combines fresh crab meat in mayo and a crunchy tart base for an ocean-sweet sensation. The Mortadella & Mascarpone Sandwich, with Pistachio Pesto, makes a delectable and fulfilling sandwich, decorated with pink cream-cheese and pistachios.
Cranberry Scones & Orange Blossom Scones are the must-have in an afternoon tea. Guests can enjoy them to their liking with the trio of Strawberry Jam, Lemon Curd and Clotted Cream. Guests can also head to the confectionery table for more pastries, assorted cookies and tea cakes.
Spring’s gentle sun has awakened the soul of our dearest friend, O.V.T.. Guests are invited to appreciate its thriving flower power which will gladden everyone’s heart.
