Dinner at Jon Gwee's!
Well as most of u would probably know, today was THE Day alot of us were waiting for (although unfortunately not that many of us could make it). Dinner at Jon Gwee's! Yeah well let's cut to the good stuff! It really was as much of a visual feast as it was an actual feast (the portions were small but i was surprisingly full after the 4 courses+ palate cleanser). Anyway, here are some pictures for all of u to enjoy!
Charred Pepper & Onion Soup
Kelp-butter poached Tuna with Squid Ink Pasta
Cucumber & Mint Granita
Cucumber & Mint Granita
Braised Veal Cheek with Mashed Old Bay Potatoes in Onion Cider Broth
Last but not least, the dessert!!! Its so good it deserves 2 pictures!
Molten Chocolate Donuts with Pear & Rosemary Ice-cream
Again!
Yeah well, the food was delicious! The "2-in-1" soup had quite an interesting taste and consistency to it, the charred pepper part being thicker and the onion part being sweeter and smoother! And the pasta and tuna were really to die for! The tuna was just slightly cooked but it didnt taste fishy at all! It was great! A pity there were only 3 pieces...heh.... and the granita was pretty refreshing too though im not a huge fan of cucumber. The veal cheek was sooo tender it just broke apart at the touch of the fork! And lets not forget the dessert! Pear ice cream! One of my favourites! The rosemary gave it an unexpected nice twist! And the donuts! Ooooooh! It wasnt too sweet nor too heavy! Mmmmmmm! For me the stars of the show were the pasta with tuna and the dessert! Need to learn to cook like that! Really happy we got the chance to have Jon cook for us! Hopefully we'll get another chance sometime in the future!
