For dinner that night, we were first served pre-dinner canape preparing us for the exciting vegetarian menu featuring 2 appetizers, soup, palate cleanser, 3 kinds of entree, main course and dessert.
Appetiser
Terrine Of Roasted Pepper
Beans & Peas Jelly
The first appetiser of Terrine Of Roasted Pepper With Beans & Peas Jelly was interesting and colourful with a variety layer of red, yellow and green capsicum encased together with the flavourful beans and peas jelly.
Warm Appetizer
Seared Haloumi & Breaded Camembert
Pickles & Sesame Dressing
This was followed by the warm appetiser of Seared Halloumi and Breaded Camembert, Pickles and Sesame Dressing. An amazing use of two different kinds of cheese - Halloumi and Camembert. Halloumi being the semi-hard brined cheese, while Brie Cheese, on the other hand, is the soft cow's milk cheese where both display interesting contrast to each other.
Halloumi was lightly grilled while the Camembert was deep-fried coated with breadcrumbs. The trick to eating this dish is to first pair them with a bite of the cheeses with sour pickles and grapefruits in one single serving. Be burst with colourful flavours and it's truly a well-match dish indeed.
Soup
Wild Forest Mushroom
Truffle Froth
Next course was the Wild Forest Mushroom With Truffle Froth, featuring a rich and creamy mushroom made from scratch with wild forest mushroom and served with more chunks of the similar mushroom and topped with the truffle oil froth providing an excellent aromatic fragrant to the whole soup.
This was one of the crowd's favourite with everyone enjoying the delicious soup to the last spoonful. Best eaten warm with soft buns to soak up the creamy concoction!
Palate Cleanser
Mango Sorbet
Taking a break from the savouries, we were delighted to taste the Mango Sorbet, presented to us in an interesting and refreshing dessert as the palate cleanser. Served on a craved ice shaped like a leaf, the mango sorbet was tart, sweet and rich-tasting dessert with a creamy texture that was balanced beautifully with bright tart lime juice.
Entree
Chilled Soft Tofu
Shaved Fennel & Yellow Pepper Coulis
The entree of Chilled Tofu with Shaved Fennel and Yellow Pepper Coulis was a great combination of Western and Chinese cuisine. The sweet wolfberries and soft tofu add an interesting taste and texture to this colourful and healthy dish.
Entree
Maple Glaze Pumpkin
King Mushroom & Spinach
Next up was 2 more entree, featuring Maple Glaze Pumpkin With King Mushroom and Spinach and another lovely delight of Steamed Dumpling Stuffed Sweet Turnip and Beans.
