Lunch at Jaan by Kirk Westaway

Continuing my April birthday celebrations, my wife and I enjoyed a beautiful lunch date at Jaan by Kirk Westaway which is an award winning restaurant featured in Asia’s Top Restaurants and the Michelin Guide.

Our lunch for the day features five courses celebrating the reinvention of British cuisine with unique takes on classic dishes.

Situated at the 70th level of Swissotel The Stamford, the restaurant offers stunning panoramic views of the entire city landscape.

Appetizers: Cucumber Meringue, Fish & Chips, Cheddar Pie, and Goose Mousse.

Lovely introduction to the meal with a progression of flavors and texture, providing a great sign that we are in for a gastronomical affair.

Soup: Roast Leek & Potato Soup.

Satisfying to the last drop, this warm entree awakes our senses and prepares us for the upcoming dishes. 

Bread: Rustic Rye Sourdough Bread.

So good that I have to control myself from filling up with bread before the rest of the dishes arrive.

Mains: White Asparagus with Caviar.

A balanced plate of sweet, savory, and sour notes just like a refreshing air of spring on our palates. 

Mains: Hens Egg with 5J Ham.

A fresh take on a breakfast classic that is as rich as it sounds, served with a small buttery toast to soak up each golden drop of sunshine in your plate.

Mains: Cornish Seabass with Spring Vegetables.

A nuanced dish encompassing the flavors of the ocean in each bite, contrasting perfectly with gifts from spring.

Mains: Welsh Lamb with English Peas.

Sweet, tender, succulent lamb wrapped in a crust to seal in all of the rich flavors and paired with a complex combination of sauces to accentuate the meaty goodness without overpowering it.

Pre-Dessert: Yuzu Ice.

Refreshing palate cleanser which makes us even more excited for the finale of the day.

Desserts: Chocolate Hazelnut with Coffee Flakes and Conference Pear with Vanilla Caramel.

Both desserts are absolutely delicious with my chocolate loving wife oozing over the richness of the Chocolate Hazelnut while I slowly savor my Conference Pear with Vanilla Caramel which resembles a perfect afternoon tea with my favorite slice of pie on a lazy weekend.

And last but not least, a quadruplets of sweet treats to mark the end of our lunch date.

Now for the question of the day: Was it worth it? Would I return for another meal to sample its tasting menu?

The answer is a resounding yes. Although the decor of the restaurant is simple and in need of a touch-up, the sweeping view of the city and the warm service more than makes up for it. The food is stunning and delicious, showcasing the chef’s unique interpretation of modern British cuisine with reinventions perfected over time. My wife and I has just added the restaurant to our small list of favorites and we will be returning next season to try out its latest tasting menu.

A World’s 50 Best divulgou hoje sua lista dos melhores 50 restaurantes do mundo. A Casa do Porco é o único restaurante a figurar na lista, pulando da 39ª para a 17ª posição. A lista dos restaurantes que conquistaram entre a 51ª e a 100ª posição foi anunciada na semana passada. D.O.M. (61º), Oteque (67º) e Lasai (85º) figuram no ranking. Este ano, como em todos os anos, o 50 Best comete inúmeras injustiças. Conheço 7 dos 10 primeiros. Não gosto nem um pouco de 2 deles (Noma, o vencedor pela enésima vez) e Central. Diria que o Maido é apenas razoável. Entre estes primeiros eu fico feliz com a 2ª posição do Geranium, um restaurante brilhante que não surpreendentemente está bem colocado. Ele segue a linha que domina o World’s 50 Best, a de um restaurante de alta gastronomia europeia. Entre os brasileiros, Casa do Porco e D.O.M. estão com valor exagerado. D.O.M. por algum motivo ainda consegue se segurar nestas listas. E parabéns a Oteque e Lasai, ambos merecidos. Olha, rankings são sempre complicados. No caso do World’s 50 Best alguns conceitos definitivamente precisariam ser revistos. O que vocês acharam do ranking? Alguma injustiça ou exagero? #worlds50best #worlds50bestrestaurants https://www.instagram.com/p/CUqV3ZvLsH9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Flashback: World #32 Nerua Spain

Flashback: World #32 Nerua Spain

Life gets pretty hectic at times, and while I tried to keep this blog up to date regularly, I missed posting about some amazing restaurants. So I’ve created the Flashback Series; short sharp updates about some of the best restaurants I’ve been to and never wrote about… Hope you enjoy I’m starting with a restaurant that surprised the heck out of me, partially because it was an additional surprise…

“People like to think the creative process is romantic. The artist drifts to sleep at night, to be awakened by the subliminal echoes of his or her next brilliant idea. The truth, for me at least, is that creativity is primarily the result of hard work and study”. . .

Valentine’s Day Dinner at Odette

For our first Valentine’s Day celebration as a married couple, my wife and I decided to celebrate this special occasion at the one and only Odette, which is known around the world with accolades in the Michelin Guide, Asia’s Top 50, and World’s Top 50.

A trio of beautiful starters welcomed us at the start of our evening’s culinary journey.

Next item on our dinner menu was an umami filled Mushroom Tea served in a cute little mushroom bowl complete with a wooden cap.

While we waited for our 1st course, a plate of warm bread was served comprising of a selection of sourdough, baguette, and brioche.

1st Dish - Hokkai Uni & Iwashi Duo: Kristal caviar, Apple, Finger lime.

Uni and caviar dominated this dish as we were overwhelmed with the flavors of the ocean, packaged in delicious morsels that helped to tantalize and excite our taste buds.

2nd Dish - Normandy Brown Crab: Nashi pear, Avocado, Wasabi Oil.

The delicate layer of pear jelly encapsulated the firm and meaty brown crab, balanced by the creamy avocado and wasabi oil.

3rd Dish - Rosemary Smoked Organic Egg: Smoked potato syphon, Chorizo Iberico, Meuniere.

The 1st dish of the night with visual theatrics as we were served a classic dish of bacon and eggs accentuated by smoked rosemary at the bottom of the serving bowl to engage our senses. 

4th Dish - Raviole De Langoustine: Shiso, Black Truffle, Bisque.

Excitement filled the air as the chef picks up a piece of black truffle and keeps shaving it onto our dish until it almost covers our hearty langoustine enclosed in a thin raviole shell. With the raviole swimming in the rich bisque, I was surprised by the lightness of the dish, all thanks to the shiso lying underneath the raviole shell.

5th Dish - Bouillon ‘Paysan’: Foie gras, Abalone, Shiitake.

Combining two of the most luxurious ingredients in the world resulted in an umami rich broth filled with layered textures, from the crunch of the abalone to the softness of the foie gras.

6th Dish - Wild Atlantic Turbot: Stuffed morel, Swiss chard, Vin jaune.

Another beautiful gift from the ocean with the stuffed morel adding a much needed crunch to contrast with the soft delicate turbot which breaks effortlessly at the slightest touch of my fork.

7th Dish - Kampot Pepper Crusted Pigeon: Beetroot, Black garlic, Confit leg.

Before the medium rare pepper crusted pigeon is served on our plates, the chef teased us by presenting the alluring meat in a diorama contained in a wooden box.

Once served, we were drawn into the deep hues of red and purple presented on the plate and astonished by the depth of flavors and texture contained in the well crafted meat with the beetroot and rosemary helping to underline the earthy tones for the entire dish.

Before desserts are served, we could either select from the usual offering of coffee and tea or choose from non-caffeinated botanical brews. As my wife and I are huge fans of experimenting with botanicals at home, we optioned for the brews which were so comforting and soothing. A small little icy treat accompanied our drinks which helped to cleanse our palate for the final dishes of the night.

8th Dish - Yuzu Tart: Sable Breton, Shiso, Basil.

A refreshing dessert with so much flavors and textures layered on top of each other to create a visually stunning masterpiece.

As a little surprise to celebrate our recent nuptial, the chef presented a special chocolate dessert which magically disappear into this cocoa fan’s tummy in a matter of minutes.

We end our tasting menu with four desserts where the ice lollipops ended up as our favorite amongst the selection.

Final question of the day: Was the meal worth the dent to your wallet and the long wait on the dining reservation list?

In my opinion, a visit to Odette is like opening an elegant music box with a beautiful ballerina dancing to its own beat. Every mechanical gear and revolving disc is tuned and timed to perfection to deliver its best performance. Each dish on the tasting menu is well executed and delivered in a beautiful setting that is worthy of its reputation and accolades. A visit to Odette is an exclusive culinary experience reserved for special celebrations and occasions that I would highly recommend. Just book in advance and dress up for your date. You will not be disappointed.
