4 snacks1 – musk melon
wife bought an exquisite 8-course degustation dinner for our belated anniversary celebrations on 6.6.2018. ^^
since Jaan was removed from amex love dining (Jaan was our favourite both under andre & subsequently julian royers), there were not so many places we go for degustation & omakase.
the best for me is hachi – both the omakase lunch & dinner. hachi omakase lunch much greater value at 1/2 the price of dinner.
the other place is cornerhouse, which we go few & far between for occasions like anniversary dinner 1.6.2016.^^ that was one of the best with very good quality of ingredients like lobster & tajiyama wagyu..
last year we had a late valentine dinner at summerhouse on 1.3.2017… chef florian ridder was formerly sous chef here at one-Michelin-starred alma. the S$128 10-course menu was good but not quite in the same league as what we had this evening…
4 snacks2 – potato, salted egg yoke
alma’s dishes were equally fine & more inventive c/w cornerhouse, and every snack & course dishes were delicious, wonderful combination of flavours.
4 snack3 -foie gras toast

4 snack4 – brie & truffle
we enjoyed all the 4 wonderful snacks…all delicious & a great start to the evening…

the yorkshire pork jowl itself seemed ordinary after so many tasty dishes.
#7 miyazaki A5 wagyu
the miyazaki A5 wagyu of course the best! (though hachi omakase lunch serving of 3 better quality ohmi wagyu was unmatchable)
