Today I did not want to have alcohol so we chose the non-alcoholic pairing.
First came the sparkling tea with the amuse bouche. The milk foam together with the chili base is as delicious as usual.
The scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The savory flavors of the blue lobster and caviar was balanced by the melon and melon sauce.
The pasta came and both were al dente. The risotto was creamy while their mezzi paccheri were filled with all the flavors from the shrimp. This was paired with the Queen apple juice and Rhubarb juice respectively.
I had pretty much tried most of the mains here so I decided to try the one main I have not tried, which is the Turbot Fillet, which requires quite a hefty supplement price. This was paired with the pomegranate juice.
The fish definitely looked great and I was looking forward to it when it was served.
However, the course and the juice was a bit disappointing here. The sauce overpowered the flavors of the fillet itself. I thought it might be better to try it with the pairing juice but it did not work that well. The dish was not bad but the problem is when all the mains that don't require a supplement price is so good already, the expectation would be quite high for the dish that requires a supplement, which lacked the finesse that we were hoping for.
Luckily, their desserts are lovely as usual. The coffee granita was a great start to cleanse your taste buds before trying their rich tiramisu. This dessert also paired perfectly with the cherry juice.
However, I definitely loved the saffron tart much more, which definitely is worthy of the supplement. The balance of the vanilla sauce and red wine sauce at the base with the sweet and tarty flavors in the tart from the aloe vera and rhubarb and barolo (red wine) ice-cream on top to be divine. The mixtures of these different textures in the dessert made each bite quite fun to have.
After enjoying these lovely desserts, the matcha petit four was definitely a nice choice and finally ending with their hazelnut chocolate made the lunch end nicely.
题外话/补充资料：
Despite most dishes I would have rated 5 stars, the miss on the flavors of the turbot fillet was just too difficult to ignore so I still had to rate the overall taste as 4 stars this time.
