After being waitlisted for the better part of the month, we got a reservation at @tatediningroom, the 2nd time in my life where my waitlist was successful lmao. But the biggest surprise was walking into the restaurant and the staff bringing me straight to the private room! SHOUTOUT TO THE TEAM FOR ARRANGING THAT FOR US!To ease off the stress on my stomach, we opted for the 6 course meal ($1,680) which started with a taro puff amuse bouche and a tofu mousse with century egg and turnip.

To ease off the stress on my stomach, we opted for the 6 course meal ($1,680) which started with a taro puff amuse bouche and a tofu mousse with century egg and turnip. An interesting combination of very local ingredients but with a more refined appraoch to typical cooking methods plus elegant plating. Before we move onto the first course, kind of wanted to highlight this alternative we had for one of guests due to allergies. Made with a variety of mushrooms, the tart shell reminds us of spring roll crisp and is spotted with black garlic sauce. Super aesthetic dish and it really reminded me of Core by Clare Smith,probably one of my top 3 restaurants in the world.
First course of our dinner is the Ode to Crab, which is a lobster shaoxing wine egg custard, with osteria cabiar and flower crab mest on top. Loved the presentation and the red leaves on the side for a touch of autumn.
Then there's the Ode to Seaweed, featuring cuttlefish noodles coated with a savoury butter sauce made with over 6 types of seaweed. The amount of umami in this dish will blow you away, I meam seaweed is like epitome of umami. With the sprinkles of dried shrimp flakes on top, the contrasting textures really worked.
Thrid course is the Ode to Soy Sauce. This dish used turbot as the anchor of this show wrapped with shrimp paste and steamed before wrapping it again with seaweed. Only then do they drizzle their homemade soy sauce on the side to elevate the whole dish. To be honest it was a bit too salty for me, so I only dipped my fish in moderation to bring out the most of everything.
