1 starred michelin place!

i finally tried gourmet meal! I was thinking of getting a meal, lunch to be exact at Ginza, but since prices there are like crazy, at 2000 yen and above for sets, I decided that I shall treat myself to the 1 starred michelin place at my hotel instead.

I opted for the mid priced Menu B with appetisers and 2 desserts with main. The food was great! My...money well spent. The bill: 6,000 yen. (84 SGD)




The Dessert Menu


These cheese puffs were amazing!


This is appetiser numero uno: Baby lamb capachio; yes, it is raw like...and it tastes great!


This is appetiser numero duo: Beetroot jelly with some foam, very good too!


Then comes the soup. Onion soup that is light, fluffy, and oh so aromatic and full of flavour of the onion! Creamy but yet, it's not overly think.


The main: I can choose from 3 meats and 3 seafood, and i choosed this fish fillet cos it's a Japanese fish so i chose this over the braised beef cheeks.


Then comes mini dessert: Lemon Jelly top with sherbet and zest. The magnitude of flavours really burst in this one. The tangy zest with tinge of bitterness. Yet sherbet was amaingly refreshing and jelly was sweet. Very refreshing overall and great way to cleanse the palate after the main.







Then the grand dessert: I opted for panfried strawberries with mascarpone ice cream. Great choice!





Then, as if that's not all, i still have tea with small sweets! I choose the rose and pistachio macarons and choco coated almond and coco bitter sweet orange peel.


Now, do you think Iggys and Les Amies will be this great? Or cheap? haha...
