Chef Grandits serves salmon sashimi style with the carrot prepared numerous ways including chips, hollandaise, tapioca and stew. This allows the diner to taste all the possible textures of the carrot with it's strong acidity balancing out the fatty salmon
.
On the other hand, Chef Benjamin Halat ferments and uses the carrots to create a delicious broth with barley, Kaffir lime and coriander. The soup like mixture is incredibly vibrant and very tangy. The balance of sour and tasty noted are reminiscent of great Thai food and I personally loved it

This is the @dehesa.sg signature dish and it involves 3 stages of cooking. The tender flesh from the cheeks of the big are first braised, then flash fried then finished in an oven. Served with a runny egg yolk, the dish looks rather messy once mixed but is very delicious. The tender and flavorful pork meat with the crisp exterior and the smooth egg yolk make for terrific eating. The sauce and capers add the right touch of acidity and flavour to ensure that every bite is enjoyable. A very good dish 👌

A generous portion of rice cooked with black squid ink and topped with mixed seafood. This was a solid dish but I did not really like the rice which I found a bit too mushy. However, the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. Furthermore, the octopus, clams and prawns were very precisely cooked. Very tender and sweet. Overall, a good dish but not the highlight of a meal here so order if you want a carbohydrate but if not, there are even better options on the menu.

This was a very strong dish. The side components were all fresh and light and the broth was extremely fragrant. However, the star was the scallop which had a beautiful sear and a perfectly translucent center. (Swipe right to see the glistening center of the scallop) The Hokkaido 🇯🇵 sourced scallop was large, plump, extremely sweet and simply perfect. Definitely a big reason to grab one of the last few seats remaining while Chef Grandits is in 🇸🇬

Named "eggs in an egg", Oscietra caviar is served with a perfectly cooked hen's egg from 🇳🇿. This pairing of eggs is nestled on a bed of flavorful bluefoot mushrooms and piquant cevennes onions. At the bottom of the dish lies a delicate cauliflower Panna cotta. The lighter flavours of the accompaniments allow the caviar and egg to shine and the overall dish tastes very rich but earthy - partially due to the entire dish being smoked with aromatic rosemary. It is served with Parmesan brioche. Overall, a superb dish, with flavours that meld together brilliantly👌

I loved this superb execution of chocolate and salt at @dehesa.sg. 🇸🇬
.
Scoops of chocolate mousse are plated on top of crisp chocolate soil with chocolate wafers for a nice texture contrast. The good quality chocolate has nice depth of flavour and the mousse is smooth and rich. The dish is finished with a few drizzles of a superbly fruity Italian 🇮🇹 olive oil and some sea salt. An indulgent but absolutely delicious dessert. 😋

Was pleasantly surprised by this dish. It was not greasy at all and the light crisp pastry protected the tender shrimps well. Very good as an appetizer or a snack with drinks. Definitely a good attempt to make fine cooking more accessible in 🇸🇬

A very generous portion of beef perfectly grilled to a juicy medium rare. Superb crust on the steak. The beef cheek wrapped in the radicchio leaves was tender but I didn't love the flavour. However, overall, this was a very enjoyable dish with the roast treviso providing a slightly bitter taste which perfectly balanced the rich dish. This dish was part of the special menu offered by Chef Ross Lusted from @thebridgeroom 🇦🇺 until Friday at @mezza9sg 🇸🇬

Whipped black sesame, toasted sesame, melon slices with puffed black rice and a coconut sugar sauce

This was a very good dish with the toasted sesame powder and whipped sesame having deep, smoky notes while the melon and coconut sugar added a rich sweetness. A very good dessert. Available at @mezza9sg 🇸🇬 for lunch and dinner until this Friday

This was a beautiful orange hued dish served by the 2 Michelin ⭐⭐ Chef Emma Bengtsson as part of the 4 hands collaboration for the first Art at Curate event for 2018 on Sentosa island 🇸🇬. Quite excited for their next event coming soon from 27th April with another extremely talented 2 ⭐⭐ chef, Tanja Grandits from Basel 🇨🇭

This was a very good rendition of a Chinese staple. At the 1 Michelin Star Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Restaurant 🇸🇬, they do it simply but very well. Beef tenderloin cubes are wok fried with a generous helping of sliced onions and a powerful Sarawak black pepper sauce. The onions and beef are both cooked lightly and remain crisp and juicy respectively. A good dish 👌

A very solid roast chicken rice shop. The rice was fragrant and not too oily. The chicken itself was quite juicy and plump but not greasy. Meat was tender including the white meat and the skin was flavoful though soggy because it was drenched in sauce
