Tess Bar & Kitchen

A dish that looks small but boasts a bold flavour. And because of how full-bodied the execution of the bone marrow was, I’d recommend sharing this lest you get sick of it too easily. I enjoyed spreading the bone marrow on the garlic bread and pairing it with the beef - essentially constructing the different elements of this dish together because it complemented one another so well. The sweetness from the caramelised onion was a nice touch, but like the grilled lamb short ribs - the strong flavours got too overwhelming after a while.

Fresh and plump oysters which I enjoyed. It was dressed with raspberry, vinaigrette, and ikura, though the raspberry wasn’t very apparent to me.

Can understand why people say that the short ribs are on the gamier side, but I personally thought it was manageable, perhaps even worth it because the meat was really fall of the bone kind of tender! And helping to balance that gaminess was the interesting choice of pomegranate and toasted almonds which gave both a crunchiness and sweetness to the lamb. I did think that by the end, the lamb was too greasy which made it feel much heavier on the palate.

Interesting one for us - it's like Icecream but with a milkier flavour, and it's slightly airier and lighter in texture compared to icecream!

Quite strong in the cocoa flavour because of the cocoa powder topping. Overall a decent tiramisu, except that all the rum flavour was only evident in the raisins, instead of in the cake itself.
