Special Post - The Garden Restaurant


A short distraction from my alphabetical food list, i had to review this restaurant because, well, my friend works in it, and i have been wanting to try it since more than a year ago! Now i finally had a chance to, coutesy of my gals who decided to hold our Xmas dinner there (although it would have been more fun if the Man on MC was there cooking for us, haha).

It was so quiet at 8pm, i thought we had booked the whole restaurant

Fruit juice (orange+apple/carrot+beetroot)

Complimentary bread & herb mayo dip

Watermelon jelly with wasabi cream and hamachi sashimi

Immunity+Detox salad (yes, thats exactly what they called it)

Flax seed chips to go with the salad

Organic wheat germ pasta with 56 degrees celcius Tuna, alfafa sprouts and octopus confit

Corn tagliatelle with pesto chicken, roasted chicken "dust" and coriander (i think) espuma

Poached snapper en papilotte with chilli, lemongrass, coconut espuma & pilaf rice(i think)

Lamb rack with wild mushroom jus and brown rice (i think)

Strawberry sorbet with chopped pistachio nuts

This restaurant focuses on Italian-Asian fusion dishes that are meant to be "good to the taste, healthy to the body", and i believe that every dish is planned to achieve some form of "good karma" to various body functions, but yet not conforming to the traditional belief that "healthy food taste bad". Generally, most of the dishes are done pretty nicely, even the complimentary bread roll (NB: i don't  normally touch the bread in most restaurants, but i have to admit, the bread here is very fresh and very nice). However, it will be better if the chefs can go easy on the salt, as the meal left us pretty thirsty after that. Overall, kudos to a great restaurant team and an amazing group of girls!
