Back to Gunther's

What's better to make use of Stanchart 15% off dining than to go fine dining? It got to be somewhere near our offices so that we can squeeze it within our lunchtime. Of course, Gunther's at Purvis Street came to my mind. We were very impressed with the food 2 yrs back so we thought that we should revisit.

We settled for the degustation menu @ $128++ each.

Cold Angel Hair Pasta, Oscietra caviar
I simply love this cold dish. The truffle oil makes it exceptionally fragrant.

Grilled bamboo clam, Provençale style
Nice and succulent, I made sure I savour every bite :D We detected a citrus flavour to the sauce. Quite refreshing.

Egg fondant, grilled seasonal mushrooms, Spanish ham
Underneath is actually a half-boiled egg. I would never have thought of preparing half-boiled egg this way. Mushrooms, ham, cherry tomato and cheese. A nice surprise here.

Grilled lamb rack, natural jus
Very nice and succulent! I'm a meat lover :) Love the little grains of rice that goes with it.

Grilled Cod Fish
CP didn't want lamb so we had the lamb changed to cod fish. It was fresh and sweet, superb.

Fine apple tart “à la dragées”, Havana rum & raisin ice-cream
A nice finish to the meal.

Somehow, we were seated at the same seats as before.

Fine dining should excite one senses and restaurants like Gunther's, Iggys, Les Amis, Dolce Vita and Jaan definitely accomplished that. I am totally satisfied once again with Gunther's.
