The Fourth Dish

We were soon served the King Prawn prepared by Chef Christopher Millar.

Core Ingredients include - King Prawn, Asparagus, Tarama Cloud, Salmon Roe, Sage Flower.

Tasting Notes - The King Prawn is deshelled, deveined, butterflied, then baked till cooked & served atop the Tamara Cloud, plated with the salmon roe & Asparagus on its side, garnished with Sage flower buds. The King Prawn is very fresh, succulent, sweet & juicy with a crunchy bite.

The aromatic flavors of the Sage flowers complements well with the mildly savoury bursts of the Salmon roe & Tamara Cloud, the sweetness of the King Prawn, & the roasted asparagus infused with the EVOO.

Preparation of Fifth Course - The Beef Cheeks

Here I manage to capture the moments of Chef Anthony Demetre & Chef Christopher Millar preparing the Beef Cheeks.

I took a moment off from the Open Kitchen to admire the Dining Area's ceiling light decor that has skirtings hanging down to create that tidal wave effect.

We happen to be sitting right in front of the Open Kitchen so we had a bird's eye view of the entire Kitchen Operations. Here we have Chef Anthony Demetre & Chef Christopher Millar doing the last finishing touches for the Slow Cooked Beef Cheeks.
