I was so happy to get invited to a tasting dinner at Le Chef which used to be Cafe De Metro park.
During lunchtimes they serve the buffet and in the evening they serve fine dinners paired with specially selected wines.
The new decor is so much nicer and stylish.

Assorted bread and condiments:
I loved the bread selection and the breads were warm too.
They had foccacia and mini crispy buns as well and it was delicious with the butter and balsamic vinegar provided.
The oil which I thought was olive oil was actually orange flavoured oil.

Botan Ebi Carpaccio in Ceviche:
This was beautifully presented but I felt that there was too much yuzu sauce which covered the prawn taste and it was slightly too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Togarashi Seared Tuna Salad with Shizo Vert:
The tuna was delicious. The edges of the tuna were crispy. As the the flavouring was quite heavy, the crispy edges and soft tender tuna reminded me of the Chinese roast pork belly.

Cream of Pumpkin & Fennel Soup with Scallop:
The colour of this soup looked like butternut squash, but the taste was amazing. It was extremely creamy and I love Fennel.
The Fennel was strong and wholesome.
The scallop in the soup gave it some depth.

Seafood Tomato Soup:
This soup was quite interesting, it was quite creamy with strong basil.
There were lots of mussels in the soup.

Double Flavored Brown Crab: Baked Brown Crab Shell with Crab Meat & Mango Salad:
The mango salad and crabmeat was a refreshing pairing and the mango was really sweet.
The baked crab was full of surprises, there were mushrooms in the creamy sauce and beneath the sauce, there was generous crab roe!!

Sauteed Tilapia with Lemon-herb Glaze:
The fish was really satisying and the mash was delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Poached Japanese White Peach in Red Wine:
The poached peach was presented beautifully and there shard of yellow sugar glass on top was pretty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coffee or Tea :
To finish off the meal there was soothing tea.
The lemon slices were separate so you could decide how much lemon to put in.

Once again I would like to thank Le Chef and the the related people for inviting me and giving me the lovely travelling garment holder.
