When my friend told me about this restaurant I thought it was this watch brand because there used to be this brand in TST called Vabene Italy.
Anyway, Va Bene restaurant is located just to the left of Saiyingpun’s exit A1 so it is really convenient and located just round the corner from this chic hair salon.
The restaurant was grand with an open kitchen.
Here was what we had:
+++++++++++
Baked aubergine with tomato and Parmesan sauce:
0 讚好
This was a whole roasted eggplant with Parmesan sauce.
It was quite a filling starter because it was a whole aubergine/eggplant that was baked with tomatoes and strong cheese sauce that was runny.
+++++++++++
Scallops, hazelnut and lemon:
0 讚好
The scallop carpaccio was light with fragrant hazelnuts on it.
+++++++++++
Risotto with beetroot and gorgonzola sauce:
0 讚好
The risotto was a bright fuschia colour and the risotto was aldente but not chalky drizzled with a strong gorgonzola sauce.
+++++++++++
Spaghetti with lobster, peanuts and chili:
The spaghetti was memorable because it looked like minestrone with long pieces of spaghetti and chunks of lobster.
I loved the broth because the peanuts gave it a nutty taste and it was like lobster bisque with a satay touch to it.
The broth tasted great with the bread.
+++++++++++
Seabass with black ligurian olive sauce:
The seabass was delicate flavoured by the saltiness of the olives.
+++++++++++
Beef tenderloin with pink pepper and ginger:
The beef tenderloin here was really good, it was tender and thinly sliced with a pink centre.
I liked the pink peppercorn sauce because it was fragrant without being overly prominent.
+++++++++++
Thyme infused panna cotta with wild berries and mint sauce:
A panna cotta with a difference because it was milky with an infused Thyme flavouring.
+++++++++++
Soft chocolate with hazelnut icecream:
This was a delight to look at because it was hazelnut icecream floating on a bed of light fluffy whipped chocolate sauce.
+++++++++++
