The two of us ordered two appetisers and two main courses.
Amuse-bouche is a French term. It is usually a small, bite sized appetiser which is not ordered from the menu and preselected by the chef that serve complimentary to the guest or patron. To my understanding, it means appetiser before appetiser.....
We had squid ink cracker topped with marinated anchovies & pepper puree and seaweed sabayon with potato broth. Both were good but I think the latter was a bit too salty.

| Saveur Art's Pasta - Mozambique langoustine, cold angel hair pasta, olive oil emulsion $13 |
I like how the pasta was done nicely and well seasoned. The langoustine (small lobster) was very fresh too.
 |
| Egg Confit & Truffle - truffled potato mousseline, roasted macadamia nuts, brown butter $12 (Add shaved truffle for additional $18) |
I love everything with truffle and this is a very outstanding dish. The foam is made of truffle, on top of the creamy eggs and paired with crispy potato chips and roasted macadamia nuts. I appreciate the chef's creativity in contrasting the textures and flavours beautifully.

| Iberico Pork Two Ways - pork belly, pork cheek pithivier, celeriac puree, sauce perigueux $23 |
It is basically shao rou (roast pork belly) and shao bao (barbecue pork pastry) on the plate. The pork belly was tender and the fats will melt in your mouth. But it will be better if there's more meat because the ratio of meat to fats was like 1:3. I also like the buttery texture of pithivier (pie) with pork cheek and minced vegetables.
 |
| Duck Leg Confit - pearl barley risotto, green grapes, organic beetroots, foie gras infused Moscato Jus $19 |
The whole leg of duck confit served atop a bed of barley risotto with two foie gras cubes. It wasn't the crispy type but tender and flavourful. The only thing I do not like is the barley risotto as I prefer short-grain rice.
Considering the level of presentation and quality ingredients, it was affordable and value for money. They don't have many choices on the menu, but every dish is an art itself. 'How Great Thou Art', they said.
