With the recent trend of going vegan and meatless, you can see more and more people are going into healthy lifestyle and environmental friendly concept. I was excited to see what Chef Jeremy offered for our meatless 5-course menu of the night.

We started off with mocktail drink that consists of grape and grapefruit juice with sage. Refreshing drink before we start our night.

Next, we had the canapé of duo finger items. We were recommended to try the jelly-like dome of herb on a pastry followed by the croquette.

Complimentary breads were served. There are the sourdough and soft bun with herb bread. The breads come with citrus butter, salted Normandy butter and a herb butter.

Moving on is the Verveine, Cucumber Water, Tofu Crème. It was a refreshing cucumber water taste with fragrance sesame in the tofu cream and the acidic taste from verveine. And I enjoyed the crunch from the vegetables.

Thyme Citron, Fava, Green Pea, Grapefruit is the first course of the night.
The combination of each ingredient was surprisingly good. There is the nutty taste from the fava and green peas and the citrusy flavour from the grapefruit. Pretty presentation and taste good too.

Carvi,Purple Artichoke, Fresh Sage

Second course dish was appealing and taste equally good too. The aromatic carvi served with natural flavour from the tender purple artichoke and Mediterranean mint taste of fresh sage.Surprisingly, some of the guests who do not like artichoke enjoyed the dish. It was simple ingredient used and yet deeply satisfying.

Menthe Verte, Chayote, Sunflower Seed

Chayote is also known as mirliton squash is an edible plant and was prepared in two different textures along with mint sauce, cream and sunflower seed sauce. What makes the dish even flavourful is the sunflower seed. And chayote is very low in calories but rich in folate vitamin which is good for health.





Trou-normand– lemon sorbet served as a palate cleanser before the main course served.

Hysope, St Vincent Asparagus, Sesame

Asparagus served with shaved green mango and sesame seed for the flavours.

Polenta

Mushroom diced included in the cornmeal.

Pre-dessert

Pineapple mousse and kiwi sorbet topped with the coriander leave as the pre-dessert of the night.

Reine des Pres, Pink Lady Apple, Rhubarbe

We ended the dinner with a nice fruity, sweet and slight sourish from all the components from the apple and plants.

It was a gastronomy dinner experience with curated vegetarian menu from the herbs, plants and ingredients carefully sourced by Chef Jeremy and team. Who says vegetarian food is not gastronomic? Check this place for different whole perspective of vegetarian dishes.
