For our last dining experience before Christmas we've headed back to Fenix and as a treat we're given our own degustation with dishes that aren't on the menu. Interestingly, we're offered Ruinart to start with.
Milky cheese soup - hard to describe, quasi yoghurt-like. There are sliced cherries and the Nasturtium leaves give it a little peppery kick.
Raw salmon with slightly picked grapes and deep fried eggplant pieces in a light wasabi syrup = there's also a gently spiced wasabi paste. An instant favourite.
Northern Territory Barramundi topped with wild beluga caviar, grated raw cauliflower, quenelle and fried shallots. Luxury on a plate. The caviar just warmed by heat of the seared fish.
Ascot Lamb - cooked at 56° for 36 hours. It's just meltingly soft.
Slice of manchego cheese with "wool" and quince paste.
Strawberry spaghetti, strawberry mousse and basil sorbet.
Deconstructed Black Forest cake.
Petit Fours - mangopops, salt and vinegar chocolate straws and jelly
