Lunch @ Pearl

After last night we're still feeling a bit sad so we've decided to head out to Pearl to help cheer us up.



Apart from that it's been a long time between meals here.


Coddled Egg Toastie with scallops and salmon caviar - when I saw this was back on the menu I just had to order it.



Seriously, is there a much lovelier sight than that?


Adam's Memories of Manhattan - an offering of four fish tastes





For mains:


Roast Red Duck Curry, a crispy fried eggs, shallots, mint, sweet fish sauce, coconut rice and cabbage spear

For my main choice I went for another classic Pearl offering - if you only ever have one dish here, make sure you at least try this.


Roast Saltbush Lamb Leg with grilled cutlets, brussel sprout leaves, broad beans, mint, cumin and cauliflower cream

Paalo's main was a study of Lamb, there's about 6 different cuts of lamb. The cauliflower cream sitting at the center of the plate was like velvet.

Rather than have dessert we ordered a plate of "Sweet Treats"




Verjus jelly, violet marshmallow, pearl dusted chocolate truffles


Berry Jellies, Saffron Fairyfloss
