As usual we begin with a couple of glasses of 1999 Pol Roger - which proves to be an excellent match to the amuse
of Oyster with vodka, ginger and lime granita and salmon roe.
For starters:
Black angus beef tartare with condiments & a fried quail egg
Unlike the previous version Paalo enjoyed here, this one comes with the accompaniments mixed into the beef and is served as a large, flattish disc - for a change it is topped with a barely fried quail egg. It certainly gets those taste buds going.
Slow-cooked green lip abalone served with and crispy confit pork belly, raspberry vinegar glaze
My turn to enjoy this dish. Last time I didn't get to try the pork as it was Ash Wednesday so I didn't know what I was missing out on. This has to be one of the best examples of pork belly I've had in quite a while - the skin almost caramel like while the flesh just fell apart. While the abalone are fabulous, the pork is certainly just as good.
For mains:
Roasted Golden Plains pork fillet with braised Mt Zero green lentils, pomme fondante & stuffed pig’s trotter
The stuffed pig trotter is presented at the far right of the plate - a compact cylinder, the trotter skin is wrapped around the meat based stuffing. A wonderfully lickable, dense and sticky sauce is drizzled over the components.
Free range chicken leg cooked two ways with “poule au pot” vegetables
A rather plump leg stands in the center of the plate, underneath are thick slices of a stuffed chicken leg. A very honest dish where the quality of ingredients and their natural flavours are allowed to speak for themselves.
Cheese:
Pont l'Eveque at the front, Comté Gruyere to the right and at the back, a french goat cheese

white chocolate sponge with strawberry salad; creme brulee; madeleine, chocolate ganache; panna cotta, sorbet
