In conjunction with the inaugural visit of Michelin Star Chef Fuchs recently, he is taking over the kitchen with Mezze Bistro’s resident head chef, Chef Yves Pierre Renou, to cook up a storm of exquisite culinary cuisine with a modern twist, that is distinctively true to their home in Alsace, France, together with wine pairing under the amiable resident sommelier, Sebastien Le Francois.
STARTERS
Reinvented Goat’s Cheese Salad with Crispy Vegetables
~ The usual robust flavour of beetroot is delicately toned down by the smooth whipped Goat’s Cheese, served with laces of purple cabbage for the extra crunch.
Cream of White Coco Bean Soup with Sweet Garlic
~ A rather gung ho attempt, we would say. This cuppa presents you an extraordinary frothed cream soup, incorporating white cocoa beans paimpol, that after one sip would definitely conjures up the aromatic memory of a cup of Joe.
Seared Foie Gras with Roasted Nuts
~ An iconic quintessential flair to the French haute cuisine, this foie gras is impeccably seared, giving arise to a buttery, moist and suave finishing. Heavenly!
Highly recommended to go along with organic Gewurztraminer. Also pairs well with seafood and meat selections.
MAINS
Charbroiled Turbot with Imperial Risotto, Herbed Salad & Chicken Jus
~ A salubrious fillet of turbot that is delightfully charboiled and served with texturized imperial risotto which is bathed in flavourful chicken jus and herbs.
To be paired with To be paired with Pinto Blanc.
Pan-fried Black Cod, served with Bouillabaise, Fennel and Saffron Sauce on a Toast
~ Juicy black cod is mildly pan-fried till lightly brown, and then basked in the golden saporous bouillon, served alongside with crunchy fennel and toastie smothered with luscious saffron sauce.
Quail Stuffed with Crayfish, served with Potato Puree and Crayfish Coulis
~ Deemed as the star-stealer of the day, this is truly a noteworthy masterpiece of Chef Alexy who uses crayfish from Rhine River as its theme. The meat from the molusc that is stuffed into the quail, is extremely delicious and full of oceanic sweetness.
Paired with Alsace Pinot Noir
Veal rib rack
~ Splendidly dished up after some 10 hours of painstakingly slow-cooking at 50 degree Celsius. It is bursting with flavours and the tender texture is infused with a modest sapid hint. Well marinated!
DESSERTS
Chocolate Macaroon with Passionfruit Sorbet
~ Another indulgent palate-pleaser that cleverly brings out the best of both worlds; sweet and sour, just like the part and parcel of our life too. The tartness of the passionfruit sorbet gets tamed by the sweet and slightly crisp, freshly made macaroon.
Passionfruit Panna Cotta
~ The passion fruit puree makes a lovely marriage to the creamy and milky panna cotta. It is rich and velvet, yet not over doing it and is furhter spiced up with a disc of tangy grilled pineapple.
Dessert are best paired with sweet wine of Eau de Vie (Water of Life) or an Alsace schnaps, Eau de Vivre.
Definitely a night of sumptuous gourmet indulgence!
