Previous came here for tea and discovered new items on the menu which I wanted to try but couldnt because I had a tasting afterwards.
Luckily I got a chance to try these new dishes thanks to Spade by Lassana.
The new menu offers:
Macaroni and shrimp in lobster sauce
Black truffle macaroni
Mini black and white burgers
Braised ox tail in red wine sauce
Lasagne
Buccatini in Carbonara sauce
As a Westerner, my picks would definitely be the Lasagne but as it was a tasting I decided to try the other options which you can't try elsewhere such as the macaroni and burgers.
I would have tried the buccatini but I don't like Carbonara sauce, if it was a different sauce I would have tried it.
Heres what we tried:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cream of tomato soup:
The tomato soup was really tangy and not so creamy with a reasonable consistency.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Macaroni and shrimp in lobster sauce:
I was really looking forward to this and the macaroni was done just right, not too soft or hard, but the lobster sauce was not strong enough.
When I reached the bottom, the lobster taste was stronger so perhaps it should be mixed thoroughly before you eat it because the sauce goes to the bottom.
The prawns are freshly cooked there.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black truffle macaroni:
This was macaroni in creamy truffle sauce with diced gammon ham.
It was too creamy for my liking but the truffle was nice and strong.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black and white burgers:
The black burger was a charcoal bun paired with crabmeat patty.
The patty was really soft and it had strong bell pepper taste.
The white burger was paired with a beef patty which was outshone by the crab because there was nothing striking about the beef.
Perhaps, they could have used truffle or beef patty made with Wagyu, or a put a small slice of steak in it.
Although I liked the crab one, it is bound to be popular because people are going to order it because of the cute presentation.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Braised ox tail in red wine sauce:
The ox tail was quite nice but not very satisfying as a meal because the toasted baguette slices were not substantial enough.
[Perhaps it would be sufficient for "normal" girls]
It would be great if it was served with buccatini or a side of rice.
The ox tail was soft and braised in rich gravy but there were still some fat attached which turns you off.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cakes galore:
There were more cakes to choose from such as green tea roll, earl grey chiffon cake, lemon tart etc.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cookies and cream waffle:
The waffle was done just right, soft on the inside with a crispy exterior.
There were cubes of black sesame cakes topped on it which were grey, but the black sesame taste was not strong enough to taste it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate fondant cake:
The fondant cake was paired with chocolate icecream.
A must for chocolate lovers, but I would prefer a choice of icecream.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Anyway, I shall be back for the lasagne!
