Snapper Symphony
Crisp snapper with Balchao XO ravioli,
bathed in tomato rasam beurre blanc,
crowned with caviar pearls,
resting on asparagus poriyal purée.

A modern ode to the sea 🌊🐟🍃

A tale on the plate
Snapper in kasundi caramel, shimmering like molten gold.
Zucchini wrapped around Balchao XO, a secret of fire & sea.
Rasam turned into silk, beurre blanc whispering spice.
Asparagus poriyal, a green song of coconut & earth.
Edible flowers, a garden’s final blessing. 🌸

A Charlotte that speaks in layers of brightness — yoghurt as the soft canvas, Murcott orange bringing its gentle sweetness, blood orange caramel adding depth and drama, and a final lift of lime zest for a sharp, fragrant finish. A celebration of citrus in all its moods.

This Charlotte is more than a dessert — it’s a celebration of citrus in all its brilliance. The bittersweet depth of blood orange caramel weaves through the layers, the Murcott orange brings warmth and sunshine, while the lime zest lifts every bite with a spark of freshness. Together, they create harmony between richness and lightness, indulgence and vibrance — a story of citrus crafted into elegance.” 🍊✨🌿

The duck breast is glazed in marsala and honey - finished for that caramelised edge.
On side, a silk of carrot lifted with white miso,
sweet meeting savoury in quiet balance.

The roll?
Wild mushroom and pickled plum, wrapped gently in pink cabbage —
earth, acid, and crunch wrapped like a secret.

A jus reduced with duck bones,
and a whisper of star anise —
deep, warm, and necessary.

Every element speaks.
Every bite, a chapter.

This isn’t just a cake. It’s a moment, a memory, and a little bit of me in every bite
