THE OLIVE’s VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIAL 4- COURSE MENU
The fourth dish, a main course, was the Lamb Loin, consisting of capsicum pesto, aubergine, compressed cucumber, rosemary burnt butter and onion juice. The meat was cooked perfectly pink, with a refreshingly pungent flavour emanating from the capsicum pesto. The rosemary burnt butter complemented the lamb well, with the onion juice adding a subtle sweetness to the dish.
Tasting is believing – and the Wagyu did not disappoint. Sliced into beautiful cuts and lightly torched, each bite was the perfect epitome of melt in the mouth texture, the beef’s juices spreading out over the tongue. Its buttery smooth disposition meant there was little chewing involved, and despite the high fat content, was not cloying. Even without seasoning, the beef had a savoury, pure meaty flavour that was excellent on its own.
The star of the show was undoubtedly the Lobster Tail and Chilean Seabass with Orange Basil Sauce, Asparagus, and Mushrooms Ragout. This dish was specially crafted for our media visit, and as such, is not yet available on the menu. You can try the award-winning Chilean Seabass dish at the restaurant, just without the lobster tail. The dish hit all the right notes, and was done with finesse. Huge, meaty chunk of seabass, perfectly done. Airflown into Malaysia, it still retained an amazing degree of freshness, and the flesh was naturally sweet and had a melt in the mouth texture. Asparagus was also done well, crisp and cooked to perfection. Lobster tail was sweet with a springy texture, and the orange basil sauce brought all the different elements together. Worthy of a five star establishment!
