Assiette

This post is very not-up-to-date . We went to Assiette since May ^ ^'' for the friday lunch. 3 courses for $30 such an amazing deal for us.

I normally walked pass by this restaurant many times when I was going to Chef warehouse.

Lemon Lime Bitter $4.50

Butter, I pretty like the style.

Billy and ?

We also love the silverware here.

Haha..

Mini Sourdough, warm and nice.

Sweetcorn veloute with basil oil and spanner crab (Kimmy & Ja's)

This dish was surprisingly good for me. I am not a big fan of corn but this one was so creamy, velvety sweet. The small pieces of crab gave it a texture while the basil oil gave the herby aroma.

Roasted carrot tortellini with a pinenut beurre noisette (Billy & Stella's)

It looked so beautiful ! I tried a bit of this and its good, love the puree underneath, not sure it was pumpkin? (but it wasn't mentioned on the name)

Our main, there were beef and fish dishes and all of us chosed the same dish.haha

Beef bourguignong with garlic pomme puree and bone marrow (all of us)

I love how it looked ! Just right amount, not too big or too small. The first spoon into my mouth, I felt it was a bit bland and I said ''umm.. pretty normal, nothing speacial". But when I keep eating, the more I eat, the more flavour I can taste. I think thats why chef didn't overseason it. The mash was very creamy.

It was my first time to see the bone marrow was this pink. (but Stell said it is normally pink, is it?). I love bone marrow but maybe it was still not cooked enough for my liking, the texture was just too weird for me. Oh, I love the mushroom here, so juicy.

Come to desserts!

Vanilla pannacotta with apple puree and macerated prunes (Kimmy & Stella's)

"It is ok, not as good as Jonah's at Whale beach." said Kimmy. I felt the apple puree tasted like pear.. haha. Grape was wonderful.

Chocolate brownie with macademia parline ice cream (Ja & Billy's)

The presentation was beautiful. The brownie was cakey style and a bit dry for my liking. ( I prefer its more fudgy), but still good, eating with delicious parline ice cream made it better.
