The Girolle Mushroom Risotto with Foie Gras and Périgueux sauce was an absolutely delightful starter. The risotto was rich and creamy with chunky bits of chanterelles. What I felt elevated this risotto dish from a homely comfort dish to a fine dining level was the addition of the gorgeous melt-in-the-mouth piece of foie gras. Simply heavenly.
Although lamb shank is served in Sage's a la carte dinner menu, I have never tried it. I love eating lamb shank, so when I saw it on the lunch menu, I had to order it. My first impression of the dish was that it tasted very Spanish. I have to admit, I have never eaten lamb shank cooked in a spicy sauce before but it was lovely and hearty, and I loved it. The spicy sausage was a nice accompaniment to the dish. Sage's kitchen had also deboned the shank for easier consumption (and nicer plating I guess).

The Unc had the Pan Fried Sea White Pomfret with Sea Scallop and Beurre Blanc Sauce. We were pleasantly surprised to be served with such a thick slab of white pomfret, this must have come from quite a large fish as pomfrets we have had are usually quite "thin". Sweet and fresh, it was another great fish dish from Sage. The fish was served with two juicy scallops and some kailan.
I loved the Baked Fresh Fig Tartlet served with Ricotta ice-cream. It was quite the opposite of what I envisaged it to be (in a very nice way!). The tartlet was very crumbly and utterly delicious.
Yet another perfect lunch at Sage.

Sean: I think lamb shank has been on their a la carte menu for yonks, but personally I didnt think it was too fine dining hence never ordered it. I'm glad I did this time during lunch cos it was yum yum yummy.
ReplyDeleteFui: Their menu every week looks so good, especially the starters so I can't resist going again and again :D
ReplyDeleteMichelle: Luckily for the past two weeks, their menu had some mains I've tried before so the urge to go wasn't so strong :P
