Clam Chowder Soup

Our Christmas celebration at Melt Cafe started with the Clam Chowder Soup. The comforting and creamy bowl of soup infused with the essence of the seafood, whetted up the appetite for the great feast ahead.

Parma Ham with Bocconcini, shaved parmesan, tomatoes, and balsamic vinegar dressing

Following the soup, we have some light appetiser in Christmas colour, the greens. We were served two different types of salad - Apple and Walnut Salad, and Parma Ham with Bocconicin, Shaved Parmesan, Tomatoes, Balsamic Vinegar Dressing. While the former was nutty and freshing, I like the latter for the complexity but yet balanced in flavour.
