Poached Lobster with Mango Salsa 4.2/5

Amuse Bouche was Poached Lobster with Mango Salsa. The fruity salsa was a lovely complement for the beautifully poached lobster. It really got me excited for the next dish. The salsa was worth mentioning, there were flavours from the nutty pistachio, sweet mango and fragrant sesame.

Crab & Seruga Caviar 4.5/5

Appertiser was Crab & Seruga Caviar. The beautiful garden was bursting with flavours from the crabmeat, vin de blanc jelly, champagne grape, frisee salad and citrus dressing.

Cod Fillet 4.2/5

For the main there were 3 selections and to introduce us to The Good Life iPhone app we have to order from the app by redeeming our main selection.

Sherie aka maameemoomoo who is seated on my left ordered the Cod Fillet which was specially created for the night. The cod fillet was served with grilled artichoke, truffle, parsnip puree, tomato salsa and lemon foam. The cod fish wa perfectly cooked, it was fresh and moist.

Wagyu Rib Eye 4.2/5

My partner had the Wagyu Rib Eye served with horseradish crusted bone marrow, sauteed broccolini, grill portobello mushroom and chive baby potatoes. The huge piece of intense marbling beef cooked to a nice medium pink was tender, flavourful and juicy with a nice smokey aroma.

Slow Roasted Suckling Pig with Iberico Jamon and Fig stuffing 4.2/5

For myself, I had the slow roasted Suckling Pig with Iberico Jamon and Fig stuffing. It was served with Kurobuta Pork Belly, Fried Applies, Apple and Pear Jelly and crackles. The final presentation of the dish surprised me as it was totally different from what I have imagined. Lovely sweet and fruity sauce for the main. However the Kurobuta Pork Belly was a bit too fat for my liking.

White Chocolate Bomb with Lemon Verbena Pannacotta 4/5

Ending the dinner on a sweet note was a lovely white cholocate dessert that was served with pineapple sauce. For those with a sweet tooth,  it was really an enjoyment for the palate.
