Capella: Modern Italian at CHIJMES

Went to the very romantic CHIJMES for a nice romantic dinner with mr wong. We were a little taken aback by how classy the place is. Felt kinda under dressed. Most of the diners were in shirts and nice dresses but that did not make any difference to the service that we recieved. From the time we were shown our table to the last goodbye, service was impecable. Well the food was just as good, if not, better. Once again, i'll let the pictures do the talking.

Appetisers


Carpaccio di Bue: Thin sliced raw beef with arugala, silver parmesan cheese & virgin olive oil
The beef was 'oh so tender' and the olive oil dressing was fresh and aromatic!


Zuppe del Giorno: Tomato soup
Thick tomato soup. Nothing like your cambell one. Slurp!


Sorbetti: Homemade wildberry sorbet
We were wondering why they would serve sorbet as a starter but what the heck.. it was brilliant. Totally melt in your mouth with an explosion of flavours.Emm emm!

Main Course



Suprema di Pollo: Free range chicken breast stuffed with black truffle accompanied by wilted baby spinach laced with red wine prune glaze

Simply gorgeous. The baby spinich was infused with a right amount of red wine glaze so that it does not steal the flavour from both the tender chicken and the crunchy spinich. The truffle was interesting too. I think it's a kind of olive.


Cernia al Asparagi e Funghi: Sea bass fillet on a bed of asparagus and mushroom salsa accompanied by scallion and vegetable salad, lemon butter sauce

I was wondering where the asparagus and mushrooms were. They were actaully cleverly ground and packed tightly together to form a base for the fish. Fantastic! Such creativity!

Dessert


Pannacotta: Almond-infused cook cream with bitter chocolate sause, seasonal berries compote

They sure kept the best for last. Aaron's eyes were either wide open or tightly shut when eating this dessert. Too much for him to take. The sweet cream was heavenly and with the combination of the bitter chocolate and sour berries. Oooooooooooo........


Coffee/Tea

Well, don't need much explanation. However, they had really good coffee as it was blended from fresh coffee beans. Not the usual 3 in 1 type.


Well folks, what can i say. It was Assolutamente Delizioso
