| - I see food in a different light after having eaten at Ursa. If you are a foodie, you would love this place. I can tell you that the Chef put a lot of thought into designing each dish. Every course came out like a piece of art. Just beautiful. So, Ursa teaches you how to look and appreciate each foods that you don't normally see in the supermarkets and bring them to life. It really is "food art," that is, the dishes they create were thoughtfully executed with precision as to what types of foods were to pair with which, so the melodies of flavours would play off of one another nicely.
A small tip from me: go in with an intellectual mind and not a hungry stomach. Portions are tiny, but that is not the mere point here. I think the Chef wants us to take a little moment and savour in small bites, close our eyes, taste the different textures and flavours marrying one another in your mouth - ooh, and they do it sooooo well.
Definitely, I would titled this experience, "My Love Affair with Ursa." Culinary delights at its finest.
So, in the end, why a four star and not a perfect five? I can't say I am in love with ALL the dishes that they've created. Maybe I am just not a daring cookie. Some flavours, I find, didn't really go too well with one another and I feel like it's just being used as a garnish, because well... it makes the dish looks more appealing, visually. lolz. I am still a Traditionalist at heart, when it comes to food and maybe that prevented it from me giving it a perfect five.
