| - Ordered 3 apps, 2 mains, 2 desserts for three girls. Came moderately hungry and left super full. About 60-80 a person depending on if you grab a drink or not.
Started the meal with a Garden Cocktail on the house specialties list. I would compare this drink to a martini, as it is quite strong yet very fragrant and refreshing at the same time. The base for the drink is Pisco, a Peruvian liquor distilled from grapes similar to whiskey but not aged in barrels and therefore clear.
For appetizers we got the Tostada Morado which is spicy cubed tuna. I really loved the cilantro crema as it really packed in flavour and is reminiscent of tuna poke.
Got two ceviches on the waitress' recommendation, the trio and the Tiradito Hiramasa. The former contains a mild and creamy one, a fruity and tropical one and a spicy and flavourful one. The latter comes as thin slices on a very earthy sauce. Each slice is garnished with a small dollop of jam that goes fabulously with the fish. This one was a very light but refreshing flavour combo, no doubt Japanese-Inspired.
For mains we got the Cerdo (suckling pig) and Arroz con Setas (mushroom rice). I am more of a 'meat over seafood' person so the Cerdo was my personal favourite. It tasted similar to the Chashu slices you get on ramen but more tender with the bonus texture and flavour of crispy skin. The quinoa under it was also super good. The mushroom rice was a more mild flavour with really delicious fried onions and good backdrop for other mains.
For desert they had a limited-time feature which I don't remember the name of, but I believe it was a whipped goat cheese mousse with a fruity sorbet center and a crispy-crunchy bottom. The dish features Pacay, which is a fruit that tasted similar in texture and flavour to a Mangosteen. I was a huge fan of this mixture of salty and sweet, fruity and rich and crunchy and creamy.
We also got the El Huevo Malo which is the big chocolate ball most diners have already seen in a facebook video. This one was visually stunning but the previous dessert outshone the flavour of this one significantly.
Overall the meal was fantastic, the dishes inventive, the service was top notch and I would probably come again.
