I tried out the 4th Avenue Cafe @ the International Hotel during The Big Taste. There was 3 course fixe-prixe menu only during The Big Taste event. The menu was prepared with a South-East Asian flair. Reminds me of home....
First course was Lobster Bisque - delicious and smooth.
Second course was a choice of Chicken Wings in a fish sacue or Papaya Salad with Panko Crusted Prawns - I chose the Papaya Salad - Quite a light lunch with a nicely tossed salad of grated carrots, cilantro, grated jicama, grated cucumbers in a nice sweet vinagrette with lots of crunchy chunky peanuts. Found the peanuts a little too chunky. The prawns were nicely done. My friend had the chicken wings and it was battered with a sesame oil and fish sace poured on top of the wings so it's a little sticky. Also good!
Third course - Mango Cake with a dollop of Taro (Ube) icecream and a Pandan Cigar. The Pandan Cigar is a little roll-up of wafer made with pandan or the essence of screwpine leaves. That brought me back to home...
Other than The Big Taste event, I could see other people eating from the Cafe's Menu and it had a lot of variety like burgers and fries, sandwiches, soups, stir-fry on rice.
