Oenotheque by Wine Universe @ Millennia Walk

Next item on the Palate list - Oenotheque by Wine Universe, at Millennia Walk. Wine Universe (located just one store away) is a wine retailer and brokerage in Switzerland.


Omelette de Crabe et saumon, $22
A very refreshing starter. It was a medley of cold crab and salmon stuffed omelette, with avocado puree, creme fraiche and avruga caviar. 


Soupe du Chalet de Gruyere, $14
Traditional Swiss soup with cold cuts, herbs, and gruyere cheese. We haven't tried Swiss soup before, so this was quite a welcome change.


Risotta au safran et son demi-homard frals, $40
Lobster risotto with mascarpone, baby spinach and parmesan shavings. The lobster was quite large, and it was cooked just right. The lobster meat was not too tough (I find lobster meat to be more tough compared to prawns and crayfish) and tasted succulent. The risotto was not too rich and good enough on its own too.


Joues de porc Korobuta en cuisson lente, $34
Kurobuta pork cheeks that were "twice cooked" with butternut puree, baby vegetables, and port wine sauce. This was good too! The pork cheeks were laced with just a bit of fat... enough to make me eat all of it without too much guilt. And the best parts were the areas which were slightly burnt and crispy.


Oenotheque is a treasure find within the Palate list of restaurants. One could tell that the chef has experience and uses good quality ingredients too. Definitely going to visit this place again.
