The fresh prawns with Mexican dressing was nice though it don't quite have a Mexican taste. Truffle and foie gras tasted great. My first for truffle as I understand that they cost a bomb. I don't quite fancy foie gras - a French delicacy (it is goose liver guys) cos it taste somewhat like peanut butter. But the broth was excellent. Barramundi, a great fish from Down Under done very crispy with the freshness beneath the crunch. Chicken in a roll was fantastic. The ramen soaking up the heavenly consomme with plump Hokkiado scallops was simply a winner.
The dessert was an anti climax, with the lingering tastes of the five courses, the finale was a let down. A strong ginseng cold dessert.
It was pure fusion - a splendid intermingle of Mexican, French, Australian and Japanese with Chinese influence.
In short, the meal was heavenly.
It would had been out of this world if you were there.

Black Truffle: "The diamond of the Kitchen". The flavor of black truffles is more refined than their white cousins. It is reminiscent of fresh earth, mushrooms, and when fresh, their scent fills a room almost instantly.
Foie Gras: Foie gras [fwa gua] (French for "fat liver") is the fattened liver of a duck or goose that has been overfed. Along with truffles, foie gras is considered one of the greatest delicacies in French cuisine. It is very rich and buttery, with a delicate flavor unlike regular duck or goose liver.
Barramundi: The fish's white flesh is delicate, mild-flavoured, and relatively boneless, making it a popular (and sometimes expensive) food which can be prepared in many ways.
Hokkiado Scallops: The Japanese Hokkaido Scallops are extremely flavorful, all wild and natural. These scallops earned the rare "Sushi grade" from the world's best restaurants.
