Pandan Panna Cotta With Gula Melaka

Vanilla Ice Cream With Roasted Black Sesame Puree

Clearly, my favourite was the BBQ Char Siew Burger. What's there not to like about a slab of tender meat marinated with a sweet, teriyaki-like sauce? The sponge of foccacia was a delight. There was no gimmickry in this burger. Just simple goodness that could well be prepared at home, provided one gets a hold of the secret sauce. So start selling by the bottle already, Relish! The pear/blue cheese and seafood burgers, though interestingly described, were of an acquired taste. As the name suggested, Ram-Lee was Relish's interpretation of the classic Ramlee burger. The omelette wrap was a true Ramlee spesial, but since it's gourmet, I thought it could have done more with some injection of creativity. Fresh ground beef alone doesn't count. I liked the fusion desserts here. Probably inspired by the onde-onde, the panna cotta was a burst of flavours. Black sesame is an all-time favourite of mine, and when combined with a scope of light vanilla ice cream, was comforting.

To the relished that day - We've been talking about Smok’inn Frogz since forever. In fact, it was that very idea that sparked this outing! So, when ar???

For some reason the pic of the Vanilla Ice Cream with Roasted Black Sesame Puree reminded me of the Mars Landing... Go figure, hehe.

How far have we come! From Ramlee burgers to gourmet burgers! :)

Selba said...

So interesting to read what kind of burger is inside the buns.

I hardly eat "fusion" burger (I think never have) hehehe.. I even haven't tried the MOS burger yet though my Sporean friend brought me to one of the outlet on Orchard road.

Vanilla ice cream is always comforting :)

aiya ... i was hopeful that this would be in KL. or somewhere nearer. good concepts, a little wacky, but the char siew and the beef bacon ones got me sitting up and took notice.

btw, i spied an LX3! :)

minchow said...

Weehee! Charsiew burger- surely someone can replicate this in KL? Restauranteurs, anyone?? I love how they have those Chinese words to reinforce how special the specials really are! And my gosh, my very elementary Chinese literacy actually still works! :-D

I had the pleasure of trying Willin's Pandan Panna Cotta yesterday at Gourmet AbuDhabi - so so so good!!! Super fragrant, slippery-smooth, like a pandan tau foo fa with gula melaka syrup.

HairyBerry said...

gfad, ooooh, nice! I guess by now, the version you must be 2.0 or 10.0 already. An even better panna cotta! *envious* :)
