The Winning Cuisine's Recipe

Golden Fried Scallops, Edamame, Ginger Foam, Pink Pepper - Shangrila Surabaya

Acara High Tea biasanya cocok untuk kaum wanita, jadi untuk pendamping acara high tea, disediakan pula brosur merangkap buku resep hidangan yang memenangkan award.

Meskipun resepnya cukup lengkap, rasanya bakal cukup sulit untuk bisa meniru beberapa resep di sini, terutama coconut mousse yang saya kutip resepnya di bawah.

This event are catered primarily to ladies, so they also made a cookbook brochure of the dishes which you can get with the menu.

Though the recipe were thoroughly written, I still doubt that many people can replicate the dishes, especially the Coconut Mousse that I post bellow.

Semua hidangan di sini diolah dengan plating yang amat cantik, porsi dan tampilannya mirip dengan menu fine dining. Walau masih kalah cantik kalau dengan Citrus Lee, tapi sempat mengingatkan saya tentang hidangan dari resto tersohor itu.

All the dishes here are plated beautifully, it's portioned and served like a fine dining menu. 

Though still far from the beauties I found in Citrus Lee, it did remind me a bit of my dining experience there, savoring the beautiful french fusion cuisine.
