Is it food or art?

The unique floral arrangement that caught my attention...

Potato croquette

Chips and hummus...simply adored that jar and the content within, what a little beauty!

Mushroom tea...flavourful, savoured every sip of it

Smoked eel with apple jelly...exquisite and delicate, one bit of it is enough to bring delight

Organic beetroot composition...refreshing!

Smoked organic egg...too pretty to be eaten and once eaten, you will never ever forget how silky it is

Confit arctic char & shellfish...the little sides seemed more appetising than the fish

Iberian black pork...Goodness, so tender. Ha, we started talking about how these would go well with lotsa rice and gravy - the Chinese style :P

Palate cleanser...mango and lychee sorbet

Choconuts...unique presentation and a dessert that has to be savoured bit by bit

Victorian pineapple...with a dash of black pepper :P

Petit Fours...I felt like a child enthralled by all the little surprises.

The view from our table...such a nice quiet afternoon

I must say that I have brewing myself in a cauldron of busyness at work in the past month, even to the extent of being chided by PY for not pampering myself enough :P Thanks for reminding, my friend :) We have kinda agreed to go in search of nice places for meals every month and that was a meal at Jaan in the month of February...well, I suppose it's a long overdue blog post. The set lunch at Jaan (Swissotel) was filled with sweet and nice little surprises. I was especially fascinated by the presentation of the different dishes and the attention paid to the finest details. Every dish that's served is a piece of art, too lovely to be eaten at times...
