I had an exquisite lunch at Gunther’s awhile back with the author of Lovin Greens. Great food, lovely company, and I shall let the pics do (most of) the talking.
The day’s freshest ingredients were wheeled out to tempt us. Say bye-bye to the live Alaskan king crab cuz we had its big fat legs for lunch! Poor thing.
Colourful berries were presented with a flourish as one of the day’s specials.
Gunther’s baguette.
Steamed white asparagus with morel mushrooms and hollandaise sauce ($35++). Love this lots~
Incredibly juicy and sweet Alaskan king crab leg ($115++) that’s jaw-droppingly expensive!
Oven-roasted Blue-eye cod with potato mash, mushrooms ($48++). Though competently done, this was overshadowed by the 2 excellent starters we had prior to this.
Pan fried fine apple tart “a la dragees” ($20++) that’s a tad oily, 2 delicious scoops of Havana rum-raisin ice cream and an assortment of exotic berries ($27++).
Petit Fours for a sweet ending.
Complimentary tiramisu for the birthday girl. Happy birthday, girl! =)
No doubt, this meal is definitely going into my “Top 10 Eats of 2010”!
