798 Unit & Co.

Had a nice dinner with Mr. Lee before he goes to UK again.

The spacey interior of the gastropub. Nice place to meet a friend.

Chocolate Martini
Carried the smell of chocolate and orange. I do not really like the scent of orange but this cocktail was nice.

Clams in cream sauce and herbs, and garlic toast
The clams were fresh and had seawater taste, and the amount was quite generous. Nice dish.

Chilled cucumber soup with avocado and coriander yogurt, served with cumin tiger prawn skewer
It looks too illuminous with the flash light! The combination of cucumber soup and yogurt are refreshing and light, and as a soup / appetizer it did it's job of raising appetite right. However the prawn was tasteless despite the heavy layer of cumin cover.

Ravioli of fire-roasted tomato and basil fava beans, smoked capsicum and mascapone cream
It's a vegetarian choice. The mascapone cheese sauce was a bit thick, but overall the ravioli was a fab. Each of the ingredients are with strong and different characteristics. When they come together in one dish as this ravioli, they get along so well. I especially love the roasted heirloom tomatoes. Sweet and juicy and got some taste of roasting.
Sure I will order this dish again when I visit this gastropub next time.
