Caro and I had a little girlie night tonight at One-O-One which was a perfect venue since Caro loves seafood and my experience at One-O-One last year with Sandra was pretty good. Our meal started off with an amuse bouche which actually hadn’t changed from last year (it was a mixed cerviche of tuna and salmon, with cous cous, avocado and crunchy bits. It was, once again, pretty tasty!

For starters I was so jealous of Sandra’s King Crab legs from our last meal that I had to have it this time again. Though I did opt for the legs warmed with Sweet Chilli-Ginger Sauce and it was absolutely divine. The crab was perfectly delicate and the sauce was a perfect accompaniment. Caro decided she wanted a to experience the Smoked Salmon with Crispy Braised Pork Belly Parsley Crushed Potato and Caper Butter, Balsamic Jelly. How cute was the presentation!

For our mains neither of us wanted to be jealous of the other’s dish so it was Seared Lobster Tail and Honey Glazed Veal Sweetbread, Saffron Carrot Compote, Citrus and Vanilla Emulsion for both of us. The dish was a spectacular fusion of colour but taste-wise it was the sesame seeds in the veal sweetbread that really made this dish.

Surprisingly we were both too full for dessert! Its probably the first time in a while I haven’t done the full three courses …

We had a lovely evening and I’m pleased that One-O-One delivered once again on its quality of food, service and atmosphere. I do wonder, however, how often they update their menu? I’ll have to wait awhile before I come again … though I wouldn’t at all be unhappy to re-experience what I had tonight. Mmmm …
