Le petit Chef dinner

 

I had the chance to book a slot at Grant hyatt for the Le peti Chef experience. I say experience because that what it exactly was. Food theater if you can call it that.

We chose the premium menu.. although I think you can opt for the classic one too (P5800). The animation is the same, the difference between menus is the soup and the grade of steak, (all others are the same)

A host came out to introduce the whole set up… hew reminded me of the engineer from Ms. Saigon. LOL.

We were seated with another couple and they commented that it felt like a double date. Hahaha

This started us chatting with them the whole night.

First course: Italian burrata

This burrata with arugula, balsamic vinegar , some pink grapefruit and mandarin oranges. It was light and I enjoyed it. (8:30 seating and hubby was ravenous)

Second course: lobster bouillabaisse

The animation was great… I am just disappointed I don’t get to upload it here on the blog. It had sea bass, avruga caviar, scallops and mussels. Balance flavor throughout. Classic French soup.

Third course: Smocked chicken foie gras ballotine

The foie gras was in the middle with the smoke chicken surrounding it. For me, this was just ok. Couldn’t really taste a lot of the foie gras. Hubby by this time was still hungry. First two courses didn’t do it for him.

Main course: Char grilled Australian Wagyu Beef tenderloin (marble score 6++)

This was really hearty and we asked for medium doneness - it was cooked perfectly!. The carrots were so cute. The sauce complemented the beef really well. Gave hubby some of mine since I got full already.

Sweet treat: mascarpone, crème brulee

 It has berry compote in the middle and rice pudding on the bottom. Of course the crème brûlée I loved.

Dessert: Royal Baked Alaska 

22k gold foil , Italian meringue, chocolate balls and chocolate and vanilla ice cream in the middle. I couldn’t finish this one since I was too full already. Taste wise, I liked the chocolate balls. This dessert was just ok for me. ( my seatmate finished hers )

Overall, it was a nice experience and a nice night of conversation with some new friends. (Our seatmates) Although the 8:30 seating (they have a 6pm earlier one) was a bit late for us and we finished nearly at 11pm. I  haven’t had a heavy meal at that late an hour for a long time since we have dinner at 6pm and sleep by 9pm! So it was a full late night for this oldie!!!

Some things to note: they have a choice of free flow wine (one choice of red and one white which you can consume throughout the meal priced at 1200/ person) this is worth it if you can DRINK. For me, I am not good with holding my alcohol. 

Also, the offer water (Perrier) with charges. I got embarrassed to ask if that have tap water - Sosy yun seatmate ko, kakahiya. LOL tinipid ko na lang inom ko ng tubig. Hahaha

If you want to experience this kahit once, worth it naman. It’s like the dinner in the sky., I’ll upload some videos of the dinner in my facebook. 

Let me know if you tried this and what you thought.
