Appetizer: Slow-Cooked Pork Belly with Apple Salsa
Created by Chef Randy Chow, Class of 1986

I was intrigued by the sweet-tart apple salsa and adorn the beautiful succulent moist tender fat meat. However the rice cracker was pretty stale. Maybe it was prepared much earlier before dinner.

Soup: Mushroom Coffee with Cinnamon Roll with Prawn Paste
Created by Chef Eric Teo, Class of 1986

I was blow by the aromatic aroma, creamy, velvety, rich and heady mushroom soup. I felt the coffee taste was gently pleasant and desirable for a non-coffee drinker like me.

Main Course: Souse Vide Chicken Breast in Smoked Oil, Fig Glazed Foie Gras, Caramelised Endive, Manchego Espuma, Thyme Jus
Created by Chef Tony Khoo, Class of 1986

Souse Vide, the latest gastronomic craze, "under vacuum" - a method of cooking in vacuum sealed plastic pouches in a water bath for longer than normal cooking times - 72 hours in some cases. The breast chicken is incredibly moist and tender, making it so moreish. The foie gras was cooked perfectly with a lovely crunchy char on the outside and will be even better it was slightly sweeter.

Dessert: Fondant Au Chocolat
Created by Chef Pang Kok Keong, Class of 1993


The foundant au chocolat was rich and dry. Crusty on the outside, with thick melty chocolate in the center. Thought not as decadent as I expected, but still a lovely combination with their homemade vanilla ice cream and pistachio.

During our tasting, one of the Shatec student did a live demo how a mocktail drink is prepared. Recipe is created by one of the student!
