FOOD: Adding to its strikingly impressive setting is a delightful menu that ranges from French, Italian to Thai dishes, delicately crafted by executive chef Charoen Wongputhorn. Among the eatery's signature creations for starters is pumpkin soup, served in a generous portion; probably best to share between two people. New Zealand mussels smothered with tomato sauce proves to be a creation of absolute delight, a tribute to the skill of the chef. The mussels are extraordinarily fresh and complement the slightly tangy and aromatic sauce excellently. For mains, one dish not to be missed is pan-grilled rack of lamb served with blanched zucchini. Grilled Australian tenderloin served with foie gras and steamed spinach is another must-try. The meat is beautifully tender and scented with butter and the foie gras is perfectly crispy on the outside but smooth on the inside. Then finish off with guanaja chocolate fondant and pistachio ice cream.
