Some habits never die they say. I have long been a fan of Harvest and this season’s menu did not disappoint. Harvest Espresso has now set gone into its winter phase which captures the best produce in season and I am once again sold. It looks good, taste good and eats right. Their tarts are still top notch and its ever growing inventory shouts creativity.
In my last visit, I ordered the Cauliflower and Corn fritter, fresh zucchini & herb salad & sumac labneh.
The cauliflower is a winter gem. Put it in the hands of Harvest Espresso’s chef and you have the perfect match. These more-ish fritters were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Just my sort of thing. The acidity of the zucchini and herb salad was appetizingly good. With the sumac labneh which is a yoghurt based concoction, it was just yum! For me, I loved all the flavors on the plate. If I had to retract an ingredient, it would definitely be the source of protein which were the eggs. Gooey yolks is a beautiful thing but in this dish it toned down the strong bold flavors (acidity) of the labneh which is not quite my preference. Also, with that extra drizzle of oil around the place the dish felt a little oily towards the end! Nonetheless, it was still very delectable!
The little darling ordered a dish that typically represented her. The French toast, poached pear, mascarpone and almond flakes with maple syrup. Best part of the dish was that it taste as good as it looked!
For starters, they used a brioche which was just perfect to soak all the syrup! It came out warm and felt like a good hearty replacement for a winter soup. The pear was poached just right although it could go 1 notch softer which still did not present a problem. Also, do not look down on this dish as it is actually pretty big! She could not finish and so I took over. With such delicious offerings, I could not bear to see it go to waste.
Another great seasonal menu by Harvest Espresso. I cannot wait to see what magic they conjure the next season. Nothing less than splendid I would expect :)!
