Dedicated to her Majesty's Secret Service

Warm Madelines, crisp edges lovingly enveloping the pliable centre, in harmony with a perfectly brewed Darjeeling as we bask in the exquisite afterglow of a near perfect celebratory lunch. The tasting menu at Foliage in unison with a couple of bottles of a smooth Pinto Gris; A triumph of good over evil, an opus to weep over.... Abu Ben Adam, for this, I will sin... over and over again. So easy to make a woman beg......
Velvety salmon sashimi lovingly wrapped in a yuzu jelly, the creation melting in the lushness of your mouth.
A perfectly silly amuse bouche of apple soup tinged with celery
Another sublime memory triggered as my tongue exults over the sleek taste of squid ink soaked orzo, seared scallops duelling with the fragrance of Thai sauce
The triumph of matter over mind as pain d'epice flirts with hazelnuts, celery shoots, apply jelly and sinfully silky foie
Crisp and succulent sea bass teasing the pumpkin and ruby endive even as the little jelly cubes of chorizo make you blush
A sliver of smoked potato, like an artists' muse, toying with the composition of medium rare, red wine and watercress
Demurely drowning lime sorbet in an earl grey soup, clings to my palate like a familiar lover
Opulent Sacher torte with bitter chocolate sauce, makes me mellow about the peanut parfait that evokes memories of a mars bar
A necessary counterpoint to ward off the evil eye and utterly ruin a sophisticated moment.... चाह आईला तर बिस्कुट बापाला
