If nothing else, Chef Ivan Brehm's "crossroads cuisine" is certainly experimental and innovative, melding hyperlocal ingredients with European technique and influences from across the globe.

First course proper of the 7 course chef tasting menu can be a tumultous start of the night's culinary journey for some, with its seemingly jarring combination of burrata pugliese and petai leaf half submerged in an earthy oath broth dotted with verdant basil oil. I for one enjoyed the mix of creaminess from the cheese coupled with the sweetness of organic cherry tomatoes, tomatillo and gooseberries(sourced from Hatiku farm in Cameron Highlands) and the milky flavour of the broth. Challenging at times perhaps, but boring? Never.
