As for the appetisers at Bar Cicheti, the one that hogs the podium for me is the Braised Beef Tongue crostini with the tuna salsa and onion marmalade ($18++). However, the Beef Brisket Meatballs shown above ($15++) is a close second.
The handmade balls are large and unbelievably soft, and come in a tangy, lusciously thick tomato sauce. Thoughtfully served alongside to mop up every bit of that are a few pieces of housemade focaccia spread with a lemon-scented gremolata. When the flavours unite in the mouth, it’s simply incredible.
