Great place to dine with a view here- overlooking esplanade and the merloin. They have a weekly rotating lunch menu at forlino with rather extensive options for each course. Love that the chef has this outlet to get creative and come up with new innovative items! :)

First course - Terrina di Fegato Grasso: Foie Gras Terrine, Apple Confit, Marsala Reduction (Supplement $10)
Very delicate, love the combination of the aged reduction and the terrible. Wished I had more of that homemade walnut toast to finish up the terrine!

Second Course - Ventresca di Tonno: Pan-Seared Tuna Belly, Capsicum Peperonata, Sundried Tomatoes, Capers
Rarely take a risk with the fish selection as I am often disappointed but this time, i am glad i went with my guts and took a chance. Was really impressed with the plating here! And boy, they are generous aren’t they? Loved the cook of the tuna belly and that soft yet firm texture. The peperonata and capers worked so well I alternated each segment of tuna with either and at the end succumbed to having it altogether!

Third course - Basilico: Basil Gelato, Cocoa Crumble, Lemon Cream, Italian Meringue
Looks impressive but I got to admit I’m not always a fan of deconstructing a classic like lemon meringue tart. The Basil gelato is a great palate cleanser though. Love that punchy pesto! Would have been better if it was a sorbet! (Just saying)
