Alma is reopening for dine in! Time to revisit again, and I was told they're keeping their pre-CB menu a little longer.
🔸
I love how their dishes are always very well-rounded. For a vegetarian dish this refreshing, it came with umami undertones and crunchy textures. That's due to layer of celeriac chip beneath the beautiful garnish of white Pentas and Brassica flowers. That chip is made with celaraic and wakame, hijiki and braised konbu in yuzu juice. This is accompanied by crème fraiche ice cream, with freshness and acidity from clarified apple juice.
🔸
The main star here is the celeraic in the first layer, crusted with salt and baked until it forms a light caramelisation in its own jus. It was then finished with celeriac purée, chives and lemon, and celeriac biscuits made from its own roots for that added crunch.

This dish is also available for their lunch menu, with a supplement of $9++ if this dish is chosen from the list of options.
