I ordered the Crustacean Rice Bowl as my main from the 3-course weekend dinner set. ($33.90; roasted pumpkin soup as my starter and wild berry pannacotta as dessert).

I was thoroughly impressed with this bowl of carb-filled goodness. Although a little pricier than my usual meals, this one was certainly worth the price.

First look, it doesn't seem like much: A golden-yellow layer of char-grilled cheese topped with three precise scoops of black caviar and a small sprig of chervil each. Simple presentation, but as you start to dig in, you uncover the fragrant rice with honey-ponzu that adds sweet citrusy taste to the mix, butter-poached lobsters that are firm and sweet and the sea urchin cream that adds to the seafood flavour profile.

Mix it all up and you get a buttery, seafood-filled, cheesy, rich bowl of rice with bits of caviar to add that soft burst of salt and oil. Delicious.
