Since February, the restaurant has collaborated with Green Monday to launch an ala carte plant-based menu that focuses on raising awareness and promoting a sustainable, healthy food future. Featuring a lineup of 10 dishes that caters to diners with dietary preferences from vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free and nut-free, these dishes are created with plant-based meat or dairy alternatives. We were fortunate to sample three of such dishes starting off with the refreshing Burratina ($22) that uses fresh imported burrata from Italy and topped with shio kombu and served with Roma tomatoes and a basil pesto. The shio kombu gives it the savoury profile without the need to use any form of salt or additives. The next two dishes were hearty and comforting and they come in the form of the Orecchiette Pasta ($24) and the Beyond Burger ($29). The former is a cream-based pasta that comes with wild mushrooms and the plant-based produce of Beyond sausage while the latter is constructed with buttered brioche buns sandwiched between a thick grilled Beyond patty and a plant-based cheddar cheese from Daiya Foods, with a spread of a house-made ketchup and topped with caramelized onions. Biting into the Beyond sausages and patty will make you wonder if you are actually eating the real meat as the texture is almost the real McCoy.
