Naiseeee!

Creamy semi-custard semi-liquid concoction of what I think contains egg, truffle and cream. So so delicious we were scraping the last bits off the shell, almost devouring the shell itself.

Super loved these scallops in a cone. How cute that they came in a pile of grains that lowses us tried to nibble on (lol). The attention to detail they put even into the amuse bouche is truly commendable.

First time trying the skate fish, which was firm and non-oily. By this time we were pretty full and mindblown by the previous dishes that this stopped making any more impressions on us.

Would you pay the same price for an egg if you could have a meat dish instead? I would for Buona Terra's perfectly oozy sous vide egg blanketed in truffle. Foodgasm on a plate is what I'd call this.

One of the most memorable dishes that evening. Given my lack of experience with Scampi, I must say... I think buona terra has given me a false impression that scampis are the tastiest juiciest and sweetest of the crustaceans. Loved the scampi sauce that was like essence of brine and sea.

Very refined steak that came so perfectly seared they were uniformly brown on the outside and pink and tender on the inside.

Not the most glamorous dish for an otherwise very glamorous dinner. Can't tell which finger that was as the others seem to be missing. Though I prefer the starters and pastas to the meats, no regrets having this because it was really special.

Uni with uni sauce pasta. Although one can barely see any sauce (it's a little translucent), its a uni party in your mouth. A must-try for uni lovers.

Descriptions by memory, because as delicious as everything was, i woke up post-food-coma with amnesia and can't remember what exactly each dish was. But I do recall this was one of my (many) favouritesss. Al-dente pasta with saffron sauce, which came with generous shavings of truffle.
