Wood Restaurant & Bar (04 Oct 08)

I was invited to dine at Wood Restaurant & Bar for the launch of La Mer Hydrating Infusion. This being my first visit to Wood, I was quite impressed with the set-up and ambience for the product launch. As we were early, the service staff was ready to serve us choice of cold drinks while waiting for other guests to arrive.












Efforts were made to customise the table mat with La Mer Logo. The handles of the cutlery were customised to resemble bark rings or branches.




I enjoyed the Foccacia Bread with its tinge of herbs and salt. It was delicious. The starter was Salmon Carpaccio with veg terrine. The salmon has a tinge of smoky taste but the veg was bitter. Too much pesticides??

Soup was Wild Mushroom and the mushroom was finely blended.



There were 3 choices of main - Cedar plank roasted salmon, shitake and enoki truffle crust or Grilled Sakura chicken with lemongrass, shallots and parsley or Chilled soba noodles with condiments.


My choice of main was the roasted salmon, which was served on a cedar plank. The crust was strong with mushroom flavor, which was tasty and I could taste the different mushrooms used.




Though the salmon may looked dry on the outside, but it was moist, juicy and tender on the inside.







Dessert was Lychee and mint granite with framboise jelly. It was refreshing and pleasant on the taste buds. The granite was actually crushed ice. :)
