I
don't
always
get
the
opportunity
to
experience
fine
dining
but
this
is
a
long
review
coming
from
a
local
who
has
a
minimal
grasp
of
general
fine
dining,
so
please
take
it
with
a
grain
of
salt!
This
is
a
very
leisurely-paced
dining
experience,
I'm
talking
about
11am
to
3pm!
Eating
here
is
not
for
the
quick-hearted
consumers,
this
is
for
the
unhurried
conversational
food
lovers.
So
make
sure
to
manage
your
expectations
and
reserve
almost
the
entire
afternoon
for
the
full
experience.
Best
go
with
great
company,
preferably
a
nature-loving
group
you
can
converse
with
in-between!
The
glass
house
is
spacious
and
peaceful
inside-out.
You
are
greeted
with
a
full
display
of
various
orchids
and
live
indoor
plants,
and
a
clear
view
of
a
pine-filled
backyard
(with
occasional
visits
of
the
free-roaming
hen
and
her
cute
chicks)
overlooking
a
splendid
view
of
the
neighboring
mountains.
This
is
the
time
to
brush
up
on
table
étiquette
and
get
familiar
with
the
formal
dinnerware
placements
because
there
will
be
more
than
a
set
of
spoon,
fork,
and
knife
in
front
of
you!
We
were
served
a
full
course
meal
of
7
delicious
dishes,
the
French
way--
slowly.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
they
served:
l'apéritif,
hors
d'œuvre,
amuse-bouche,
main
course,
cheese,
palate
cleanser
salad,
mignardise/dessert.
Food
serving
size
is
mindfully
portioned
to
accommodate
the
entire
7-course
meal!
It's
actually
excellent
if
you
see
it
in
full
picture,
because
the
next
dish
won't
be
served
until
you
finish
the
first,
so
please
do
not
expect
servings
larger
than
a
handful!
Taste-wise
I'd
rate
this
a
9/10!
Almost
perfect!
The
dishes
are
exquisitely
delicious,
looks
elegant,
and
are
comfortably
sophisticated
but
never
intimidating!
I
particularly
loved
majority
of
the
dishes
(5/7).
To
give
you
an
idea
of
what
kind
of
dishes
are
served,
here
are
my
top
5
dishes
that
stood
out
for
me
the
most
(in
the
order
of
serving):
🍇
l'apéritif:
camembert
and
brie
honey
cheese
dip
in
bread
bowl
☕
hors
d'œuvre:
the
mushroom
cappuccino
soup
with
ginger
foam
🐟
fish/amuse-bouche:
deconstructed
baked
salmon
with
an
assortment
of
confits
and
roasted
veggies
🍝
pasta/cheese
dish:
the
milanese
white
sauce
mushroom
and
asparagus
pasta
🥗
salad/palate
cleanser:
the
lettuce
mint
and
sprouts
salad
with
dates,
oranges,
and
candied
almonds.
The
only
fallback
for
me
is
the
main
dish.
I
was
the
only
pescatarian
so
my
main
dish
felt
simple
compared
to
the
rest.
It
could
be
more
complex
or
creative
but
still
tasted
good
because
it
was
crispy
cornflake
sugpo
with
pomelo
salad,
which
I
liked!
Additionally,
the
chocolate
ganash
beignet
with
vanilla
ice
cream
dessert
would've
been
perfect!
I
just
found
the
sugar
overcoat
a
tad
of
an
overkill
so
it
ranked
6th
out
of
the
7
dishes.
Tbh,
I'm
very
privileged
to
have
been
invited
to
a
wonderful
fine
dining
experience.
For
that
I
am
beyond
grateful
to
know
there
is
a
place
like
Mama's
Table
to
gather
with
good
friends.
I'm
also
very
happy
with
the
availability
of
alternatives/options
here
especially
for
those
with
food
restrictions/allergies/preferences.
(I
really
love
the
range
of
food
options.
We
need
more
of
these
bespoke
and
inclusive
experiences
in
the
city.)
Just
make
sure
to
inform
Chef
ahead
of
time
for
them
to
prepare
the
ingredients!
Though
serving
time
is
spaciously
paced,
I
actually
like
this
setup
because
the
food
is
served
FRESH
where
each
dish
is
prepared
long
enough
for
you
to
talk
about
what's
been
served
infront
of
you
(also,
because
Chef
Vicky
doesn't
like
to
be
hurried
so
be
patient
and
the
food
will
come
hot
and
delicious)!
My
overall
dining
experience
here
is
definitely
one
for
the
books!
I
loved
it
so
much
that
I'm
still
not
over
it--
the
memories
at
Mama's
Table
stay
with
you
for
a
few
days.
The
aftertaste
feels
vibrant
and
sobering
that
I
was
empowered
to
share
this
magnificent
experience
as
a
way
to
let
it
all
sink
in
and
a
way
to
truly
express
my
appreciation
for
the
craft
and
the
people
who
made
it
all
possible.
Will
recommend
this
place
to
my
family,
working
friends,
and
to
my
relatives
from
overseas!
