It
is
always
great
to
catch
up
with
chefs
that
one
has
known
for
many
years!
Lino,
who
headed
Gattopardo
in
Singapore,
has
always
been
one
of
my
favourite
Italian
Chefs,
of
Sicilian
Background
one
knows
immediately
his
affinity
to
great
seafood,
although
I
always
loved
his
Pasta
Dishes!
So
we
made
it
a
point
to
have
our
only
Dinner
(during
this
trip)
at
a
Restaurant
at
Olio,
Kensington!
Itโs
such
a
lovely
place,
and
although
it
rained
(a
rarity
during
our
trip)
it
gave
this
evening
a
somehow
romantic
feel!
Sharing
a
bottle
of
2018,
Satien,
Franciarcota,
the
evening
started
truly
on
a
Hi!
After
the
ubiquitous
Amuse
Bouche,
Oyster
with
caviar.
We
were
treated
to
a
wonderful
Tuna
Tartar
in
a
super
light
pastry
shell!
Yummy
As
we
did
sharing
the
first
course
consisted
of
a
King
Fish
Carpaccio
with
amazing
Olive
Oil
and
Pomegranate,
as
well
as
a
superb
Beef
Carpaccio
which
was
superbly
delightful!
What
impressed
us
was
the
use
of
earthenware,
as
it
gave
us
a
real
classical
Italian
feel
&
experience!
Next
we
enjoyed
some
Pasta,
myself
the
excellent
Truffle
laced
version
while
the
boss
had
a
wonderful
squid
ink
celebration,
very
light,
very
flavourful
,
very
gratifying!
As
my
lady
was
starting
to
fill
up
by
now,
we
did
the
Swordfish
with
Broccolini
as
a
share
as
well,
perfectly
cooked
and
seasoned,
loved
the
nutty
brown
butter!
The
main
was
a
most
perfectly
cooked
beef,
flavourful
and
tender,
a
great
sauce
and
some
Topinambur,
or
as
it
is
also
known
Jerusalem
Artichoke!
A
perfect
ending
to
a
great
meal,
excellent
service
and
most
professional
hospitality!
Thank
you
Lino
&
Team!
