I recently attended a 8-hand collaboration at Restaurant Allen. I enjoyed the dinner by the 4 chefs; but I feel to truly understand a chef, one needs a complete meal solely by him or her.
So two days later, I was back at Restaurant Allen. Chef Allen Suh’s French techniques were solid, and his layering of flavours deceptive in their simplicity. The way local ingredients were assimilated into his creations was deliberate yet not contrived. It was impressive.
I love how young chefs these days marry their training in a ‘foreign’ cuisine with their native cultural background. The right balance is vital; and chef Allen does it very well.
Too bad I had to pass on wine pairing for health reasons—I’m sure the experience would have been even better.
I look forward to seeing what’s up Chef’s sleeves next.
