Light lunch at Petrus

on 13 Nov 2024

by Peter Chang

We asked Chef Uwe not to kill us with too much food, and he obliged. A "light" lunch with just 3 savory courses.

Lots of mushrooms for the season, and that beautiful pie + loin with sika deer.

Soufflé with truffles shaved on top was a nice way to finish.

Dinner at Restaurant Petrus at Island Shangri-La

Back at @restaurant_petrus for another dose of @uweo ‘s clean modern classical cuisine . Complimented by one of the best by the glass wine lists in town , it’s a great venue to revisit again and again ….

Mackerel from Fukuoka was lightly cured and paired with a herbaceous cucumber jelly , zucchini stuffed with mascarpone and a light Parmesan foam .

Mackerel from Fukuoka was lightly cured and paired with a herbaceous cucumber jelly , zucchini stuffed with mascarpone and a light Parmesan foam .

Foie gras was melded into the shape of Dekapon and the sphere was stuffed with a perfect amount of Dekapon jam. Heston Blumenthal made this presentation famous , but for me this version was superior , the “fruit” both appeared more life like and the flavour was lighter and cleaner .

Lobster medallions and lobster ravioli were matched with a Vin Jaune sauce and a duo of caviar / fish roe , the lobster was terrific , the sauce and caviar perhaps a little high in salt . The young green peas that floated in the sauce added some sweetness.

Pork Belly from Spain was crisp and yielding , with the classical pairing of apple , mashed potato and also Celtuce . Great comfort food dish very well executed .

A strawberry sponge dessert was certainly not simple . The sponge was bruleed , crusted with pistachios and stuffed with both strawberry cream and jam . On top a quenelle of terrific strawberry ice cream , love the texture of fine dining ice cream so much softer than even the best ice cream shops . Less

Long lunch at Petrus

Top list

on 22 Feb 2024

A long-overdue return to see Uwe with a good friend. We were served 8 courses for lunch, which was definitely way too much.

Every single course was delicious. I felt this meal was a level above "the usual". The morel stuffed with beef was particularly moreish.

Dinner at Restaurant Petrus at Island Shangri-La

on 31 Jan 2024

by Peter Verey

Protein forward dishes with few garnishes , focusing on quality of product and excellence of execution . Nowhere to hide with the winter menu from @uweo at @restaurant_petrus !

Black Truffle / Frog Leg / Snail - A lovely starter that looks richer than it is on the palate with the celeriac and cauliflower puree providing a nice blank canvas for the pond of snails and frog .

Maison Kaviari / Initial Egg / Cauliflower - Egg and eggs , fine dining comfort food .

King Crab... More

Maison Kaviari / Initial Egg / Cauliflower - Egg and eggs , fine dining comfort food .

King Crab Norway / Thermidor / Croissant - Crab encased in croissant dough , do feel the crab gets a little lost in there ..

Langoustine Norway / Swiss Chard / Crustacean just - disarmingly straight forward , beautifully cooked .

King Crab Norway / Crab Leg / Seaweed butter - the butter melts in front of your eyes , the crab leg is saline sweet perfection .

Sika Deer Rhug Estate / Loin / Juniper Berry- the venison loin is as prescribed , but the cabbage garnish may steal the show .

Duck/ Plum / Lavender Sauce - best dish of the night , the duck breast is cooked brilliantly , the duck legs are stuffed and rolled in cabbage and the plum and sauce provide a luxurious contrast

Chestnut Tart / Mandarin / Meringue - love chestnut flavours and the brown butter tart shell was outstanding. Less

Dinner at Petrus

on 17 Jan 2023

by Peter Chang

Another attempt by Uwe to kill me with food, and I had lots of friends to help.

A fantastic foie gras saint honoré to kick off dinner, with a wonderful potato and truffle dish to follow. The lobster baked into a long and crispy croissant was nice, too.

The French lamb was really, really good.

Dinner at Petrus

Another nice dinner with dishes from Ricardo Chaneton - who used to work for Mauro Colagreco. This time a couple of dishes didn't quite work for me, but overall still a really delicious meal.

Birthday dinner

on 26 Jun 2017

by Peter Chang

A birthday dinner with a custom menu from chef Ricardo. Lots of interesting dishes with influences from Asia added to the French base. The oyster in cucumber and Granny Smith jelly and the calamari ramen were particularly good.
