Scallop with Pasta, Black Roe and Sour Cream

Salmon Tataki was one of the few dishes that took the center stage, it struck our palates with a robust flavors- briny pops of Roe, appetizing Vinagirette, and seafood sweetness from the Salmon. The Egg Royal added another layer of dimension to the dish- velvety smooth and eggy. Do not judge a book by its cover, the Skagen may seem unpromising or deceptively simple, it surprises us with the utmost sweet-tasting shrimp uniquely to the nearby region of Norway. Diners were thrilled with the presentation of Chef Markus's ingenious creation- Scallop with Pasta, Black Roe and Sour Cream; beautifully cooked angel hair pasta served with Roe and Sour Cream topped with a voluptuous Scallop. It shared some similarities with Carbonara yet different in its own way.
