The Modern Dining Room Take 2!

I came back for dinner with a few friends as there was some celebrations to be had! Apologies for the dimly lited photos as this was a bit hurried.

This 2 Michelin starred place is still as good as ever. It is the perfect place to indulge, especially if you have a seafood preference. They have meat options as well so that satisfies certain individuals who may be allergic! The desserts, which are made in house, creates a perfect end to the evening.

Hint: Hospitality is included so you do not have to tip on top of the total bill.

The Modern Dining Room (MOMA)

Bourbon, Tamarind, Burnt Orange Molasses, Sriracha Bitters
Olive oil, french baguette, cranberry
Radishes and Herbs
Tender Leeks and Frisee Lettuce
Celeriac and Foie Gras
Wafer Streusel and Nutella Ice Cream

Came here for lunch as I had the day off and wanted to do something extravagant! I got seated next to the window which definitely have the nicest views into the courtyard of the MOMA.

From start to finish, the service was impeccable. I was never short on water and the food just kept coming from the tasting menu. I ordered the 4 plates tasting menu and it was wayyy too much food for me but I ate it all anyways! I couldn’t help but keep going!

My favorite dishes was the pumpkin soup, lobster and truffle, and the dessert! The lobster and truffle had the perfect taste of seafood with a bit of a ‘salad’ twist. The dessert, Gianduja Crémeux satisfied my craving for chocolate and the wafel streusel was like eating your favorite chocolate cereal with nutella ice cream.

Try to get a seat next to the window if you can for lunch. You can people watch and eat at the same time!
