My Virgin presence to IronLadyChef’s food event.
And my 1st time gave it to Limon.
7 Purvis Street
Singapore 188586
T: 6333 9004
website: http://www.limon.com.sg
Limon, a few doors away from Miss Clarity Cafe, project themselves to be a good place for friends’ outing & private parties.
A hi-fi set is placed privately on the 3rd floor to cater for 1 big group. Not bad to be able to dance & a lol session.
As for food wise, Limon catered a fusion of Thai & Spanish Cuisine.
Personally, I feel the food is average & it is more prone to Thai food than Spanish food.
We were given sampling portion on 13 different type of dishes.
It’s a great idea to have a sampling portion. In that way, I could try more varieties. =)
Complimentary Black sesame Bread & Shot of Gazapacho Con Vino Blanco
Me & Mr K like the Black sesame bread! We asked for 2nd round of it! So did Amy & Ray- the couple we get to know at the event. It’s goes very well with butter and even better with the tomato thingy. I could not remember what it is called. But my 1st try is made by my Spanish teacher then & am glad to be able to taste it again. Delicious.
Even Mr K, who dun eat tomato, thinks it is good.
P.S: Kid don’t tell lies.
As for the shot glass item, it is traditional spanish cold soup. I don’t really fancy it.
To me, soup is best served hot/warm. And till now, I am not sure what it is made of.
Combos Tapas
1. Champinones con ajo – Sauteed garlic mushroom w lemon sauce
2. Chorizo con curry verde – Spanish Sausage in Thai Green curry sauce
3. Moo Curry – Pork & potato cubes pan-fried w red curry sauce, tomato sauce & red peppers
Mr K like the mushroom while me, I like the sausage. It’s pretty salty but I like the after-taste of it.
Tom Kha Guy -Classic Thai sour & mildly spiced coconut soup w chix meat
Coconut soup?Ohh..I like this! I thought this is one of my favorite. In term of its sourness, it is quite mild.
Together with the sweetness from the coconut and soury taste, it is pretty tasty. However, there’s a lingering feeling in my throat after it and it is needed to be cleared by having some drink.
Mains -Bacalao
Pan fried blue cod fillet dressed in olive oil, black pepper, chopped red & green peppers & white wine tomato base.
Not the best cod fillet I have eaten. Neither is the mashed potato is the best.
1. Gambas al ajillo de moda thai – King prawns cooked w olive oil, lemongrass, garlic, black pepper, nameko mushroom, broccoli & basil leaf garnish
2. Sam Tum – Mango & papaya strips in sour & spicy sauce
3. Garlic fried Spaghetti
I like Sam Tum. =) I even finished Mr K’s one. The 3rd one I guess is similar to aglio olio bahz. But, i feel it is quite bland.
Paella de tom yum con mariscos, setas y brecol
-Spanish paella prepared in Thai tom yum paste w mixed seafood, mushrooms & broccoli
Taste wise, it is not too bad. The good thing is that the ingredient are fresh.
Dessert Combo
1. Flourless Almond Lemon Cake
2. Lemongrass Jello Shot
3. Crema Catalana con frescas – Egg based cream flavored w cinnamon, vanilla and lemon paired w fresh strawberries.
The dessert combo is good!!!! ^_^ The flourless almond lemon cake is nice & spongy. So almond So yummy!
I ate it with some of the Crema Catalana to make it more like a cream cake. hahaha. But just eating the Crema Catalana alone is yummy too! As for the lemongrass jello shot, I feel it is better if coarse sugar is not added.
Overall, I feel it is quite decent.
My impression is that the food served in Limon is more “graceful & light” in taste except that sausage.
The sausage is a little bit more “dramatic”.
With a price of $32nett & able to sample 13 different types of dishes, I feel it is quite worth it.
Well, glad to be able to attend the food event! It’s a good experience!
