OCEAN RESTAURANT BY CAT CORA...

I'm really lucky to have recently been to dinner at Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora, at Resorts World Sentosa. The restaurant itself is located inside the S.E.A Aquarium where you literally sit next to the glass panel of the tank and discover more than 100,000 marine animals. It is an amazing sensorial experience. It is also a very memorable dining experience. It certainly is enthralling as you sit enjoying your dinner in front of the panoramic tank. 

The restaurant serves Mediterranean-Californian fusion with a distinct Asian twist. The seafood is sustainably-sourced and echoes the Aquariums belief in conservation. They really do care for our oceans and marine life. To learn more about the conservation you can visit the website here http://www.rwsentosa.com/language/en-US/Homepage/Attractions/Conservation

We started the meal off with some small nibbles and bread, before getting stuck into the main courses...

The first of which, Harmony of Sea Life, is so beautifully presented. The shell contains a combination of different seafood and roe. Which of course means a combination of tastes. Herby, minty and refreshing all in one. 

The Sous Vide Scottish Salmon was divine! Each piece was so well presented! This raw salmon was cured in salt and sugar and drizzled with cauliflower milk. There was a subtle hint of horseradish to finish it off. 

I know not many people are fans of this dish, but this Crispy Brick Duck Foie Gras did not disappoint. The topping consisted of ginger candy, cocoa nibs and puffed buckwheat. So delicious! 

The next course Lobster milk, consisted of a lobster wanton swimming in a delicious soup with coriander and mentaiko.

New Zealand Sustainable Fresh Cod Fish with mash...yummy! It does feel rather funny eating so many fish whilst sat in front of so many fish swimming around. Although, I can't complain, this dish was one of my favourites. 

By this point I was starting to get quite full. However, they did save one of the best dishes to last. The Braised-Seared Beef Short Rib and Charred Grilled Wagyu Primecuts were so succulent. I wasn't quite sure how I would be able to fit anymore food in. Until they brought us our dessert...

Finsihing with Chocolate Ends, a greek yoghurt and mango base, with a cocoa nib tuile and topped with tarragon gelato. Such a contrast of flavours, but they worked so well together! By this point, I was well and truly stuffed! 

You don't have to love marine life to love this experience. Everyone who knows me, knows that I'm not the best when it comes to the water and exploring the ocean. But this can be enjoyed by anyone! The glass panels are mesmerising. It's great fun to try and guess what all the animals are... and there are so many to keep you occupied throughout your dinner.
