An Intercontinental Lunch (Part 2)

I had another great lunch c/o Mansmith and Fielders. Not only did it feed my mind, it sure did the same for my mind.

We had another three-course meal for lunch. For starters, we had carrot soup (with shavings of crispy bacon).

The soup was creamy and the crispy bacon bits added texture. It does not taste like carrot though. Perhaps pumpkin?

Next served was Fillet of Parrot Fish with Parsley Potatoes , Baguio Beans and Ginger sauce. The whole dish is a bit bland for me thus I added pepper and salt to give it more taste… and it worked. With a bit of those two, the whole dish turned to be a lot tastier for me.

For dessert, we had Mango Mousse Cake with Pandan Caramel sauce. I find the sauce a bit too sweet but the cake needs it because the mousse cake lacked taste. I also noticed that the cake was a bit watery. I think it’s because of the jelly on top of the cake. My favorite part though was the chocolate garnish. It is just like the one they used for the cheesecake. It was really good. J

An Intercontinental lunch

I was lucky enough to go to Josiah Go’s Entrepreneurship Strategy and Innovation Bootcamp which was held at the Hotel Intercontinental. I was super excited to attend since this was an opportunity for me to learn more about entrepreneurship. The program was done in a very interactive way. Totally not boring yet packed with so much learning. I felt like I was in MarkProf bootcamp again. Anyway, I promised Joe that I will not write anything about the seminar (though I can’t help promote it) so I will write about our lunch.

We had a three-course meal for lunch (cream asparagus soup, lemon chicken, and mango cheesecake). I wasn’t able to take a picture of the soup since I was too hungry; and when they served it, my first instinct was to slurp every drop of it. >.< I do remember though that the soup was creamy but it did not taste like asparagus. It was a cream soup. But it was still good and it would have been better if they served it warmer.

My angry tummy calmed down after the soup so I managed to take a picture (sorry if I already took a bite) of the lemon chicken. I find it weird though why they called it as such since it didn’t have the tangy taste of lemon at all. It would pass as a chicken teriyaki… a big fat chicken teriyaki. The chicken was well cooked and very soft. It also has a bit of sweet taste (just like chicken teriyaki). Sorry, I was just not convinced.



Lemon Chicken?



The mango cheesecake on the other hand is a great way to please the tummy. The texture of the cheesecake was quite creamy and the crust was not thick and too sweet to overpower the actual cheesecake. (Am I making sense?) I find the mangoes too few though. I understand that the mango bits were intended to be garnish but the cheesecake tastes a lot better with the mango bits. Now I’m craving for Mango Bravo. (Connection?!)

Mango Cheesecake

Verdict: I will go back for more desserts. :) Even the thin strip of chocolate was good.
