Basil and lime chocolate pate, pomegranate gelato, seeds and coulis, flourless chocolate cake with lime syrup.

One of our back servers helped me take picture tonight so I’ll show the building of the plate.

I fussed too much and the quenelle starting melting :(

This is the latest dessert I put on the menu. It is the dessert course on the tasting menu as well as an a la carte item.

The servers make the mango sorbet table-side with liquid nitrogen. The dish consists of mango sorbet, black sesame microwave cake, coconut powder, thai basil, and chia seeds.

Close up shot of the microwave cake, I love the textual look that microwave gives and the freshness of serving it a la minute. I used an El Bulli recipe this time.
