I had a corporate lunch early this week, at this famed 5 star Pan Pacific Hotel at Claymore Road. Mosella is their 5 star international restaurant situated on the ground floor of this grand hotel.
Zucchini Flowers
A great starter dish. It looked like a fish dish and the texture was something like one of the vegetarian dishes from the "Shu" stall at most hawker centres. However, the flavor is hard to beat, there was some sweet and sour truffle taste due to the truffle honey and the pastry is made from the Spanish Manchego Cheese though I have no idea what it tastes in real life. It felt more soya beany than cheesy in texture.
Very good.
Jamon Iberico Ham on Crusts
The Jamon ham was plentiful, overflowing and over 2 thick layers. The aroma is very overpowering for those who are not into their aged and cured hams. The charcoal fired flat breads were crispy and the tomato flavor barely came out on top as the ham was so pungent.
The fans for and against Jamon ham are from both ends of the you love it or hate it. I must say, I didn't hate it and I am not really into this degree of pungency
Hokkaido Scallops Carpacio
This was a lovely surprise. The scallops were small, but the grapefruit and citrus dressing gave it a tangy taste. There were bits of sourdough crotons which I mistook for fish roe :).
Really excellent.
Its a must try dish and I will order it again when I am next at Mosella.
Porcini Mushroom Risotto
Another winner here, the risotto, while a little bit on the mushy side I think it was due to the type of rice used. In this case it was the aged aquerello rice. There was a strong hint if black truffle, just the essence. The parmesan cheese gave this dish the nice cheesy flavor.
Top rated.
