Restaurant Session (in Hamont, Belgium): Food Emotions

So nice to be back at restaurant Food Emotions, from chef Mark Bonneu!! They renovated the restaurant, also adding a big terrace to the back.

 

Enjoying the nice weather and...

 

...sitting outside. Very nice terrace!

 

 

Aperitif time! For me, a Jamaica Geuze with rum, lemon and pineapple. Very refreshing!

For Roger (the designated driver ;-) ), the mocktail Rabarberlicous with lavender and lemon.

As amuse bouche, artichoke with cheese and truffles, and sea food cappuccino. Very nice!

Bread and butter. 

Time for a quick visit to Rosvita.

 

Hello, Rosvita :-)

 

As first starter, langoustine, green asparagus, sweet onion and a chip made of fry chicken skin. Delicious!

[Langoustine, groene asperge, zoete ui, krokant von kippenhuid]

Cheers! I changed to wine...

 

...Roger stayed with the mocktails - Happy Berry, with strawberries, cinnamon and mint.

As second dish, asparagus, burrata, rosemary, orange and almonds. It came under a smoking cloche, and the flavours were fantastic! Loved it!

[Asperge, burrata, rozemarijn, sinaasappel, amandel]

With the second dish, a glass of 2018 La Ola del Melillero from Victoria Ordonez and Hijos.

 

As third dish, pork belly, aubergine, pak choi and hoi sin sauce. Excellent!

[Traag geggard buikspek, aubergine, paksoi, hol sin]

 

As fourth dish, foie gras, rhubarb, vanilla and elderflower.

Sweet time: red fruits and basil ice cream. What a great combination!

 

To end an excellent lunch, espresso macchiato and mini chocolate cake. Always a joy to be back to this great restaurant!
