[西餐] MARKET by Jean-Georges
Tonight a few friends and I tried out the MARKET by Jean-Georges at the Shangri-La Hotel. I've heard first hand about poor service but good food so I went with certain expectations. After dinner, we all consider the service to be quite good, at least on par with other restaurants at similar level. Our reservation was in the early evening. When we arrived, there were already quite a few ppl at the bar around. Later in the night, the main dining area filled up. Almost all the tables are filled. People are quite well dressed: the guys will be in suits and/or shirts and the ladies will be nicely dressed. I guess they're not kidding about the "business casual" attire.
The six of us were seated at a round table so although it is quite noisy, we can still talk.
Ok, the most important thing: the food. See photos:
Photo 1: Sea Urchin Toast Yuzu and Jalapeño
Verdict: Very yummy! The sea urchin is very fresh. There's a citrus sauce and a very thin slice of jalapeno, just enough to give your month a hint of hot. Followed by sweet after taste of sea urchin.
Photo 2: Foie Gras Brule with Dried Sour Cherries White Port Gelee
Verdict: I was recommended this by another foodie friend and I was not disappointed! See next photo...
Photo 3: There's like an inch of foie gras pate thingy...delicious!
Photo 4: Soy Glazed Short Ribs
Apple-Jalapeno Puree
Rosemary Crumbs
Verdict: the short ribs are intact but tender enough that it can be pulled with a fork. The rosemary crumbs are yummy (consider making it for a roast crust!). The white foamy thing was so so. The portion looked small but it turns out to be just right.
Photo 5: top to clockwise): Crème Fraiche Cheesecake with raspberry sorbet and rhubarb sauce, green tea cake with coco ice cream, passion fruit sunflower.
The verdict: They are all very good! What more can I say? ;) The cheesecake is very rich, smooth and flavorful. I savored it in my mouth before swallowing it. The raspberry sorbet is very light and refresh, so it balances the cheesecake very nicely. The green tea cake was all right in comparison but the coco ice-cream...OH SO GOOD! So rich and full of chocolate flavor. The passion fruit sunflower is passion fruit on top of some citrus thing with meringue at the side. It's very light but again full of flavors.
Final verdict: Very reasonably priced (see menu) for very delicious food. Will definitely consider returning (only because there are many other good rest. in Vancouver and I'm poor). There is an "outdoor" patio area that overlook a parking lot so you can eat and watch your car! ^_^ |
