𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔉𝔯𝔢𝔫𝔠𝔥 𝔏𝔞𝔲𝔫𝔡𝔯𝔶 𝔭𝔞𝔯𝔱 2 I can finally check it off on my bucket list! I visited @_tfl_ , a three Michelin starred French restaurant in Yountville helmed by the internationally renowned chef, Thomas Keller. It’s an iconic destination that @anthonybourdain once called “the best restaurant in the world, period.” @chefthomaskeller opened the restaurant in 1994 and has maintained three Michelin stars since 2007. The restaurant is located on a historic stone cottage lot, and originally purchased in 1907 by Madeline Lande for a steam laundry, hence the restaurant’s name. The @_tfl_ is open for dinner daily from 4:00 pm to 8:15 pm. Two prix-fixe nine-course menus - Chef’s tasting and Tasting of Vegetables for $350 per person. My meal starts with three amuse-bouches: a crisp smoked salmon tartare cornet coated in everything seasoning paired with a glass of 🍾, 🧀 crackers and Hen 🥚 custard with a Ragout of Périgord Truffle. The French cuisine are made with California produce sourced carefully by @chefthomaskeller , including from his own culinary garden. My favorite dish of the night was their classic “Oysters & Pearls.” This dish combines 'sabayon' of pearl tapioca with @islandcreekoysters and @regiisova white sturgeon caviar. The rich and buttery sabayon sauce worked harmoniously with the buttery 🦪and the smooth and nutty flavor of the caviar. The flavors resonated in multiple stages. There were also two supplemental dishes on the menu, and we picked the black truffle and ricotta “agnolotti.” This dish combines 🧀 rind “consommé” and shaved Australian Black Winter truffles. The impeccable cream sauce topped with shaved aromatic black truffles was seriously heavenly. For the rest of the items on the menu, I posted in my story. Finally, a meal cannot be finished without a tour of the kitchen. @_tfl_ is the cradle of chefs. Without @chefthomaskeller , we would not have @nomacph , @alinearestaurant , @clee_benu nor @vespertine.la . This is a place definitely worth your visit. 🙇🏼‍♀️| #hangrydiarytravel 🍷 2005 Jacky Truchot Bourgogne Rouge 🇫🇷 @_tfl_ 📍 6640 Washington St, Yountville, CA 94599 🍽 Tasting menu 8.8.2021 💲350 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Because @spagosingapore, in @iamjaynedoe and my opinion, offers the whole shebang! Flawless service, lovely ambience (just check out our group shot at the end of my video) and most importantly, very delicious food - this place is the real deal. God knows why they don’t have a MICHELIN Star yet (like @dineshb said: #justiceforspago), but frankly, where I choose to spend my money at, is the biggest indicator of how much I prize a restaurant. And I return repeatedly to Spago all year round 😊 Our annual party never not begins at the #SpagoLounge with cocktails. Enormous in size and alcoholic kick, I am buzzed mere sips in. Ordinarily, cocktails aren’t my thing but I can never resist the call of the signature “Rough Love” or “Love You Long Time” ($27 each). Oh, and thanks to @nigelheng, we discovered how damn nice “Damaged Goods” is ($27). There was no need for menus in the Dining Room because as usual, we left it to Executive Chef @gregabess and his team to feed us. Best way to go, in my opinion. That’s how we ended up with these: 1. Snacks: Besides the Wolfgang Puck’s iconic Tuna Tartare Miso Cones, we had a one-bite wondrousness of beef tartare, uni and gold-dressed caviar on a curl of crunchy beef tendon puff (it’s been my favourite snack for a while). 2. Breads - All of us should be awarded a prize for self-restraint in not finishing the assortment. The warm cheese bun with its mochi-like texture though - we couldn’t resist. 3. Lobster Salad - The classic Waldorf Salad got a Japanese twist, plus chunks of yummily-dressed lobster. 4. Amela Tomato Soup - Hand on my heart, the best tomato soup I’ve ever had, and that night’s was extraordinary as it’s the peak of the season for the produce. Also worthy of worship, the whipped umami cloud of tomato butter. 5. Agnolotti - Our forever favourite! This season, the delicate pasta parcels in brown butter sauce were filled with sweet corn purée and topped with Manjimup truffles. Yes, they tasted as awesome as they sound. 6. 4-day-aged Japanese Bream - Stunned us this did. Terrifically flavourful with the tiniest hint of funkiness, it had a crispy skin and… ⬇️Continued in Comments⬇️
