Please don’t shun away at the sight of the word ‘Vegetarian‘ if you are a meat lover.
This is the first time AiMakan is introducing a herbivorous fare but any carnivores should give this humble joint a shot, I hope it could win you over.Original Sin was launched by Michael Hadley two years after his first restaurant, Michelangelo’s was constituted in 1995. For the past decade and a half, the extraordinary eatery was led by Marisa Bertocchi; Culinary Director whom is a resolute vegetarian and chef alike.
Advance into its chic premises and be dazzled by a typical fine dining experience that does not shout ‘Vegetarian’.
Magic Mushroom – one serving, $18.
Mushrooms and cheeses always score perfect marriages. Every jumbo portobello mushroom is baked with two types of cheeses; Ricotta and Mozzarella along with a ton of fancy ingredients like pesto and a tomato basil sauce.
If only I could eliminate the fact that I might be able to recreate this steeply priced dish at home, I would dig it even more.
Bosco misto, $26
One of the best entrées of the evening.
I was taken aback by the fact that those golden patties were made of Tofu and feta cheese. Are you?
Crusted with crumbled almonds and sesame seeds, fried then plated with a button mushroom plum gravy. You bet it tasted just as good as it looked and sounded.
Moussaka, $26
A gratifying substitute for Lasagne without the pasta layers. Instead of the carbo ply and cheese, the chef used grilled eggplant slices and a white sauce in the recipe. Great for someone on a diet like me.
Canelloni, $26
Rolled sheets of pasta filled with spinach and ricotta, backed with a Rose basil sauce, parmesan and mozzarella.
I love how this photo came out to be but that was all.
Hazelnut Chocolate Cake, $12.
If you happen to know AiMakan’s true name, you would have known why I ordered this dessert. (hint : hazelnut)
This luscious rich treat could satisfy every sweet tooth any time.
Marble Cheese cake with ice cream, $12.
I like my cheese cakes heavy with a creamy top and a buttery base. Original Sin’s could do a better bottom to go with the approved body by me.
Somehow or other, I think the ice cream might go better with the former (chocolate cake). Just my two cents worth.
I would agree that these fares we had were indeed sumptuous but it would be even better if I could enjoy the meal without worrying about the exorbitant tab.
*this invitation is initiated by Original Sin and PR Er Han, thank you for the dinner and company that evening.*
