Holstein Bone-In Beef Rib. This 1 – 1.2 kg beef is more than enough to be shared by 2 persons. It’s aged 50 days, giving this bone-in beef a more beefy flavorful taste. It’s not included in the full set course but you can order this separately.

Just look at that! It’s such a wondrous sight for meat-lovers like me.

What’s more: Atelier Vivanda also offers French wines and (seasonal) cheeses by BRVT, Chef Akrame’s wine and cheese bar in France. They serve these with a cheese knife that is an art piece created by a French artist, Pauline Dupin. It’s like slicing cheeses with art.

If you love custards, the dessert that you should try is Vivanda’s Custard with Lemongrass ice cream. It tasted like a lightly beaten egg pie with a fragrant ice cream on the side. When you have them together in one bite, it’s very pleasing to the senses: light and refreshing. Best part of the custard would be the thick flaky end of the crust. Save the best for last!

Moment of truth: the dessert we’ve all been waiting for – THE Atelier Vivanda Crème Brûlée! It is known to be the BEST and we can attest to that. It had the right amount of sweetness and the texture was just perfect. The bourbon vanilla wasn’t overpowering and the abundance of vanilla specks was divine. This dessert in one word: GLORIOUS!
