Review Pelanggan untuk Mockingbird

Went here because I wanted to see how Shophaus looks like. And apparently this is the only place in Shophaus for a proper 'heavy' lunch.

The place was quite impressive. Lovely space setting with airy high ceiling which I love. Very cozy indeed.

But sadly, not so with the food. Tried:

Wagyu Salad
Pretty good combination of grilled wagyu, crunchy green apple, pear, seeds and greens. But the spicy parmesan chips were only there as a small garnish and hardly added any taste to the whole dish. There was another downside of the balsamic dressing being too sharp and tangy for my liking.

Mushroom Pie
This so-called "pie" came up more like zuppa soup. It was actually very tasty. I could taste truffle in there as well. But the consistency of the filling was very soupy. When I ordered 'pie', I expected the filling to be more hearty and dense.

Lamb Lollipop
I didn't know what happened with the seasoning, the lamb was just too salty, though still edible. The pesto that was supposed to be complementing the rich fatty lamb tasted incredibly sharp to the point of overpowering the whole dish. I had to discard most of the pestos and went with just a tiny spread of it. Mashed potatoes and sauteéd mushrooms was good. But those weren't the point of ordering lamb lollipop right?

Too bad, this lovely cozy place didn't serve the same impression on their food. With that kind of taste, I felt their food was kinda overpriced and overrated with that 'fine dining' claim.
