INVITED 🐙 // Entrée: Fremantle octopus, mallorquina, nori cracker, sriracha aioli; aud18 from Fresch Restaurant, Como. Menu on @perthfoodmenu How pretty does this entrée look? 😍 Notice how thinly the octopus is sliced in the second pic? Very impressive knife skills. Interesting flavours of the thinly-sliced chewy octopus, smoky mallorquina, crispy pork crackle and nori crackers. Slightly spicy with the sriracha aioli too. Enjoyed this as a whole save for the nori crackers. First time trying mallorquina and I found the flavours of this salami smoky and a bit salty. Not as salty or oily as chorizo. Definitely worth a try! Per the food distributor’s website: “Mallorquina is a delicacy originating from a 16th century recipe from the Balearic island of Mallorca (where Rafael Nadal is from!! 😍). Traditionally hung around the fireplace to cure, it develops a smoky aroma whilst retaining the sweet notes of the meat. The Mallorquina comes in a large natural skin, average weight is 2 kg. Sweet spicy, smoky spreadable fermented salami. Traditionally served on unsalted bread. Keeping to the standards of Mallorca, with no additional colouring, all flavour notes come from the traditional spices used in its original manufacture. This product is perfect to be held at 18 degrees or below. Its maturing cycle allows for it to be eaten at 10 weeks of curing, though flavours develop and blossom as it continues to mature.” #invited #freschrestaurant #como #modernaustralian #octopus #mallorquina #sriracha #nori #salami #marceskdale #perthfoodreview (at Fresch Restaurant)

INVITED // Mains: 250g Scotch fillet steak, broccoli purée, dukkha aud38 and Sides: roast potatoes, fresh herbs, lemon dressing aud10 from Fresch restaurant, Como. Steak was pink and juicy (though some bits were a bit too raw for me - Disclaimer: I do take my steak ‘medium well’ normally and I can feel some people shaking their heads at this already. 😂) and the roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The crispy kale bits on top added to the dish texture-wise. So visually aesthetic and this was one of my favourites of the night. The restaurant’s interiors doesn’t look like it’s that much of a fine dining place, but the presentation and freshness of the dishes are definitely fine-dining worthy. I feel like it’s a relaxed restaurant where you don’t feel the need to dress up but still get pretty nice food. A lot of us tend to focus on the exteriors but really at the end of the day, the taste of the food is always what matters most. And no, I’m not saying this coz it is an invited event. In fact, I think I seldom get invited coz I speak the harsh truth too often. Understandably most restaurant operators only want to hear nice things being said. #invited #freschrestaurant #como #steak #scotchfillet #beef #modernaustralian #marceskdale #honestreviewsonly #perthfoodreview (at Fresch Restaurant)
