The white asparagus season is upon us for this year. Huber's (一, 二, 三, 四, 五, 六, 七, 八, 九, 十, 十一, 十二, 十三) has gotten theirs from Germany and expectedly put out a limited time menu for the ivory shoots said to be grown in darkness. We were here to brunch on them.
But first some Ice Dazzle Berry Macchiato. Coffee with the citrus of berries mellowed with cream. This was kinda nice.
The unexpected surprise was their cream of white asparagus with curry and a strawberry & onion compote. Creamy and curry scented white asparagus-y soup accompanied by the tart sweetness from the spiced strawberry/onion. 👍🏼
Croissant with cooked ham and raclette cheese from their breakfast menu. Because we were here at the confluence of breakfast and the day menu. I liked this. For the buttery simplicity and the light pungent cheese.
White asparagus with Hollandaise, buttered boiled potatoes and Swiss farmer ham.
Same stuff with Tasmanian grass fed beef in mushroom cream sauce.
White asparagus mousse with strawberry coulis for dessert. There was a lot of that white asparagus flavour in the mousse.
No white asparagus in this coffee. Just a regular one.
