Tried the current set lunch menu at The Stamford Brasserie.
Came with a seafood bisque that was a pleasant surprise with the piping hot crustacean-y creaminess. Happened to be raining while we were having this. What doesn't show from the picture were bits of shrimp, fish and small clams. The croissant thingy on the side was a buttery bonus.
Intrigued by their chicken breast with truffle corn cream, polenta and corn ribs. Dish was so...sunflower. Reminded me of a certain textures of corn plate we had years back. Very specific memory triggered here. Nice savoury truffle corn cream. Also pretty glad that the chicken breast was relatively tender and not dry/stringy.
The menu mention aquaponics tilapia. Not that I could specifically tell. Fish was passable and had the tell tale "muddy" flavour of fresh water fish - partially masked by the bursts of tang from the trout roe & Lilliput capers as well as a creamy mellow from the saffron beurre blanc. The pickled endive on the side was delicious.
