Your dinner starts off on a high note, arriving in a custom-built wooden box for Alma by Juan Amador, lying on a bed of hot coffee beans to keep warm, is the luscious and dense home-made potato bread with crushed coffee beans, topped with toasted oatmeal crumble. The crispy crust breaks upon first bite, unleashing the aroma of potatoes and coffee as it fills your mouth, followed closely by the fluffy texture that keeps you going back for yet another bite.
What comes next is a vibrant assortment of heirloom cherry tomatoes in, red, orange, and green, laying on a bed of burrata cheese, paired with a light and refreshing tomato sorbet, doused in tangy aged balsamic and lastly garnished with olive chips. This dish is best eaten with a little of each element together, ultimately unapologetically flavourful and stimulating to the senses.
A visit to Alma wouldn’t be complete if you didn’t try their Signature Angel Hair Cold Pasta, beautifully plated and topped with octopus’ terrine, seaweed dressing, and N25 Oscietra Caviar, the scent of truffle is prominent from the moment the dish lands all the way to your last bite.
The main star of the show will be none other than the Iberico Pork Belly. Cooked twice, sous vide then pan seared, the prized meat is crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. The acidity from the tangy Amanatsu orange helps to cut through the richness of the produce. Perfectly seasoned and paired with flavourful pork jus, this dish is an impeccable combination of savoury, sweet, and salty flavours.
