I was impressed that instead of complimentary bread, guests were given the Chicken Sate platter, which I thought was really good.
I normally eat chicken or vegetable dishes whenever I dine out, but on this night I was a bit adventurous, and I chose the escargot and prawns for our appetizer. I did try escargot and prawns before, but I decided I wanted to try them again, and this appetizer was very flavorful and spicy. I admit, however, that I ate most of the mushrooms while my husband ate most of the escargot and prawns.
There was only one chicken entree - a chicken roulade, but since I don't care for rolled/stuffed chicken, I asked our server which fish dish he would recommend, and he advised the Whole Fresh Fish is delicious (but you have to work to eat it since it is the whole fish, after all), and his favorite dish was the Miso Chilean Sea Bass.
So my husband ordered the sea bass and I ordered the Whole Fresh Fish, which was Thai Red Snapper.
For someone who doesn't eat a lot of seafood, it was a bit startling to see the fish - teeth and all, on a plate, but the fish was fantastic - the sauce really made the dish.
And the sea bass was "like butter" according to my husband. I had a taste and it was indeed amazing.
The desserts were almost too pretty to eat! The cheese cake was sweet and light, but the gelato truffle was my favorite of the two desserts. Inside a heart-shaped gelato was raspberry sorbetto. It was delicious and refreshing.
Service was excellent, and our dinner at Chef Chai was one of the best dinners we had all year!
