Mala lamb, the final course before dessert, is prepared in Sichuan style, served with salsify and sticky-rice noodle. The wine pairing this time is our first red of the night, an earthy 2011 Ribera from Spain.
Dessert came as another trio: Vanilla dumpling with an infusion of osmanthus and mandarin, and then came that apple treat I mentioned earlier, a molecular green-apple parfait with cardamom cake and crispy apple noodle.
Then there is the Tray of Togetherness, a candy selection that's a perfect finale in a week that started with Chinese New Year and ended on Valentine's Day.
