Cold smoked loin of wild salmon, caviar & greens from Mad About Sucre. (It would be remiss of me not to take this opportunity to commend the team behind The Teung Project (a sustainable outreach project which aims for the empowerment and betterment of the lives of children in rural…
French Foie Gras Linguine Aglio Olio from Mad About Sucre’s new summer menu. The peppery, garlicky and well-oiled linguine was zhup-ly wet with anticipation while elsewhere the delicate, gossamer-skinned cubes of foie gras deflate marvellously in your mouth, revealing their indulgently, lusciously gooey softness within. 4.1/5 Mad About Sucre 27…
