Mitzo (Valentine's Day Feature)
We always had a good impression of this restaurant whenever we thought of good Cantonese food. never quite got around to trying it until recently, when it seemed like a unique choice for Valentine's day. while much of these combinations may no longer be available at the restaurant, this introductory note gives everyone a glimpse of what this contemporary fusion of Cantonese food with cocktails is all about.
Mitzo is located on the 4th storey of Grand Park Orchard hotel. the restaurant prides itself for delivering good quality Cantonese cuisine with a twist of modern flavours and curation of traditional dishes. Kinda thought it would be a unique Valentine's date experience for 2 people of the same dialect group and to see what menu they could conjure to fit the theme of a largely Western celebration. Great first impressions with friendly and knowledgeable staff, who would engage guests with light hearted conversation. They would also pain-stakingly introduce every dish, including giving suggestions on the best ways to enjoy their taste. 
true to its roots, this trio of Cantonese starters came with tea-infused char siew, prawns in sesame mayonnaise and scallops with chicken floss. a good blend of taste and the quality of the barbecued pork was telling of their authenticity. a nod of approval from both of us was probably a good start for the evening. Cantonese folk always would have soup for a complete meal. the next serving of double boiled sea cucumber, served with abalone, mushroom and ham consomme was abundant with ingredients and rich is flavour. another thumbs up. 
then comes the more fusion variants, with this cod fish marinated in beetroot sauce and served with a crispy home-made egg tofu that was interesting and tasty. good texture for the cod fish and a creative blend of sauces which mixed well with the tofu. fine-dining portions no doubt, but a good build-on for a 5 course meal. the final savoury dish of chilled duck with poached Hong Kong noodles in Bonito sauce may only be a spoonful, it was nonetheless a good taster for their capability to whip up good egg noodle dishes. 
dessert was really interesting, passion fruit Granitas topped with lychee sorbet and paired with a chocolate-lava dumpling. we loved the colours and the sweetness of the dish. not to mention, the full course came with a pairing of two artisanal cocktails that were both refreshing and creatively presented. in all, a very pleasantly surprising experience, and certainly made us resolve to come back for the full menu and dim sum lunch sometime in the future. Mitzo now ranks amongst one of the favourites, for good Cantonese cuisine..
