Many friends have told me about Le Bon Funk and I finally tasted the food
for myself. Yes, the food is good. It's not what you can easily find
outside. The signature Foie Gras toast with cedar jelly is so far one of the
more successful interpretation of Foie gras I have. It's still your familiar
Foie gras + sweet jam kind of combination, but tons lighter in the form of
frozen Foie gras shavings.
The Artichoke with alioli and vinaigrette is somewhat of an acquired
taste. My table partner commented that it tasted like pickles or sour
vegetables. It's not that sour, and you don't eat the entire vegetable.
Only the soft mushy base of each petal. It served as a good table snack
that almost lasted till our desserts.
Beef tongue with gribiche sandwich is THE dish that I've looked most
forward to. And it was stunning. Piping hot toasts stuffed with layers of
parma-ham-thin beef tongue and tangy gribiche sauce. Flavors are punchy
and some might find it heavy on the salt which I thought was neutralized
by the tangy gribiche sauce. A must try.
Another unexpectedly delicious dish was the Spanish Octopus that's cooked
to the right tenderness. The smoked paprika lifted the dish with gentle
spicy kicks and made this different from the grilled Octopus
elsewhere.
The ricotta agnolotti (note: it's not ravioli) was decent and not a must
have. It looked rich and creamy but tasted otherwise. I can't tell the
presence of cauliflower but the leeks and fried garlic chips definitely
took the front seat.
You know the place takes its desserts seriously when you have something
quirky like the sweet potato mochi balls, browned butter and mascarpone in
one. It's savoury and sweet, with delightful crunchy bits of caramelized
nuts sneaking from beneath the innocent cream that actually tasted funky
of goat milk.
I love the food, the place and the vibes here. Good for small groups
gathering and romantic dates. I've already spotted a few other items that
I want to try. Can't wait to be back!
