Fat-a-Touille's slogan is 'Let's get fat together' but after our visit there, I have to ask why the accumulation of fat is all one sided - tipped in favour of the diners!
We visited on a weekday, and was greeted by a friendly waitress who provided very good service throughout our meal.
The menu is not extensive, only four or five items each in the entree, main, and salad category and two selections in dessert but to an indecisive person whose eyes are bigger than her tummy, it was wonderful!
As entree we ordered chicken momo. The dumplings were deep fried with sweet black bean sauce. There were also capsicums stir fried together with the sauce. The dish came out piping hot, and was very tasty. I liked how the dumplings were fried, it was crispy throughout, and if you liked it a bit softer then let the sauce do it's job before eating.
My choice of entree was the spicy lamb salad. There was a generous serving of lamb slices, maybe even more lamb than salad leaves in this dish!
My main of slow braised goat masala was delicious. Here, a funny thing happened. A diner next to me leaned across and asked me what dish it was, and after I told him what it was, and that it was delicious, it turns out that he did not order the dish! So, why would you ask what dish it was? Did he wanted to make sure what it was so he can ensure he doesn't order it? Or was it that he couldn't trust my taste when I told him it was delicious?
Main of crispy pork belly. It was served with potatoes, carrots, and apple pickled in balsamic vinegar to provide some acid to cut through the fat of the belly. The crackling on the pork was crispy, but the pork had been fried during the process to obtain the crispiness so the meat was not as juicy. Given the size and turnover of the restaurant, they had probably finished roasting the meat before dinner time and re-crisped it upon order, which seems the most logical thing to do.
We ordered both the desserts on the menu, and both of them were good! The crepes were thin, and delicious with maple syrup.
The panacotta was wobbly but held its shape. It was not too sweet, perfect!
We enjoyed the Eurasian flavours, and the generous servings in this restaurant.
