You know when sometimes you enter into a room and you just smile?
That’s me and Jaan.
Intimate and cozy with a beautiful cloud of flame-shaped murano glass chandelier that makes me feel like I just walked into a fairytale.
And did I mention it has a breathtaking view of the Lion City?
It’s so romantic I can’t help but smile.
Pissaladiere – bread dough topped with the sweetest white onions from Southern France. Clean, delicate, unpretentious flavors. More smiles from me.
Pumpkin velouté with parmesan chip, dill salad and sour cream
Perfect marriage between pumpkin and parmesan, creamy and crispy, sweet and salty
Olive and thyme bread, sourdough, black truffle brioche, and baguette served with sheep butter and salted butter – I love the truffle brioche the best and have quite a few pieces of it
Avocado – Caviar – Fresh Almonds
Finally, after a few minutes of admiring it, I bring myself to cut a small piece from this beautiful and intricate work of art, and my palate is treated to a smooth, subtle taste of the ocean followed by the nutty buttery taste of the avocado.
Foie Gras – Rose Hip – Five Spices
The sweet and tart rose hip puree complements nicely the rich and creamy foie gras mousse. Love the crunchy bits on the right.
Boudin Blanc – Madeira – Mushrooms
Pheasant boudin blanc with chanterelle mushroom and aubergine puree and madeira sauce. In short, sausage. But this sausage is like nothing I have ever tried before. It is so fresh and light, like foam. And all the sauces that come with it exist only to beautify its flavor.
Simply delicious.
Scallops – Apple – Hazelnut
If this pan fried Norwegian scallop were to take human form, it would be me –
tender, juicy, plump and sweet. Hehehe.
Lamb – Aubergine – Olives
What can I say, Wales marsh lamb is delicate in flavor, a bit sweet even, and super duper soft
Sea Bass – Artichokes – Parsley
Skin is crisp while fish remains moist and tender. Love the crunchy and salty squid, tastes like it’s fresh out of the sea
Pre-dessert: Vanilla panna cotta, hawthorn jelly, lemon espuma and thyme
This is too sweet but the combination of the ingredients works wonders for my palate.
I like it very, very much.
Peach – Blackcurrant – Cream
I am hopelessly in love with the marinated peach
Strawberry ice cream, strawberry chocolate, strawberry dust – a very nice surprise
Petit fours: cream puff, hazelnut barquette, passion fruit marshmallow, lavender licorice macaron, pineapple and lime jelly
Tea and coffee, almond nougatine and rum praline
Sugar cubes!!! I grew up eating these!
Jaan is all about simplicity and exquisiteness, beautiful execution, honest and unpretentious flavors, topnotch service and romantic, dreamlike ambiance.
Whenever I think about my meal at Jaan, I just can’t help but smile.
