<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d today like to talk about Savelberg, a 1-Michelin Stared restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It used to be on the Witthayu Rd. before moved to Yenakart Soi 2 in June 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This restaurant is located diagonally in front of Don Asado, the one that I\u2019ve wrote about the other day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I was curious for quite some time but when a restaurant is located near, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I for some reason do not choose to dine there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we\u2019ve heard that they have a Lunch course only on Saturdays and we\u2019ve decided to dine there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chef Henk Savelberg: The Dutch Maestro Behind Savelberg Bangkok – Established in 2014<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Savelberg is a restaurant opened by a Dutchman, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chef Henk Savelberg in 2014 that carries 1 Michelin Star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,
Chef Henk Savelberg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It used to be on the Witthayu Rd. but moved to Yenakart Rd. in June 2021 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and now the restaurant is operated in a single standing land-house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,
Outside of the restaurant. It is brightly white with a modern architecture.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Savelberg was given with a Michelin Star for the first time in the Michelin Guidebook in FY 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gives us enough reason to expect wonderful dishes that they will prepare for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring the Ambience: Inside the Michelin-Starred Savelberg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With shiny white table cloth that matches the brightly white appearance of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the furniture is in black & white monotone color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Their staffs also are wearing black uniform, everything what you see here are artistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The tables are set quite apart from each other, a very relaxing layout.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see the garden from the window as if it is a painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birds con to visit the garden trees one after another which is very nice to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Very simple and yet efficient, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

this is where you will see the aesthetics of this restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epicurean Journey: A Detailed Look at Savelberg’s French Cuisine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They have lunch menus and dinner menus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, lunch is only on Saturdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lunch menus are as the following. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

They are; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 course menu <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 courses menu  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 courses menu (Vegetarian)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

They do not have wine-pairing however; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

they will make few recommendations that will go well with your dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,
My Dear Hubby discussing wine with the staff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We most likely will not be able to finish the food if we ordered 6 course dinner <\/p>\n\n\n\n

but as it was Saturday that we went there, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

we ordered lunch menu (3 course menu) which they serve only on Saturdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The 3 course menu comes with appetizer, main dish, and desert.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 types of appetizers, main dishes and desserts that you can choose from.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,
The menu of the day that we went there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You will be served with \u201cAmuse\u201d until your plates arrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,
\uff08Right\uff1aSquid, Tomato, Black Olives, Chive, Middle: Oyster, Apple ponzu Caviar, Onion Compote, Left: macaron, Foie Gras, Truffle\uff09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,
(Cucumber Brunoise, Cucumber Granita, Ginger Yogurt Foam)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There were 4 kinds of Amuse Bouche they had on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am really looking forward to taste the Amuse Bouche <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and I am sure that many of my readers are also looking forward to Amuse Bouche when you dine out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When you taste these amuse, your expectation for your course menu to follow will grow wild.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The appetizer that I had on the day was a choice from \u201cFoie gras\u201d or \u201cCeviche\u201d or \u201cTomato\u201d.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband had Foie gras and I had Blue crab.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come to think of it, my hubby also have chosen Foie gras when we dine at Le Normandie .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMichelin 2-Star French Cuisine at Le Normandie, Mandarin Oriental Bangkok: A Detailed Review<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHello, everyone I am Chifumi Maeda, a Japanese female president living in Bangkok. Thank you, guys, for visiting this \u201cTrue comments from Japanese female pre…<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Foie gras, I was told, had a simple taste so as to bring out all the goodness of the ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband had a medium bodied red wine with his dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that when you have a wine with Foie gras, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the wine let the wonderful taste of Foie gras stand out even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve chosen Blue crab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The top white layer is \u201cCream Fraiche\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are 4 layers under which a layer of avocado, a layer of crab, and a layer of tomato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The caviar that is sitting on top layer mixed with the salty taste of the crab orchestrate <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a wonderful taste of uniformity with creamy texture of avocado and sour taste of tomato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

My hubby, when he saw my plate, the chinaware, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

he said <\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>
\n

this chinaware somehow has a touch of Japanese ware.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And indeed, the ware had something of \u201cKANETSUGI\u201d element.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should never do this in a restaurant as it is rude but when I took a look on the back of the plate\u2026,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It clearly read \u201cKANETSUGI\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not the real Kanetsugi but showed that it was inspired by the Japanese Kanetsugi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Note: What is KANETSUGI?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Japanese technique for repairing broken ceramics and glassware with gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several theory, but it is said that it started around the 14th century.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now comes the main course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

My hubby had \u201cWagyu Hanger Steak\u201d medium rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Have the steak with the Parsnip that came with on the plate creates flavorful taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve tried some and it was a vegetable that I had for the first time. The taste is similar to Fennel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The sauce was \u201cTomasu soya sauce\u201d, the only soy sauce brand in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I had white asparagus, my favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was told that it is from Holland just like where the chef is from.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is one of the vegetable in Europe that represents the coming of the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It came with mushed potato and Beurre Blanc Sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I know that it is available only for a certain season, I cannot help not trying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And for the dessert, my hubby had \u201cForest Mushroom\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is with white chocolate, vanilla and yogurt mousse, pistachio sponge, marshmallow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It almost looks as it is a poison mushroom but it is pop and cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have sweet tooth, you would like it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

but it is probably too much for me as I am not good in enjoying sweets.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My hubby, a sweets lover, loved it and finished it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I had Baiser Pappollion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dessert prepared with chocolate mousse, yuzu (Citrus junos), and orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the center of the ball, there hides bitter-sweet orange neutralizing the sweetness of chocolate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was quite refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Savelberg,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Is it because of the atmosphere? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or is it because of dining in a relaxing ambience? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not that big volume but we felt quite full.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve enjoyed our dessert with coffee as they were quite sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee came with canel\u00e9 and cookies <\/p>\n\n\n\n

but as it was much too much for us to enjoy them there, we took them home with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We didn\u2019t realize that we spent so much time there.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve enjoyed the restaurant not only the foods <\/p>\n\n\n\n

but also the beautiful tableware, the services, and the space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent a very luxurious time there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
