The world was moving the first time I was introduced during a Sunday lunch in December. Maddie was beside me and I was sitting quietly dazed on my seat, nursing a very bad hangover. A power shake they served cleared the clouds over my head and when I started tasting their dishes, that’s when my focus centered.

A few months later, I find myself strolling yet again Serendra, which I used to frequent a lot but have leaned towards BHS in the recent years for the shops and last year, BHS Central, for new restaurants. Now, I’m gravitating towards Serendra again since there’s a restaurant there not to be missed… Mesclun. It breathes a new verve to the area and my food soul wanders there.

Andre’s Poke P345
Hawaiian-style tuna ceviche in soy sesame dressing
If you find the name funny, you haven’t heard what the Hawaiians call their appetizer. Poke, served in Hawaiian Cuisine, is a fresh raw salad with cut-up or cubed pieces of seafood like tuna or salmon, lightly dressed in sesame oil, roasted crushed nut mayo dressing, chili flakes and soy sauce, garnished with seaweed. I am fond of sashimi and spicy tuna salad and this clearly is a close counterpart but just accessorized and amped up.
The taste of freshness barbed with a tinge of heat and mayo cream rolls on the tongue beautifully.
