Fancy for a homemade style Italian dining with something simple, fresh, delicious and very Italian? Why not visit and dine at Metro Buffet and Grill, where the Executive Chef Giovanni Pugliano brings you the classic Italian appetizer – Carpaccio in July for your enjoyment.

 

Originated in Venice, Carpaccio was first served to the countess in 1950, when her doctor recommended her to eat raw meat only in 1950, and was named ‘Carpaccio” as its color was similar to the painting of the Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio. Over the years, Carpaccio has been adapted and is now defined as any thinly-sliced raw meat or fish, marinated and – last but not least— Italian! Light and refreshing, it’s perfect for summer

 

Chef Giovanni suggested tasting the Carpaccio from lighter to stronger favour. Let’s start to whet your appetite; Beetroot with Goat Cheese, the acidity of goat cheese is offset by the earthy essence of beetroot, creating a balanced blend of complex flavours. Followed by Kingfish with Tangy Mayonnaise, the crunchy Australia semi-oily fish slices are gorgeously plump and sweet, simply spiced up with a dash of garlic and chilli sauce and mayo, its freshness bursts in your mouth; or try the Salmon with Amarena Cherry and Lemon, the sour Italian Amarena cherry together with sweet salmon and bitter radicchio lettuce, creating a palate-pleasing symphony.

 

If you would like to taste something with stronger flavour,  have a bite of Beef with Rocket and Parmesan, Chef Giovanni revised this classic recipe by adding rocket leaves, giving a refreshing punch; Lamb with Truffle, Australian lamb loin is seasoned with a hint of sea salt and lemon juice, enhanced by the delicate fragrance of Italian black truffle making it everything but irresistible! Don’t miss out the Venison with Balsamic, simply dipping the game meat in 25-year-old balsamic vinegar from Modena, definitely a mouth-watering dish you will never forget!

 

There are more food and dessert choices along the buffet line. Come and experience the true and original taste of Italy.
