What I found fascinated about Quince is that the team behind the kitchen is very passionated. Their A4 size menu is updated everyday with new entries cooked from fresh local ingredients.
Let's begin with the story of my first visit on dinner. It began with this complimentary bread. Too chewy for me. This came with Olive oil (very fine one) and sea salt.
I expected a potato Croquette with slight tint of cheese. But I was wrong. It was very cheesy. This little piece of Croquette is tightly packed with smoked cheese. A very good starter for my dinner.
This is like Quince's original form of Insalata Caprese salad. These white fresh cheese is Buffalo Curd. Even though it's a bit lack of richness comparing to mozzarella, I kinda like its softness and wateriness. Dressing was delectable. We licked the plate clean.
One of the most unique pasta I ever encounter. Sourness from vinegar and aroma from mint bugged me a bit, but the Ricotta infused Gnocchi itself was enjoyable.
Skirt steak cooked rare. Accompanied with slow-cooked Beef Ribs. Both were cooked to the perfection. This is the star of our meal. Any meat lover would smack their lips for this. Mushroom Fricassee was full flavor, adding a touch of savoury to the meat. This dish alone definitely make Quince worths a revisit.
The last dish of our dinner was a risotto from the list of special of the day.
I didn't expect Rabbit braised in light soup, served seperately from risotto. This is the very first time I ever eat Rabbit, I am not pretty sure if it tastes like what it's suppose to be. I dont think this is much different from chicken stew.
Here is the risotto. Riced cooked in soup, seasoned with carrot and cheese. A bit too sweet to me. Over all this Bug Bunny Risotto thing was another unique dining experience to me.
And this is what I had for lunch on my second visit. During lunch time, Quince serve mainly baguette sandwiches and only a few kinds of starters. Pasta of the day, so as soup, are available also.
This is one of the appetizer that was available at lunch. There were chunky pieces of nicely braised pork cheek in the rillettes. The seasoning could use a little more zest. Quince paste was satisfying.
Smokey eggplant, Labne, Sweet Onions, Romesco, Edamame :200B
The waitress said this is one of the signature dish. Eggplant was grilled to tender and peeled. Dressing was rather sharp and sour. Not a very good company to preserved onion, which is sour also. Refreshing dish, I must say. But it was impossible for me to finish this alone by myself.
A light one and easy to eat. Tomato's slight sweet&sourness harmonizes the flavor of all ingrredients.
One of their lunch baguette sandwiches. The baguette was the same one as the complimentary's. It disappointed me a lot that they use complimentary bread on something we actually order. The stuffing inside was enjoyable but the bread is too harden and chewy to me.
The pork could have been more tender. Coleslaw was creamy and tasty.
The best one among sandwiches we had that lunch. juicy Roasted pepper and zesty Chorizo was a nice combination. Sheepcurd was sharp and smelly, like a goat cheese, which I personally found it satisfying.
Pasta of the day - Penne, Pork Sausage, Cherry Tomato Ragu :150B
Nice quality and quantity for the price given. But on Sukhumvit road there are so many restaurants serving better pasta than this.
Overall, I found Quince a nice place for dinner. The menu is very creative and passionated. Only during the lunch, Quince isn't showing out what they really are capable of. The wolf turns itself in to a rabbit during the day. Menu is limited to a few casual and homey treat. So Lunch at Quince wouldn't be an option for me. I am willing to visit Quince again for dinner.
