Friends Restaurant is back with their truffle degustation, featuring our locally-sourced Manjimup Truffles. Find this deal on Scoopon for 50% discount! The dego started with a creamy chestnut and truffle soup , which had a thick consistency and set a great tone for the meal. The thinly shaved truffle slice on top exuded so much flavour that it’s evident why truffle is a delicacy of such calibre.Field mushroom lasagne was my favourite dish as the pasta sheets were silky and transparent. The smooth mushroom paste inside was enhanced by shaved truffle on top and brown butter sauce was a flattering accompaniment.As much as I loved the previous course, prawn and truffle mayonnaise was easily my least favourite. There was a lot of wakame salad so sesame oil was very overpowering. The essence of lobster, prawn and truffle flavours was somewhat lost in the abundant presence of mayo and avocado.Beef was beautifully braised, with the protein falling apart at the touch of a fork. The red wine sauce would have been great if the aim wasn’t to hero truffle as without the extra shaved truffle on top afterwards we couldn’t taste it. Potato mousseline was a dry and grainy circle of mashed potato that unfortunately didn’t do the trick.Although the savoury courses were not all satisfactory, we completely appreciated the hospitality . Clyde and the team made sure we were comfortable and offered many generous rounds of truffle shavings. But have you ever loved an ice cream so much that you’d eat an entire degustation just to get through to the end for it?Ever since we discovered truffle ice cream , I was hooked and everytime we’ve had the truffle dego at Friends, we’ve had an extra scoop each for our dessert and some more to take away . This time round the apple crumble souffl has risen beautifully, texture airy and soft. Truffle ice cream is forever so smooth and the earthiness is super addictive. The fragrance is unmistakably distinctive and it’s the kind of flavour that lingers on your palate, and breath, for a long time, as long as you don’t eat or drink anything else afterwards. Trust me you’d wanna savour it! instagram.com
We were 3 couples. The food and service was stupendous. We had complementary soup, starters and palate cleansers. We had a massive steak for mains. The tiger prawns were scrumptious and yummy. We had fine wine and good conversation. There was no room for dessert. Sigh! Theres not been such a good meal in Perth for us. The steak really fills you up. Not a bad way to end. Our friends were not in the mood to give up so had desserts. We looked at them in envy as the delighted in the sweet and creamy offering that made us look longingly. Another trip is required for the desserts and sweet wines.
