The Ambassador Room, Ryde

Tonight I went to an not your ordinary restaurant. It provides training ground to the upcoming chefs. The team of chefs who are in charge is from the superior cuisine specialised in French.

Menu for Tonight

Even for a student restaurant, we have a choice of two for our 3 course menu. However, it also have canape and cheese plate to share. There is also tea or coffee and pettit fours to follow. 

Bread and Bread Sticks

We have a full bowl of bread and bread sticks to share among our table. We love the olive and herb bread and would love to takeaway some! :D

Seared Scallop with Rocket Pesto and Tomato Vinaigrette

The canape is seared scallop. The fresh scallop is soaking in a spoonful of tomato soup.

Warm Vichyssoise with Poached Oysters, Salmon Roe and Green Onion Oil

My entree is warm vichyssoise. The strong oyster taste balance with the flat creamy soup base.

Ravioli of Mixed Mushroom in Chervil and Red Capsicum Sauce

The other entree is mixed mushroom ravioli. I didn't have a chance to sample it but I can see the thin layer of pasta wrapped finely chopped mushroom.

Smoked Rack of Lamb with Mashed Potato, Port Wine and Lentil Jus

I normally wouldn't pick smoke favour dish. This smoke lamb rack didn't have that very strong smoking favour which is my liking.

Pan Fried Whole Barramundi with Ratatouille and Tapenade Crust

The other main for the night is barramundi. May be the tapenade is too strong which is not for everyone.

Orange and Grand Mariner Chiboust with Pastry Crust

At the time of dessert, I am already quite full. I cannot finished my dessert! The grand mariner is a bit too strong for me but the texture of the chiboust is very nice. The pastry is very thin and crusty.

Chocolate Profiteroles with Kahlua Sabayon and Chocolate Ice Cream

Never can go wrong with profiteroles. Yum Yum!


We have finished off with tea or coffee and pettit fours and a cheese plate to share. There is two different type of cheese, cheddar and blue. They are pretty generous with the portion of the cheese served. Unfortunately I was too full and forgot to take the photos of them. :p


At the end of our meal, we even able to meet up with the team of chefs who love to hear our feedback to their dishes. Not everytime you go to dine and have a chance to meet up with the chefs there. :)
