ITALIAN · OPENING BITES
Avocado & Tomato
฿380
Two things that ripen at the same time, sliced and served cold — the kind of plate that tastes like the market rather than the kitchen.
Avocado, soft and buttery at the centre.
Vine-ripened tomatoes, sweet and faintly acidic.
Light seasoning, nothing more.
It's an opening bite in the Italian sense — crudo in spirit, assembled rather than cooked, so the only technique involved is knowing when to stop. The avocado is cut thick enough to hold its shape against the tomato, and the tomatoes are seasoned just before they leave the pass, so the salt draws out their juice without turning the plate watery. Eat it first, while everything is still cool and the contrast between creamy and bright is at its sharpest.
Vegetarian.
