The Gluttonous Temptress

Food hunted with fervour, passion, and a whole lotta gluttony...be seduced... My name is Candice Leong. Engaging. Tailored. Finesse. Merriment. Passion.

Gluttonous temptress, private chef, food consultant, and party conspiratrice. Through the combination of my background in theatre-making, bespoke clothing, diamond handling, extensive travels, fiesta fervour, irrepressible nature, and undeniable obsession with food; I've evolved a manner of creating experiences and events that are infused with all that I am, whilst being purposeful to your needs. And no, I don't take it all too seriously :)

Dearest Gluttons of My Heart โค๏ธ

Iโ€™m pleased to announce, by popular demand, a reprisal of the sold out collaboration between The Sensory Alchemist ๐Ÿธโœจ๐ŸŽถ, Andrew Lum, at his super secret new location, The Upper Room, which is strictly by invite only.

We will be pairing 7 courses with cocktailsโ€ฆand perhaps a surprise course or two more, depending on what special seasonal produce arrives. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate any food intolerances but we do have a pescatarian option and some add ons. The raw items (eg. tartare/oysters) can also be requested to be blowtorched/cooked.

As we have only a very limited number of places, we request that you only share this event with those you intend to attend with as we would like to make our closest friends/clients priority. Do book in with either of us early (single seats or entire place) and spots will be confirmed upon receipt of payment. We will share the exact location on the date of your booking.

I hope to see yโ€™all to celebrate our opening up (finally!!) ๐Ÿ˜… and hope to toast you to better times ahead over a drink or 7โ€ฆ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿน๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿฅด

โค๏ธ,
C.

Dearest Gluttons of my Heart โค

It's been a while since we've had an EAT THE SEASON POP-UP DINNER !!
Between all my travels and knee surgery and my busiest work year yet (shout out to all your continuous support ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’‹) I've been hard pressed to find the right moment...HOWEVER, we could not let the season of my favourite ingredient pass without coming together at this Temptress's Table ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ Yes, it's *MURASAKI UNI* time!!!!! And this time, we will be tasting 3 other types of uni side-by-side ๐Ÿคค
The rest of the menu is inspired by the best of the season including wild asparagus, stinging nettle, fava, celeriac, eel...and of course, the first of the organic Welsh salt marsh spring lamb from Rhug Estate, granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2018 ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅฌ I also discovered the amazing salt bush when I was in Australia in April and have fortunately found a supplier here who brings it in. Can't wait to share the story of this indigenous plant!!

Following my return to work under my chef mentor Damiano Nigro of Villa d'Amelia, Alba, earlier in Feb, my respect for allowing the best ingredients to speak for themselves has been reinvigorated.
Hence, instead of fussing over preparations in different styles, I will present some as horizontal tastings, with minimum accompaniments/condiments carefully sourced or made in house.
Also, I've been elevating my risotto skills under his guidance ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ I really hope you join at my table for this inspiringly curated feast ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโœจ

Else, see you all when I return in Oct from Argentina where I'm going to learn to cook with fire in the Patagonian wilderness and then a grand tour of the U.S.A. (after 21 years!!)๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ

And as it should be, this year I will do away with a defined menu and go with whatever inspires at the markets here in Piemonte ๐Ÿ’– of course, it will feature standards like the divinely lean and sweet fassona beef, salumi from Salumeria Luiset, colourful vegetables of the season, and handmade 30-yolk tagliolini ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒฐ this truffle season is one of the best in years, certainly since I started coming here, and the reduced prix-fixe reflects this so be sure to reserve your seat soon...

If you asked this Glutton what her favourite food in the world is, it would an easy answer: Sea Urchin or Uni. Preferably from Japan, but I.eat.it.all ๐Ÿ˜‹ These delicate tongues of golden sunshine and briny sea and tease of minerals and naturally salted buttery divineness is proof to me that God exists โœจ a perfect food unto itself...

And nothing is quite better than eating them, live mins before, straight from the shell!! The brief Murasaki season is upon us!! The denser and almost floral flavour is incomparable ๐ŸŒธ and we will enjoy them along with several other sea urchin with the menu I have created for this year!

For those attending without the sea urchin course, wild hirame (Japanese flounder) and other seasonal fish will feature, as well as an option of ayu (sweetfish) for the main.

The sumptuous Laughing Juice where we will fraternise will be offering a sparkling wine/sake/red wine pairing for just $58. Do PM to reserve one of the limited seats soon.

Looking forward to welcoming you again at The Temptress's Table...be seduced...

Dearest Gluttons,

After a long bleak winter that still hasn't ended for some, I'm taking my inspiration from the brilliant colours & cornucopia of Spring ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒฑ
I will attempt an ode to the master Michel Bras's famous La Gargouillou salad, which is still one of the best dishes I've had in fine-dining.
I will be specially importing tasteful and intriguing flowers, leaves, and cresses for visual and sensorial delectation on your plate.
Seasonal produce from Japan, France, Italy, and Holland will also feature on the regular or pescatarian menu, along with some goodies I'll find along the way on my trip to Hokkaido and Tokyo.
I look forward to welcoming you to another vibrant dinner at The Temptress's Table.

So, comeโ€ฆ and be seducedโ€ฆ
