No meal is without a sweet ending, and this is where the restaurant bows to the cosmopolitan trend, offering a very nice ice cream with expresso. It really is pure
expresso and gives you quite a kick that has to be soothed by the melting ice cream.
Personally, I really enjoyed what is listed on the menu as rice ball fondue. Little globes of glutinous rice float in a sugar syrup in a ceramic fondue pot, and they come with a platter of dips such as sugar and sesame and crushed peanuts. It was a clever interpretation of an old-fashioned dessert.
Presentation is very much a strong point with Saveurs de Coree, and the elegantly styled dishes will find favor with both traditionalists and the modern cosmopolitan.
I almost hesitated in writing this review, since I know the next time I go, I may not find a ready table waiting. It's one of those hip places waiting to happen.
