Lumbre, a new restaurant at Chijmes run by Spanish Chef Jose Alonso (same for Kulto and Kilo).

Bluefin Chutoro “Tiradito” (sliced raw fish) with Chipotle Sauce and Wakame:
It was a melt in your mouth chutoro, Not too much to make me feel its too fatty, but just right to make me feel greedy to want a bit more but no more. That means i will order this again next time.

Grilled dry aged beef slider:
I have been into bread making.. the bun was fresh and soft. The patty was cooked just perfectly pink inside , moist and lovely. Just picked it up with my hand and demolished it quickly. Hands got a quite greasy , really not sure where it came from.😬

Grilled Cauliflower with Black Taahini:
I have also liked cauliflower since i was kid. It is a very bland vegetable, but it has some subtle favor, whatover goes with it stands out like this black tahini. The permanganate gave a but of sweet kick.

Charcoal Octopus
Octopus is one i would order when i am not with Mr.W because he doesnt like it. I woukd like the octopus more char, maybe its just me cos i quite like burnt char 🤣

Lamb Rack with Pistachio Praline, Baby Tomatoes and Black Olives :
The lamb was ok but not too special. No gamy tasty, and it was quite fatty. I did try to eat some of the fat bit.

Starter stole the show tonight.

Amazingly, maybe this place is too new, if you google this place, all you can find is their official website. They havent invited any KOL or food bloggers for tasting. Amazing for a new restaurant. Maybe that also explained why it was a bit quiet on a Friday night.
