Kuvo
a lifestyle concept by The Connoisseur Concerto ('tcc') group.
Tucked in the second floor or Orchard Shopping Centre, this
previously unheard of establishment has been gaining positive reviews
recently. It is so mysterious, you will hardly notice its existence
unless someone told you about it. Which was the case for Little Devil
and I.

Kuvo are
separated into different sections. Ambrosia I & II are the main
dining area. While Vine Lounge and Elixir Bar is the place for high
tea and chill out, where you can check out what's happening down in
Orchard Road. Kuvo cater for lunch, high tea, dinner, lounge and bar.

We went
there for Afternoon Tea Buffet ($35++) It is a combination of English
High Tea together with local flavours as well. From the buffet line,
there are savoury pastries and spreads, Parma ham, cheese, local
favourites such as beef rendang, ayam buah keluak, beef stew, daily
soup and sweet pastries and shots. On top of the buffet line, they
will also served you three tier of assorted “nibbles”.

While the
ladies focus on the catching up and chatting, I proceed to dissect
what are on offer here. Started with the soup of the day, Mushroom
Soup. It was creamy, think and robust. There are some bits of blended
mushrooms in it, so very acceptable.

Next was
of course the Parma Ham. One of our favourite item. Thinly shaved and
goes well with everything and anything. The best part for LD, there
was some gherkin and pickles for her enjoyment. Excellent.

We then
dig into the three tier high tea tapas / sandwich combination. Each
of the items are in bite size, tasty and flavourful. The cherry
mozzarella and smoked salmon canapés are delightful. The beet root
rice paper roll has the raw earthy taste which not many people will
like. While the prawns salad and fried wanton are fresh and crispy.
Mini burger and mini ciabatta were delicious and the de-constructed
otah in a jar gave it an Asian spicy lemak flavour.

As there
is a little bit of tummy space left, I decided to try their cooked
food. Beef rendang, ayam buah keluak and beef stew. The meat of ayam
buah keluak is a little harder compare to what I like. However the
two beef dishes are just awesome and melts in your mouth.

For the
finale, I went for their mini tarts, crème burlee and tiramisu. The
mini tarts are thin and crumbly. My favourite is the chocolate mini
tarts as the fillings are light, creamy but not too sweet. The crème
burlee is good, but it can be better if the caramel thicker. The
modern version of tiramisu are not to my liking.

If you
like what you eat, you can do some shopping from the mini gift shop
on the way out. They also have selection of cakes in a whole or
slices to take away. The service here is excellent and very
professional. They are well dressed almost to the extend of fine
dining service staff.

Overall,
we really enjoy the Afternoon High Tea buffet here. We feels that
during the high tea, their savoury dishes are better compare to their
sweet dishes. The parma ham, beef dishes and three tier high tea
small bites are the highlight of the meal. Definitely a place to go
in Orchard Road. Cheers!!
