Welcome Spring at Grand Park Orchard with Mitzo Restaurant & Bar's new seasonal menus, cleverly infused with delicate floral touches that blossom on the palate. The best part? You can pair their carefully tailored Ode to Spring menus with some unique and artisanal cocktails. Grand Park Orchard Mitzo Restaurant & Bar - Ode to Spring Menu - Cocktails

Available now through 30 June 2016, Executive Head Chef Nicky Ng presents two, light yet satisfying 6-course set menus featuring edible flowers. I've dined at Mitzo a couple of times, and I do believe this has been the most enjoyable yet.

Grand Park Orchard Mitzo Restaurant & Bar - Ode to Spring Menu - Floral dim sum platter

Highlights include their Floral Dim Sum Platter of jasmine-infused Xiao Long Bao, a scrumptious Baby Abalone & Pork 'Siew Mai' Dumping, and—my favourite from the trio—Butterfly Pea Shrimp Dumpling with an unexpected refreshing fruity twist from a partially concealed lychee 'pearl'.

Grand Park Orchard Mitzo Restaurant & Bar - Ode to Spring Menu - Double-boiled Chrysanthemum pork ribs and clam soup

Also delicious is the Double-boiled Chrysanthemum Pork Ribs & Clam Soup. Its floral fragrance, underlined by appreciated hints of bitterness, marries together dulcet seafood notes of clams with fork-tender pork ribs.

Grand Park Orchard Mitzo Restaurant & Bar - Ode to Spring Menu - Zucchini flower tempura stuffed with wasabi shrimp

I was pleasantly surprised with chef's redition of zucchini flower. Here, it is served stuffed with wasabi shrimp, before almost the whole stalk is coated in an extremely light batter then fried to a wonderful crisp.

Grand Park Orchard Mitzo Restaurant & Bar - Ode to Spring Menu - Poached fine noodles with crab meat in superior saffron sauce

And instead of ending off with a heavy food coma-induing carb dish for main course, the Ode to Spring II menu delivers a bowl of Poached Fine Noodles with Crab Meat swimming in a lip-smacking, superior saffron sauce.
