After last week’s spontaneous dinner at Elemental Next Door (E.N.D.), I couldn’t help but wanting to go back. Yesterday I casually mentioned to ktula let’s go back to E.N.D for dinner. He didn’t object to the idea.

We arrived at the restaurant to realize E.N.D. wasn’t open on Tuesday night. Instead, we went to Elemental @ Gasworks. We were seated at the bar where we could see the chef in action. The owner/host Phred brought 2 glasses of red wine for us. It was served warm and it was very delicious. He asked about our drink preferences. Minutes later, a 2nd glass of wine were served, this time chilled with ice cubes.

We were offered to order from the menu or the “surprise me” dinner option. We gladly took our chance and went for that rare chance to mix food, mystery, and enjoyment in one splendor dinning experience.

We had 5 courses and 3 desserts. Each dish was paired with a different glass of wine. Food was excellent, but what really made the experience superb was the perfect wine pairing with every dish. Some wines tasted blend at first. But when paired with the right food, the wine became aromatic and the taste was transformed. This was the first time I truly understand what wine pairing is about.

Another great night out at Elemental.
