Her innovative culinary style has earned quite a following with dishes like the inventive Laksa Escargot, a dish that defines Chef Michelle Adrillana's unconventional style.

And Chef Michelle Adrillana does not hold back on flavors. The sharp notes of the classic laksa bring a flavorful burst to the palate rounded out by the nutty notes of the plump and succulent escargot and elegantly smoothened by butter. A layer of soothing heat completes the flavors. 

A classic dish is given the playfully unique UnFrench Bistro touch, pairing perfectly with a refreshingly crisp white wine. Don't forget to mop up the rich butter with a piece of crusty bread for another burst of richness.

The new Laing Lobster Thermidor is Chef Michelle Adrillana's own inspired take on the traditional seafood Thermidore with a whole lobster tail gently laid on a mound of local laing. 

From the succulent lobster tail draped in cheese and the savory richness of the local laing with its gentle and soothing mild heat simmered in coconut cream, the Laing Lobster Thermidor by Chef Michelle Adrillana is pure, unrestrained and unapologetic richness on a plate. Each component complements the other in a delicately balanced weave for another unique dish. The fresh and clean notes of the lobster are kicked up by the bold nutty flavors of the laing and smoothened by the creamy cheese for an elegant finish.

A side of steamed rice is served with the Laing Lobster Thermidor, a nice touch paired with the laing to complete the dish.
