Whether I am spooning a reduced bone jus over tenderloin or using a siphon to finish a dessert, every garnish has a specific purpose. I focus on achieving a balance of textures so that you experience the full story of the dish in a single, deliberate bite. In the world of modern European and Asian fusion, visual composition is the first step of the sensory journey. My plating philosophy is rooted in the idea that aesthetics should amplify, not obscure, the ingredients. When we prepare dishes like our Salmon Tartare, the plating involves layering textures, such as using pickled kohlrabi for crunch against the richness of the fish, and finishing with elements like a Dijon Mustard Crème Glacée. This approach ensures that the interplay of flavors is guided by the eye. Whether it is a perfectly cooked Magret of Duck arranged to showcase its rosé center or the assembly of a mille-feuille using a siphon for light, airy espuma, the process is precise and methodical. For my supper clubs in Bengaluru, I personally plate each course in front of the guests. This is not just for the spectacle. It is to explain the technique and the provenance of the ingredients, from the marigold leaves grown in our garden to the house-made sauces. If you are planning an event where the food needs to look as sophisticated as it tastes, I can help you curate a menu that balances high-end culinary technique with a warm, intimate atmosphere. ## About Oxalis Fine Dining I am Chef Clive Fernandes. For me, the kitchen is my studio and the plate is my canvas. I bring my training in modern European techniques and Asian flavours directly to your table, ensuring every dinner is a choreographed performance of taste and design.
