Saveur Art Fest Part IV - A Walk in the Forest - Mangalica Pork Belly Risotto

Now we take a short detour into the realm of proper food as we briefly glance through some of the main courses of Saveur Art @ ION Orchard, Singapore. 

The main courses were each amazingly good, but relatively less exotic in my opinion. The only more unusual thing I wanted to highlight was the barley risotto in the mangalica pork belly dish. Crunchy hazelnuts, wild mushrooms, crisp black fungus, and possibly some complementary oil accompanied the smooth but chewy barley, making for an awesome woody and earthy experience with a medley of textures, like a walk in a misty mystical forest. Even the overall colours fit in with the theme. You can see the risotto to the right in this picture of the dish.

I won't be commenting on the rest of the main course pictures, so I'll just post the menu and title the rest of the images. The two dishes I speak of are highlighted with an amber dot (which I added) to the left of the menu entry.
