Omi Gyu from Boruto’s Hidden Gems of Kansai menu – omi wagyu from Shiga, smoked & chopped with scallions, shio konbu in tataki style. The luxuriously smooth and chewy wagyu had the glorious, unbridled fattiness of a BMT Eagle Company recruit, with the tarty avocado mayo serving as an appealing,…
A.L.T. from East 8 – avocado and lemon on yellowfin tuna chunks. You will gobble this chee cheong fun-esque delight like a famished cat – the thickly gooey, sweet and citrusy avocado pairs marvellously with the slickly marinated yellowfin tuna chunks, whilst elsewhere the sesame fragrance pops with more assertive…
Chilled avocado, ginger soup, poached yabbies & fresh radish from Open Farm Community. The yabbies had the supple flesh of a Hot Flow Yoga enthusiast, whilst the chilled soup managed to be simultaneously creamy and refreshingly light. 3.9/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Open Farm Community.

The avocado dutifully serves as vest to the oceanically fresh, crunchy and voluptuously Sofia Vergara-esque lobster chunks, while elsewhere the baby fish eggs add to oral texturality (”口感”) without unnecessarily upping the salt quotient. 4/5 This was…

The Great Red Ocean – Drambuie, Southern Comfort, Smirnoff Vodka, lime juice, cranberry juice, cinnamon, mint. The first thing I realised is that Capri by Fraser doesn’t stinge or pussyfoot when it comes to alcohol. Disappointingly, the lobster cocktail does not consist of murdered crustacean mush, merely a chunkful of…
Mitzo special barbecued pork. The skin of this amazing piggylicious delight must have been separated at birth from crème brûlée. I doodled a diagram in my notes whilst eating this – it was a circle labelled “middle” within a box with area outside the circle shaded and labelled “melts in…
Over-The-Top Shakes from the rebranded The Benjamins at Forum – (from left) Nutella Banana, Old School Vanilla and Coffee Avocado. The big afro-ed Scary Spice (you need to update your pop culture references – Editor) is all attention-seeking with its bright hair dye, pink accessory and Nicki Minaj-esque get-up but…
Ocean – scallop, sea lettuce, blue mussel, avocado. Essentially a high-concept and delectable art installation. The avocado was remarkably smooth and creamy, with a texture comparable to that of lotus paste in paus. Elsewhere, the scallop was admirably cooked, the mussel and chorizo were slightly spicy and the sea lettuce…
