Chicken Chop (with your choice of either black pepper or salted egg yolk sauce) from Murphy’s. Murphy’s 532 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 #01-2495 Singapore 560532
Murphy’s Platter (fish fingers, calamari tempura and crispy wings, with either salted egg or lemon mayo dip) from Murphy’s, a few stones’ throw away from Ang Mo Kio MRT. ⠀⠀ The fish fingers were revelatory, with the white and tender arrowtooth flesh possessing an exuberant sweetness and a thin skin…
Waffle with Hojicha ice cream from the newly-opened The Flourist along Tampines Street 81. The slightly glazed waffle possessed a random peppery savouriness whilst elsewhere the fragrantly assertive and thick earl grey caramel sauce, applied gratuitously onto the scoop of Hojicha ice cream, distracted from the bitter charms of the…
San Zar (haw flake) and White Rabbit (milk candy) sorbet/gelato on waffle from Non Entrée Desserts. The sour, berry-esque haw flake flavour lingers on your tongue like perfume on your clothes after an Abercrombie & Fitch outlet visit, and the gooey and insistently milky White Rabbit gelato possesses an almost…

Whilst the Potong-esque ice cream and thick paste represent the azuki faction with VJC-style flags-ahoy enthusiasm, the titular matcha teammates are demonstrably nonchalant, with the kitkat chunks being more milk than tea and…
Handcrafted Tart with Mandy-Go Sorbet (mandarin orange and mango) from Geometry. The mandarin orange and mango flavours were so passionately enmeshed in their amorous physicality that you can’t tell when either element starts and ends.
