Dumplings Italiano from Takumen. Essentially a baby dumpling pizza, with the internal mozzarella cheese having the chewy bounciness of a sausage. 3.6/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Takumen. Takumen 66 Circular Road Singapore 049420
Kimakari gyoza from Takumen. Essentially a quail egg-headed and heavily pregnant xiao long bao which erupts a powdery, Myojo-esque Japanese curry. 3.8/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Takumen. Takumen 66 Circular Road Singapore 049420
Green Curry Gelato with Sticky Rice from Gin Khao. Essentially cold, spicy green curry paired with pulut hitam-esque black glutinous rice, and quite the exhilarating, Indian-tinged dive into savoury dessertdom. You will finish the serving not quite sure if you had just eaten a dessert, and the meal will feel…
Stir-fried squid with runny salted egg from Gin Khao. Truly one of the best salted egg yolk items I have ever tasted. Instead of slathering the soft and chewy squid with aggressively-flavoured thick, pasty salted egg yolk goo as most others would do, the approach here was to leave the salted…

The very wet bee hoon strides in with an unabashedly fiesty and peppery sass, taking absolutely no prisoners and instantly triggering ooohs of ardourous appreciation and approval from my dining companions. But for the fact that prawns beat clams any day, this would…
Claypot coconut tom yum soup from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe. Wildly different from its more sadistic Red Tom Yum Soup sibling on the menu. The tom yum soup was robustly spicy yet at the same time sweet and not too milky, and I enjoyed the uncommon inclusion of coconut slices, which…
Thai walking catfish with spicy lemon soup from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe. The spicy lemon soup was suitably sharp and spicy, and should sufficiently satisfy all heat-seekers. The flames just kept on going and going, so you get the soup piping hot throughout the meal! However, the soup somehow lacked a certain…
Roasted Duck from Four Seasons. The tender duck tasted like it had used a good and expensive moisturiser during its living days while its fatty and saggy skin soaked up the memorably soy-intense and majorly slurpsome sauce wonderfully well. I was surprised by the random stray cabbage slices hidden below,…
