Roast pepper and chilli frittatas from Birdcage Bistro. Essentially the spicy omelette equivalent of receiving full marks for the MCQ section of a Primary Four science paper. 3.8/5 Birdcage Bistro 312 Old Birdcage Walk #01-12 Singapore 798485
Kaisen don from The Sushi Bar. The formidably girthed smorgasbord of raw ocean is guaranteed to stave off your sashimi craves for at least forty-six days, perhaps too efficiently – the cuts are on occasion remarkably trying on one’s teeth, as you will find yourself adjusting your in-mouth content to…
Aburi Kaisen Don from The Sushi Bar. Evoked the feels I had when I discovered that a Komodo Dragon didn’t breathe fire or fly. Only the scallop emerged from the searing process a radically improved goddess – elsewhere, while the seductive aroma of melted fish fat permeated the air, the…
Spanner chilli crab linguini with onsen egg from Wild Rocket. Essentially firm, full-bodied locks of linguini dressed in a wickedly spicy, gooily eggy and voluminously thick chilli crab sauce. Elsewhere, only some crabs turned up, but you know how these elite toolbox school kids are. 3.8/5 Wild Rocket 10A Upper…

Club Nasi Lemak from The Tiong Bahru Club Singapura – fragrant coconut rice served with chilli sambal accompanied with 2 pieces of Truck Stop Fried Chicken, seafood otah, sunny-side-up egg with fried anchovies and peanuts on the side. Unlike the travesty that was the Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls, this nasi…
“Ang Moh” Breakfast from Collective Brewers – salad, grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, chicken sausage, bacon, brioche and scrambled eggs. The juicy grilled mushrooms seem to have been partially cross-bred with enoki mushrooms, whilst elsewhere the bacon had a stern crunch, the scrambled eggs had a soft and buttery middle and the…
Espárragos y Gambas a la Plancha from My Little Spanish Place – grilled asparagus and prawns, fried egg and “salsa verde”. Essentially what you get if a European matronly chef decides to marry Chinese tze char and the Western concept of brunch. So simple and basic, yet so satisfying. 3.9/5…
Egg and truffle mousseline topped with caviar from Roots Kitchen & Bar. A shot of initial truffly saltiness, followed by a most egg-white heavy whipped cream experience. 3.9/5 Roots Kitchen & Bar 30 Dickson Road Singapore 209512
