Wu Xiang Pop from Lin Rooftop Bar – deep-fried popcorn chicken tossed in five spice powder and crispy Thai basil leaves. The popcorn chicken had the vapid personality of a $0.50 URA/HDB parking coupon, but was reasonably redeemed by the assertive sassiness of the spicy, powdery dip. 3.6/5 Lin Rooftop…
Reinterpreted Seafood Tom Yum Goong on ice from The East Bureau. Rich in oceanic flavour but light on feist, this mod glacial treat – with esteemed guests like abalone and salmon sashimi gracing the event – starts the proceedings on a clean, minimalist note. 3.7/5 The East Bureau 6 Raffles…
Gong tng Chinese peanut candy with peanut butter ice cream. Essentially a playful muah chee-esque dessert gone mucking with bittersweet chocolate on a nutty sugar futon. 3.7/5 Wild Rocket 10A Upper Wilkie Road Singapore 228119
Thai green curry pasta from Boufe Boutique Cafe – Thai green curry, grilled eggplant and seafood flambéed with white wine. Essentially a crossover project between Coco Ichibanya’s Lv. 1 curry and mee rebus. The seafood portion was happily generous, and the roasty-soft eggplant a welcome guest. 3.9/5 Boufe Boutique Cafe…
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…
Sparkling yuzu pie from Windowsill Pies – yuzu curd glazed with sweet ume gel, topped with white chocolate dollops. Essentially sweetly-tempered sour curd with a concealed pop-rocking oral surprise, whilst elsewhere the plum gel had a geisha’s gentleness and quiet devotion. 3.7/5 Windowsill Pies 95 Soo Chow Walk Singapore 575382
Anchovy rice balls from Masizzim Singapore. Essentially a feisty chilli padi-ikan bilis rice experience, with the mucky fun of sculpting and playing with balls – you get served a big bowlful of rice with gloves to do as you please – absolutely on the house. 3.8/5 This was a hosted…
Sriracha maple bacon, avocado and sourdough toast from Plonk. The bacon was like the wavy-haired nymph at the bar you knew was trouble when you walked in – chewy and an alluring BBQ powder-esque spicy at first, but eventually revealing itself to be insistently sticky and possessive. Elsewhere, the avocado…
