Salted egg yolk pasta from the criminally underrated The Rawr Kitchen. The curry leaf-fragrant pasta wears its richly thick and creamy salted egg coat with gangster swagger as it rakishly toes without ever crossing the line of cloying pastiness, playing like a carbonara with chilli crab’s thick and eggy texturality.…
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…
Mee Tai Tak with Century Egg from the newly-opened Now Noodles+, situated within Square 2 in Novena. Provides an oral experience akin to Char Kway Teow in a provocative dirty tango with Hong Kong XO Carrot Cake. 3.7/5 ⠀ This was a hosted meal, courtesy of NOW Noodles +. Now…
Tendon Spicy Flavour from Tempura Kohaku, a new Japanese concept at Suntec City. The sweet, saucy tendon clubs you in manner of vicious seal-hunting Canadians with a smorgasbord of various tempura (chicken, squid, vegetables and prawns etc) so plentiful that you would be left feeling guilty and phat, while elsewhere…
黑 Rice (squid ink rice, garlic, mentaiko mayo, sous vide egg and PH fried chicken) from Paddy Hills. The earnest chicken couldn’t help but be completely overshadowed by the greasy, comforting and scrumptious rice, which possessed the delectable smokiness of a Simon Road kopitiam wok. 3.9/5 ⠀ This was a…
British Breakfast Platter (choice of eggs with chorizo, roasted tomato, streaky bacon, tater tots, sautéed cremini, toast) from The Clueless Goat in Novena. Whilst the toast had the dour stoniness of a condominium showcase pamphlet distributor, the other breakfast elements showcased a Mavis Tutorial Centre-esque earnest industriousness. 3.6/5 The Clueless…
Venison sirloin flambéed with Suntory Kakubin Kuro whisky at your table, served with coriander salsa verde, broccolini and sautéed cherry tomatoes from Arteastiq. Possessing the taboo yumminess of a strict yet attractive discipline master, the chewy and roasty venison sirloin tantalised with its decidedly inappropriate naughty squirts of dizzying alcohol…
Honey Shibuya Toast with Orh Nee and Mango Lime Ice Cream from Double Scoops. The toast had a sturdy fortress protecting its decidedly bready and restrainedly buttered insides, while elsewhere the orh nee was a rich, creamy yam marvel and the mango lime was notably more former than latter, being…
Brussel Sprouts from Fu Lin Bar & Kitchen – bacon, extra virgin oil, chives. Whilst the brussels sprouts played it like crunchy and very Chinese-seasoned kailan, the bacon fell short of feeling like such, coming across more like salted pork that lacked confidence and a sense of humour. 3.7/5 Fu…
