Compressed Rum Infused Pineapple with alfalfa sprouts, vanilla ice cream and gula melaka drizzle from Feedlot Steakhouse Bar and Grill. The titular pineapple steak was sweet, juicy and really thick – you can convincingly knife and fork it as you would beef steak and role-play as a very glamorous and…
French toast breakfast from The Laneway Market – fluffy eggy brioche French toast, bacon, chicken chipolatas, baked beans and salad. The french toast was fantastic, thoroughly eggy and one of the eggiest I’ve ever tried. The chipolatas were tender and hotdog-esque, whilst the bacon was like a crispy pig cracker.…
Mille-feuille with strawberries, strawberry sorbet and strawberry consomme from Henri Charpentier. Essentially tai yang bing (太陽餅) gone all Elizabeth Bathory – y’know, the Countess who bathed in her servant girls’ blood to sustain her youthful appearance. The consomme is pure, thick, sweet strawberry goodness, and the mille-feuille is truly spoon-cuttable…
Matcha Cream Choux. The choux puff was crumbly and sweet, and you have the choice of either enjoying the green tea flavour by having both creams together for a milky finish, or going for the unadulterated powdery bitterness of the dark green matcha cream on its own if you’re feeling…
Salted Caramel Pretzel Cheesecake from Little Hiro. A dense, burly American-style cheesecake which must be shared as it probably constitutes a very heavy lunch for two sixteen year old girls. Loved the saltiness of the pretzels! 3.5/5 [Tasting courtesy of Little Hiro.] Little Hiro 559 Bukit Timah Road Singapore 269695
Mushroom aglio olio from Oberstrasse. The amount and nauseating pungency of the cheese (probably enough to spook even the most undiscerning and itchy-mouthed mouse) must immediately be dealt with, and I did – off it went into a wad of tissue paper. The pasta was well and evenly seasoned, being…
Banana Flower Paap (pudding) – a light and creamy crossover between luscious banana pulp and soft spongey cake, topped with cookie crumbs in an ickle flower pot. 3.8/5 Banana Tree SG 26 Keong Saik Road Singapore 089133
Spam fries with curry mayo. The piglet rectangles are reliably tasty indulgences, made a bajillion times better by the curry mayo which is essentially gentle yet thick mayonnaise making sweet love with Maggi curry powder. 3.9/5 P.S. Check out the cool “live” electronic Likes counter! [Tasting courtesy of Little Hiro.]…
Chicken karaage ramen burger. Essentially the love child of a female Singaporean-Japanese ramen and a male American hairy-legged burger who goes for spin classes at the gym. The ramen patties tasted like an interesting crossover between mee goreng and eggy carrot cake, while the chicken karaage was tender and juicy,…
