Spicy prawn guksu set, with deep fried spicy drumstick. So it was a cold windy day and I stepped into this Korean joint, expecting the noodles to be all annyeonghaseyo and I got bloody prawn mee with chilli paste. Warmed me up good, though. 3.6/5 Guksu Noodle House 3 Temasek…
Black Sesame Bingsu – red bean paste, powdered soybean Korean rice cakes, sesame powder and almond flakes on shaved milk. Like a grainy desert that miraculously comes alive from the nourishment of the milk poured from heaven – the dry sandy sesame powder becomes deliciously pasty, the red bean paste…
My Aromatic Prawn Noodle, dry with Tom Yum base and added mushrooms. Essentially springy instant noodle meets prawn cracker fries, annoyingly-shelled prawns and shrimpy chilli paste in a dimly lit Thai massage parlour. I piled on the green and red sliced chilli, mixed the chilli paste real nice with the…
Smoked Salmon Hash – pan roasted bacon and potato hash, cold smoked Norwegian salmon, soft-centred free range hen’s egg, basil dressing, baby spinach and grated parmesan. Essentially a tasty valentine to salt. 3.8/5 Sin Lee Foods Blk 4 Jalan Bukit Ho Swee #01-164 Singapore 162004
Banana beignets – fried-to-order cake-battered bananas served with condensed milk and freshly grated Parmesan. This banana boat (oh brother, you didn’t – Editor) was really goreng pisang putting on a Barbarella accent but not entirely convincing me with its Ang Moh intentions. Judging dem banana balls as goreng pisang, however,…
Garlicpeno pasta – pasta with garlic and Mexican pepper. Essentially meatless, greased up, highly fragrant and fairly tasty oral anaesthesia. 3.7/5 Mad For Garlic 3 Temasek Boulevard #02-300/301 Suntec City Mall Singapore 038983
Earl grey milk tea choux. Delightfully crumbly, like the baby boy of a croissant and cookie. The earl grey flavour was, unlike its matcha counterpart, dramatically strong and fragrant, like a Chanel No.5 for urbanite tea leaves. 3.7/5 Les Delices 333 Kreta Ayer Road #01-14 Singapore 080333
Buttermilk waffle with butter rum bananas and vanilla bean ice cream. The waffle was fluffy and tall like an Afghan Hound, whilst the bananas were nicely gooey and sweet. Loved the rum element, which added a naughty kick to the otherwise blank vanilla canvas. 3.7/5 Department of Caffeine 15 Duxton…
Basil sorbet, strawberries, sweet tomato, yuzu yogurt and black pepper meringue. The marquee name essentially tastes like a bitter and smooth ball of blended grass. The succulent strawberries and sweet tomatoes lend their sweetness to balance out the sorbet’s bitterness, while the yogurt was sour and ever so slightly tart.…
