Tenka Special Tendon Set from the newly-opened Tempura Tsukiji Tenka, one of the 16 food concepts at Japan Food Town in Wisma Atria. The limp, flaccid tempura skin involved would fail to give anyone a rise, while elsewhere the prawns had the fatigue levels of an ‘O’-Level Sec Four student…
Crispy Roast Pork with Chilli Oil Dip from Sum Yi Tai. The salty skin grudgingly crackled thus fulfilling its titular obligation, but the meat itself had the tired toughness of a sixty-three year old roast meat stall auntie, and the Hong Kong cafe-esque chilli and mustard only serve as coarse…
Nagono pork rack served with braised cabbage and grape compote from Roots Kitchen & Bar. While the huge raisins were juicily rummy, the pig in question was probably formerly in a morbidly obese company in BMT and routinely given extras for defiantly playing punk and dodging exercise regimes, being so…
Kaisendon (Deluxe) set from Ken Japanish Restaurant. From the urghsome half-cooked egg that straddled the texture between half-boiled egg and cooked egg for Maggi Mee, to the two octopus sashimi slices which were so unmanageable that I felt like that guy in Korean thriller Oldboy having to swallow the gooey…
Raspberry Earl Grey from SnackScape. If Q Bread and Rasapura Masters had a collaboration, their baby might turn out to be something like this. 2.8/5 Super Loco 27 West Coast Highway WestWay #01-01 Singapore 117867
Negitoro don from Oceans of Seafood. Rather appalling – the negitoro was emotionally distant and clumpy, the hard egg yolk with its remnants of white felt like something constipationally crapped out, and accessing the rice via the spring onion required NSF-jungle training levels of forest bashing. I can’t even. 2.6/5…
Bean powder snow bingsu from Twins. Essentially a blend of muah chee, rhino skin and O’ma Spoon-esque snowflakey milk ice, but instead created using HL milk and a 3D printer. 2.9/5 Twins 7 Craig Road Singapore 089667
Bliss from Yoğart – yogurt with choice of coco bianco sauce, biscuit crumbs and various fruits served with a wooden spoon. Essentially yogurt with that familiar woody taste of ice cream stick that you get during the ending moments of a bar of Paddle Pop or similar cheap ice cream….repeated twenty-five times…
