Vegan maccheroni pasta (portobello bolognese gratin, bechamel) from Open Door Policy. Open Door Policy 19 Yong Siak Street Singapore 168650
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…
Steamed Cod stuffed with Mushrooms and Water Chestnuts in Paper Roll from Jiang-Nan Chun. Essentially a light, juice-cleansed and yoga-performing deconstructed Chinese soya glace fish bear-hugged by a chewy, fleshy Vietnamese rice paper roll creature. 3.9/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Jiang-Nan Chun.

Truffle soba from Two Bakers. The soba was made appealingly salty and fragrant by the sauce and seasoning with the truffle being as light as a mynah’s roadside abandoned feather with its touch, never being too heavy-handed with its usually militant agenda. Elsewhere, the succulent portobello mushroom squirted its juices…

The waifish pasta seemed to have slathered salted buttery all over its slithery body before sliding down a smoking chimney to join its thick, crunchy mushroom friends at the other end. 3.9/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy…
Pasta A La Funghi from Kins Restaurant – linguine with button mushroom, shiitake mushroom and white wine. The firm shiitake mushrooms had a most delightful juicy and almost creamy succulence, their earthy essence and alluring pheremones permeating the plateful of springy pasta with the efficiency of gases in an enclosed…
Halibut en Papillote from The Halia (Raffles Hotel) – sushi rice, wakame, shiitake, mirin broth, shallot butter, truffle aioli. The sweet, tender halibut soaked in a rich, almost creamy Chinese-esque broth, whilst enoki mushrooms and broccoli were on hand for crunch and (along with the sushi rice) Asian cheerleader duties.…
Mushroom & Prawn Aglio Olio from Two Tall Trees. The wet pasta, whose exit and towelling off after its peppery spice bath may have been premature, evoked a slight feel of Chinese cooking, whilst elsewhere the prawns browse the top posts on #igprawns wistfully, wondering if they can ever be…
