Fish head curry from Na Na Homemade Curry. More piquant and clear than your usual coconut-heavy curries, with the generous portion of taupok playing sponge rather admirably. The fish head itself is acceptably sized for its price ($18), whilst elsewhere the soft yam cubes make for a nice starchy diversion.…
Aburi salmon belly don from DSTLLRY. Once inside the safe embrace of your mouthly cavern, the seared salmon slices seem to disintegrate into distinct layers – an external fatty and oily layer instantly disengages from the virtually liquid core of supple salmon flesh, which itself almost immediately melts on your…
Bara Chirashi from DSTLLRY. Like a sultry, sexy graduate from the Teppei Syokudo school of marinated bara chirashi who deftly avoids all the saltiness pitfalls of its contemporaries and keeps things really tight and fresh. Oooh la la. 4.3/5 DSTLLRY 21 Media Circle #01-01 Infinite Studios Singapore 138562
Black Glutinous Coconut Mousse Cake from Bakersfield – steam baked black glutinous sponge, pumpkin creamux, coconut panna cotta, lime sable. While a vertical fork-dive nets you a rather watery coconut experience, patient exploration of the individual layers will reward – you get to better know and understand the cake beyond mere…
Pistachio Strawberry Tart from Bakersfield. The tart base was curiously more sultana cake (!) than crust while the pistachio cream, instead of being overtly explicit with shoving its nuts all up our grill, was a fluffy whipped dream of a leader, gentleman and bilingual scholar of high integrity and robust…
Caramelized apple mousse cake from Bakersfield – creme fraiche sponge, caramelized apples, caramel creamux, apple mousse and hazelnut crunch. The hazelnut crunch evokes memories of Ferraro Rocher, whilst the apple pie-esque chunks hidden within fulfil the apple requirements promised by its name. 3.6/5 Bakersfield 2 Fusionopolis Way #01-06 Innovis @…
Peanut cake from Tête-à-Tête Café. Essentially mee chiam kueh (peanut pancake), peanut butter and crunchy/gooey muah chee (glutinous rice balls coated with peanut and sugar) having a playful romp in a hyper-delicious ménage à trois. The muah chee bits were to die for, and this was amazing. 4.1/5 P.S. The peanut…
Customised Bacon Eggs Breakfast from Tête-à-Tête Café with added sausages and mushrooms. The bacon eggs were quite delicious, fusing together harmoniously such that with each bite, you taste both the egg (yolk) and that familiar, reassuring bacon fragrance and saltiness. You can tell with one bite of both the pork sausage…
Teriyaki Chicken Aglio Olio. The enjoyably sweet teriyaki chicken went surprisingly well with the salty spiciness of the pasta, and I was sufficiently distracted from the fact that chicken is merely the kept woman of aglio olio whilst his prawny soulmate was away for work. I wanted to say that…
