Signature veal chop parmigiana with classic red sauce and melting mozzarella from Angeleno. The tender and well-salted baby cow, which was literally smoking hot inside out, may have been the secret offspring of a loving pig and a sultry chicken from a steamy barnyard tryst one thunderous night, whilst elsewhere…
Full English Breakfast from Flutes Restaurant – fried hen’s egg, smoked bacon, housemade baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toasted sourdough. The glistening meat rod played it like a really socialite and Greenwood Avenue-resident Sausage McMuffin patty whilst elsewhere the beans kept things Zumba tight and the salty bacon provided a crisp…
Different textures of beetroot, pumpernickel and linseed emulsion from Bacchanalia’s vegan and vegetarian course menu. The meaty beetroot tartare, which bided its time before revealing its marshy earthbound charms, dropped it like it was hot with a mystical wasabi-esque blaze. 3.8/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Bacchanalia. Bacchanalia…
Aged carnaroli risotto rice, fermented coconut, Thai inspired salad from Bacchanalia’s vegan and vegetarian course menu. Despite possessing not a smidgen of meat, the coconutty and wetly muifan-like risotto had a rich and robust seafood-esque flavour, with an urgent sourness and a piquant gingerly slant. 4.2/5 This was a hosted…
Matcha Oreo Tart from Bloomsbury Bakers. The green tea – simultaneously milky-sweet and smoulderingly bitter – was as thick and rich as a millionaire hippo, whilst elsewhere the tart base had the defensive valour of a mid-tier knight. 3.4/5 Bloomsbury Bakers 30 Bendemeer Road #01-889 Singapore 330030
Bara-Chirashi Don from Sushiro, a humble 12-seater Japanese concept situated within Thomson Plaza. The generous portion of the happily-sized and uber-fresh seafood cubes will leave you in a state of suspended sashimi bliss and the pearly rice-to-seafood ratio was magical. Elsewhere, the marinate was a glorious cross between Teppei Syokudo’s…
Sauced Padi Garlic Chicken from Oven & Fried Chicken. Essentially sweet Korean fried chicken caught in flagrante with Two Chef Eating Place’s famous drunken cockles. Garlic dominates the conversation, whilst elsewhere those equipped with Mario-esque levels of evasion can actually cleanly avoid the vicious scarlet traps without any consequence. 4.2/5…
Grilled octopus, crusty pork jowl, buttered mash potato, smoked Spanish paprika oil from Pool Grill’s “Flavours of Spain” dinner set menu. Whilst the octopus offered a good manly crunch, the pork jowl was a revelation – the fatty skin and even fattier soft, tender flesh have completely fused, existing in…
Confit duck leg with five spice caramel, cucumber and waffles from Cheek by Jowl. The decidedly Body Combat-esque and delectably charred duck leg shredded with a most effortless poise, the vivacious and refreshing greens tarted things up Vietnamese-style and the earnestly understated, crispy and buttery waffles launched a warning salvo…
