Panna cotta from Kite – pink peppercorn, strawberries, coriander & coconut. The peppercorn in the panna cotta is the equivalent of finding a baby hamster while in the restroom – you would be pleased to have seen it and would coo at it a little, but thereafter you would scratch…
Swicy Hot Chick from Black Nut – sweet and spicy gochujang chilli wings. Essentially chicken wings coated in a sticky, carrot cake chilli-esque sauce that will cheekily (chickily?) find its way all over your mouth. 3.6/5 Black Nut 2 Emerald Hill Singapore 229287
