Spicy Tuna Don from The Horse’s Mouth. The smooth, gently numbing sauce wraps its coquettishly spicy feather boa around the contours of the cool, clean minced tuna – and indeed, the contours of your inner lips – with professional pleasure strictly on its agenda. 4/5 The Horse’s Mouth 583 Orchard…
Roussillon White Peach Tart from Tarte by Cheryl Koh. Tarte by Cheryl Koh 1 Scotts Road #01-12 Shaw Centre Singapore 228208
Mee Tai Tak with Century Egg from the newly-opened Now Noodles+, situated within Square 2 in Novena. Provides an oral experience akin to Char Kway Teow in a provocative dirty tango with Hong Kong XO Carrot Cake. 3.7/5 ⠀ This was a hosted meal, courtesy of NOW Noodles +. Now…
Scallop Somen (fish roe, ebi, scallop and salted egg yolk sauce) from Janice Wong Singapore.

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…
Matcha Pancake (azuki bean paste, fresh berries, azuki ice cream, vanilla sauce) from Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters. Whilst the Potong-esque ice cream and thick paste represent the azuki faction with VJC-style flags-ahoy enthusiasm, the titular matcha teammates are demonstrably nonchalant, with the kitkat chunks being more milk than tea and…
