Jumbo Prawns and Smoked Pancetta from &SONS. Essentially sweet and mildly oinky jumbo prawns which possess a certain home-cooked charm, the only difference being that they taste like they were prepared using Sixth Avenue oils. 3.7/5 &Sons (SONS Bacaro) 20 Cross Street #01-19 China Square Central Singapore 048422
Seafood Cioppino from Two Tall Trees – mussels, fish, squid, prawns & special herbs in a tomato broth. Comforting, humble fare, with the tomato broth possessing the gentle touch of a nurturing grey-bunned granny with chopsticks in her hair and wearing grey motif overalls. 3.5/5 Two Tall Trees 14B Kensington…
Chilled avocado, ginger soup, poached yabbies & fresh radish from Open Farm Community. The yabbies had the supple flesh of a Hot Flow Yoga enthusiast, whilst the chilled soup managed to be simultaneously creamy and refreshingly light. 3.9/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Open Farm Community.

Seafood aglio olio from Kins Restaurant – tiger prawns, sea scallop, fresh squid, Japanese konbu and spaghetti with crustacean oil.

The lobster was plump and sweet whilst the well-done chicken had the most happily crispy skin, and…
