Lemon parsley tiger prawn from East 8. Whilst the prawns were undeniably happily pregnant, the matrimony between oily butter and citrusy tang may cause the conservatives to clutch their pearls, whilst the price tag ($19) would likely inspire a goldfish eye effect. 3.5/5 East 8 10 Coleman Street #01-21/22, Grand…
Portobello Fries from East 8 – crispy truffle portobello mushroom fries with roasted garlic aioli. Marvellously scrumptious – the truffle component kept things as gentle as a hawker centre ceiling fan, whilst the delectably salty and plump mushroom fries’ unshakeably high levels of water retention was to our benefit. 4.1/5…
Seabass with lobster bisque, curry cauliflower puree, dehydrated cauliflower and horse radish pea puree from Dibs. The wonderfully well-cooked seabass had a lightly salted skin, and while the sour pea mush may possibly cause veggie-fearing young children to produce a similar looking substance, the Chinese curry vegetable-esque cauliflower puree was…
Lychee prawn from Lin Rooftop Bar – chopped tiger prawns sautéed with garlic and stuffed in whole lychee, served on a bed of savoury tomato concasse sauce. The lychees wrap their angel wings around the happily garlicky prawns like a possessive crazy ex-girlfriend, positively smothering the prawns with sweet, sweet…
Wu Xiang Pop from Lin Rooftop Bar – deep-fried popcorn chicken tossed in five spice powder and crispy Thai basil leaves. The popcorn chicken had the vapid personality of a $0.50 URA/HDB parking coupon, but was reasonably redeemed by the assertive sassiness of the spicy, powdery dip. 3.6/5 Lin Rooftop…
Nori squid with sriracha lemon foam and yuzu mayo from Dibs Restaurant Singapore. The outrageously addictive sriracha lemon foam – a droplet of the Pringles BBQ powder-esque elixir delivers a coquettish jab to the tongue – was as aggressive in its entrapment tactics as primary six girls are with their…
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
Sticky Spicy Wings from 20F Specialty Coffeehouse. Essentially chicks born out of black pepper and Korean gochujang wedlock. 3.7/5 20F Specialty Coffeehouse 20 Foch Road Singapore 209261
Wakame & romaine salad from Open Door Policy – hamachi sashimi, tomatoes, onion & miso dressing. The hamachi slices were moist, supple and delectably oiled, with a thickness so bitable and substantial that you can club your friends’ faces with these marvellous and literally yellow tails, and elsewhere the wakame…
