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.

Bibik bouillabaisse with mussels, snapper and prawns from Epicurious. The stew was enormously flavourful with the robust life essence of presumably six hundred and seventy two fishies, with a playful spice feist and just a hint of coconut to give it a curryish tease. 4/5 This item is part of…
Claypot coconut tom yum soup from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe. Wildly different from its more sadistic Red Tom Yum Soup sibling on the menu. The tom yum soup was robustly spicy yet at the same time sweet and not too milky, and I enjoyed the uncommon inclusion of coconut slices, which…
Thai walking catfish with spicy lemon soup from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe. The spicy lemon soup was suitably sharp and spicy, and should sufficiently satisfy all heat-seekers.

Lobster cappuccino & brandy with juniper foam from Violet Herbs. Essentially a thick, creamy and savoury lobster coffee which leaves a lingering layer of lobster wealth on your lips. 3.7/5 [This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Violet Herbs.] Violet Herbs 81 Tras Street Singapore 079020

Andong JJimdak 안동찜닭 – braised chicken leg, root vegetables, and glass noodles with Andong spicy soy sauce. The chicken may be softer and chewier than a baby’s bottom (does this mean you go around gnawing baby butts? – Editor) but the real star is the gravy, which is comforting like…
Red Tom Yum Soup. Like Willy Wonka’s Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum, this soup morphs from form to form while it swishes in your mouth, all within seconds – it starts off as piquant tomato bisque, then becomes classic spicy tom yum soup, but in the final few seconds it…
