Twice cooked kurobuta pork from The Disgruntled Chef – black truffle barley risotto, fennel, shavings, soubise. Essentially a Phua Chu Kang-haired pork cutlet with a delectably crispy scalp and strong torso, resting on a mattress of truffley crunchy barley. 3.7/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of The Disgruntled Chef.…
Maine lobster and chicken pot roast with field mushrooms, fried quail eggs and parsley from The Disgruntled Chef. If crustaceans and fowls haven’t been dating before, they certainly should start exploring the possibilities. The lobster was plump and sweet whilst the well-done chicken had the most happily crispy skin, and…
Chocolate croquette from The Disgruntled Chef – coffee jelly, Sumatra coffee cream, Kahlua. Essentially an epic cinematic romance interpreted as a classy dessert – you have the aromatic and potent Kahlua cream as well as the arrestingly gao liquorice-esque bitter coffee jelly setting a decidedly adult tone, the dessert is symbolically…
Prosecco panna cotta with morello cherry and chocolate sauce from In ITALY. The dessert equivalent of French-kissing a pasty chunk of almond paste who has had four glasses of wine and not yet chewed on any Mentos. 3.7/5 In ITALY 38 Craig Road Singapore 089676
Zabaglione (The Italian Viagra) from In ITALY – Moscato sabayon with crumble and peach sorbet. Essentially thick, warm, wine-soaked bread mush that could have been whipped personally by Aphrodite herself. Sloshed enough a dessert to sufficiently satisfy hard up (ahem – Editor) degenerate drunks. 4/5 In ITALY 38 Craig Road…
Cacciucco from In ITALY – seafood casserole with lobster, garoupa, prawns, squid, imported mussels, clams, tomatoes and chilli. The broth flavour was essentially clams dancing naked with tomatoes under the moonlight, whilst the assortment of seafood on hand was generous in portion, varied and tasty enough to make me a…
Orecchiette from In ITALY – forest mushrooms sauce and crispy parma ham. Essentially what happens when macaroni-esque pasta and nicely salty bacon bits (with a few random ‘roomies) party it up in a creamy butter factory. 3.8/5 In ITALY 38 Craig Road Singapore 089676
Squid ink spaghetti “alla Singaporeana” from In ITALY – prawns, garlic, extra virgin oil and chilli. Surprisingly generous in its prawn serving and the pasta does what it says on the tin just fine, but the intriguing moniker oversold things – for alla Singaporeana, this could definitely do with some…
Panzanella di Aragosta from In ITALY – Canadian lobster with Tuscan bread and tomato salad. Essentially like a zombified Frankenstein lobster salad – it’s cold, it’s wet, it’s clammy, the vegetables squirt cold veggie juice upon bite – but in a surprisingly pleasing way. 3.8/5 <strong>In ITALY</strong> 38 Craig Road Singapore…
