Kaisendon (Deluxe) set from Ken Japanish Restaurant. From the urghsome half-cooked egg that straddled the texture between half-boiled egg and cooked egg for Maggi Mee, to the two octopus sashimi slices which were so unmanageable that I felt like that guy in Korean thriller Oldboy having to swallow the gooey…
CY Burger from Chef Yamashita – lady finger sponge with brown sugar mousse and fresh fruits. Despite the cake sporting a rather Vietnamesey hat, the combination of fruits and smothering cream is decidedly Japanese, with the gula melaka-esque mousse giving the burger cake a touch of SG50 sophistication. 3.6/5 Chef…
Special Tendon from Ginza Tendon Itsuki – onsen egg, shrimp, chicken and mixed vegetable tempura (shiitake mushroom, pumpkin, corn and long beans) on rice drizzled with a sweet and savoury sauce. The onsen egg provided surprise and amusement and the various tempura elements were lightly battered and suitably pleasurable –…
Banana Nutella gelato in a liquid chocolate-filled cone from Churn Creamery. The gelato must be a psychic Pokémon/dark mage because the experience felt like a disorienting confusion spell was cast – it tastes like both banana and Nutella together and separately at the same time (if that makes any sense).…
Curry Prawn Risotto from The Wicked Garlic. The six prawns had the girth of the ridiculously muscled men that sashay out of the yoga studio/rock climbing wall room next to Brawn & Brains, whilst the risotto and its spicy Indian mystique remind you (in a most fond and complimentary way)…
Ma Jie’s Indulgence chilli crab pasta from The Quarters. The chef must have been a former mathematician, distributor or similar as both the sweet and ever so slightly spicy sauce as well as the generous portion of crab chunks are evenly distributed throughout with mathematical precision. 3.7/5 The Quarters 16…
Bibik’s Brownie – buah keluak ice cream with brownie. The chocolate brownie had a cookie-esque texture while the earthy buah keluak ice cream kept things legit and real – no purchase of likes/followers, no plagiarism of text and content for its IG posts, no chocolate wannabeism. Just buah keluak, naked…
Salted Egg Fries from The Quarters. The salted egg dip is like McDonald’s curry sauce undergone some supernova explosion of an evolution – thick, creamy, spicy, peppery and very, very gao. Control your dosage. 3.9/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of The Quarters. The Quarters 16 Enggor Street #01-09…
Satay Burger from The Quarters – spiced and marinated chicken thigh between rice patties, served with peanut sauce. The rice patties intrigued with its orh jian (oyster pancake)-esque crisp, while the well-marinated satay chicken and the accompanying sweet and notably nutty peanut sauce deliver the goods with the efficiency of…
