The Lokal lobster roll from The Lokal – slipper lobster tails, gherkin, coleslaw & lemon mayonnaise. A little too much bread for my liking, but the lobster was present and friendly at this party instead of being all standoffish and only sociable with people whom it can manipulate and exploit.…
Bean powder snow bingsu from Twins. Essentially a blend of muah chee, rhino skin and O’ma Spoon-esque snowflakey milk ice, but instead created using HL milk and a 3D printer. 2.9/5 Twins 7 Craig Road Singapore 089667
Bang Bang Prawn Pasta from The Prawn Star – warm cappellini, mayonnaise, chilli and lime. Like the spiritual Thai sister of the Fried Meesua with Kimchi Purée from Gastrosmiths. The oily strands of sweet and spicy capellini are so slurpsome and full of flavour, they steal the spotlight from the…
King Prawns on Vermicelli Claypot with bacon and white pepper from The Prawn Star. Essentially an indulgent, regal morning economic beehoon but with king prawns instead of the usual oily and unhealthy suspects, and my favourite item from my meal at The Prawn Star. While the bacon played hide and…
Sriracha Caramel Popcorn from The Prawn Star. Delectably sweet, yet gives a devilishly spicy sting to the lips. Majorly addictive. 4.1/5 [This was a hosted meal, courtesy of The Prawn Star.] The Prawn Star 21 Duxton Hill Singapore 089604
All-Hands-On-Deck Seafood Platter ($98) from The Prawn Star – seafood grilled in kimchi-miso butter. Some of the clammed seamen petulantly refused entry and, when forcefully seized, even flung sand in a rowdy show of temper, but the lobster and prawns were reliably good and the nicely smoky bread went wonderfully…
Crepe suzette from L’Angelus – hot pancakes with fresh orange juice, flambées with Grand Marnier. Essentially a soft, doughy crepe coated with a thick, sweet, orange-y sauce. The Grand Marnier here is aggressive, making forceful passage into your system in vapour form via your throat. 4/5 L’Angelus 85 Club Street…
Last minute cooked apple pie, cinnamon ice cream, and calvados (apple brandy). Essentially a delightful puff pastry which had a prior good roll in a bed of sugar granules. The cinnamon ice cream was rather spicy, the apple brandy appreciatedly strong and the caramel-esque sauce added sweet gooeyness to the…
Seafood Stew from The Lokal – red snapper, venus clams, prawns, squid, fregola sarda and toasted sourdough. Essentially how it would taste if a bajillion clams were strapped to life essence extraction machines and all their flavour distilled into a small pool on your plate. The stew itself was supremely…
