Crispy duck curry with cauliflower and passion fruit from Ding Dong. Essentially moist and crispy duck leg – so much duck juices upon bite in yer mouth – soaking itself in a sweet mild curry with a most zippy passionfruit tang. Comes with rice, but the shaved cauliflower serves equally…
Ding Dong mango from Ding Dong. Essentially a ménage à trois involving three mango dessert concepts (mango sago pomelo, mango lassi and textures of mango) which ultimately remained cautiously tame and generated less heat than expected. 3.7/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Ding Dong. Ding Dong 23 Ann Siang…
Wagyu beef char siew with pickled papaya and cherry tomato from Ding Dong. The honey-sweet char siew skin was a delight, whilst the soft, fatty core had the tight wobble of the sickest dubstep tune. 3.9/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Ding Dong. Ding Dong 23 Ann Siang…
Baked Pistachio Melt & Pandan Ice Cream from FYR Cycene Ond Drinc. The green rocky mountain unyields a salty, thick, gooey sea of nutty goodness (with more nuts floating around in case you need more nuts in your bag), and the pandan ice cream was on hand to provide leafy,…
Grilled squid from FYR Cycene Ond Drinc. Massively addictive and flavourful (I don’t know what those salty, crispy toppings are but they disintegrated in my mouth far too quickly), and so deeply, deeply smoky that the dish should come with a warning label and a hotline for quitting. 4/5 This…
Baked blinis from FYR Cycene Ond Drinc – blinis (thin pancake made with yeasted butter) with grilled salmon, egg, Avruga caviar and grated Bottarga. The blini tasted like a interesting, savoury cross between soft dough and butter cake, while elsewhere the roe appeared to have undergone cellular fusion and the…
[NEW] [Telok Ayer] [Opened: TODAY] I haven’t eaten breakfast and I WAN 吞 some wanton (leave the Chinese puns to the pros, bro – Editor). Well, I’m in luck because the gourmet wanton noodle bar Wanton opens TODAY. Lunch menu is straightforward while the dinner menu allows you to customize…
Gambas picantes from My Little Tapas Bar – fresh shrimp cooked in a dish of boiling olive oil with garlic, chili and smoked paprika. Instead of being all Olive Oyl, the slightly spicy stock was positively eye-popping (what’s next, a spinach and sailor reference? – Editor) with its prawn richness,…
Peanut, Coconut, Citrus from Pluck – peanut sponge, coconut sorbet, calamansi gel, mandarin orange. A curious mix of mediocre and flat-tasting cake, refreshing coconut sorbet, peanut butter, sweet mandarin orange and a sharp and wickedly citric gel that would wake you right up, curl your toes and make you wince…
