Portico Favourites high tea menu at Portico Prime. Terrific value for money for the quality and quantity on display. The chilled truffle-scented angel hair pasta with avruga caviar and kawa ebi shrimps barges into your sensory pleasure memory orbs with the rapacious ruthlessness of a disgruntled Bukit Gombak-residing Ah Ma…

Elsewhere, the tiger prawns were happily fat and…
Tiger Prawn from Pluck – baked tiger prawn, slow cooked egg, chilli crab puree, cilantro oil and mantou. Essentially lobster served with a crabby, chilli-spicy soft-boiled egg gravy. The prawn was massive, buttery, bitter and really, really phat (this tiger probably hid in its den and remained sedentary during its…

Tiger prawn wonton capellini with lobster oil, chorizo iberico, and fried tiger prawn wontons. Essentially Chinese five spice (五香) bee hoon as interpreted by a Mediterranean chef who married a Singaporean heartland girl. 3.75/5 Pidgin 7 Dempsey Road #01-04 Singapore 249671
