It's overlooking Marina Bay, so it's a perfect venue for romantic night. Here's the Spanish Rice Stew with luscious Canadian lobster, iberico chorizo and stewed Roma tomatoes.
The cashier who served us was friendly and made good recommendation. 👏 It's rare for @nckai to suggest trying FatCat because the fiancé is usually not a cafe person. So I took the chance to order two desserts even though we were already full from lunch. Took a little while to shoot and edit this photo, I kept asking him to choose which shot looks better and he says all the same. 😝😝
The litmus test for any cafe that specialises in brunch items has to invariably be its Eggs Benedict. I'm pretty pleased with the one I got at Penny University ☺️ My eggs were poached to oozy perfection and beautifully coated in a silky rich Hollandaise. I like mine with served atop brioche and they do that here. If only there were more smoked salmon...
These offering will cater to the needs of executives working in the CBD area. Free coffee for any breakfast orders ☕️
This insanely buttery cod melts in the mouth perfectly, coating the palate with a tinge of its sweet jus. The accompanying risotto with young zucchini and robust truffle jus enhances its flavor, bringing the overall satisfaction level up another notch. It's so amazing we can't even... Wow. Just wow.
When friends from overseas come for a visit, I like to take them to Artichoke for dinner because the food is really unique and never fails to please.
Besides ordering my must-have mezzes with pita bread plus my new favourite, the feta-burrata cheese on toasted Turkish bread, here are the dishes that I always get to satisfy our souls and fill our bellies.
Top: This barbecue Moroccan whole fish is a fresh seabass that's been rubbed with piquant chermoula paste and preserved lemon butter before it meets the fire. It tastes absolutely lovely with a big squirt of juice from the grilled lemon. ($30++ for the one featured but it can change based on market price)
Middle left: The smoked chicken is squiggled with garden herb relish and accompanied by toum garlic sauce and Lebanese pickles. It looks dry but believe me, every inch of the chicken meat is moist and tender, and deeply infused with a beguiling smoky aroma. ($26++)
Middle right: Succulent and sweetish, the charcoal grilled pork belly dish is usually the biggest hit at the table. It's only very slightly spicy having been laced with shish kebab spices and a coffee-date BBQ sauce. Creating more excitement are kernels of corn and crunchy, chilled strips of yuzu pickles that the pork belly pieces are tossed in. ($26++)
Bottom left: Probably the best disguised vegetable I have met apart from french fries (but hmmm... do potatoes count as a vegetable?) Whatever the case, I find the crunchy florets of fried cauliflower tossed with almonds, currants and pomegranate in mint and garlic yogurt dressing, highly addictive. ($16++)
Bottom right: The big pieces of locally-grown mushrooms are stir fried with spinach in chopped garlic, Thai basil and scattered with za'atar breadcrumbs before serving. I love how it has a "meaty" texture although technically, this is a vegetarian dish. ($18++)
One of the items on the beer bites menu of a western stall that takes over the entire coffeeshop at night named The Carving Board. Nothing could go wrong with these rings; fried till golden-brown and crisp with every bite. Unlike the others I usually have, there is no empty gap in between the fried batter and the calamari, and there is no rubbery texture for the calamari either. Curry Mayo feels like a tamed version of the one that they use for their Currywurst; tasted of a more premium McDonald's Curry dip with an egginess from the mayo to it.
Dreaming of these mouthwatering, warm and crisp churros (it's new on the menu!) that I had last week at Manhattan Bar. Served alongside a warm melty chocolate dip, these babies have warmed my stomach and found its way to my heart—for good! Looks like I'm gonna have to pop by soon to satisfy that craving! 😁
Great hidden find in Kampong Glam; affordable, provides generous portions, Halal and not to mention delicious, even if i did find the beef quite tendon-y.
It's accompanied by salted egg sauce, not pictured as hand model didn't want to work today as she was self conscious 😞😒😔 #burpple
