Pretty decent ban mian that could be your next supper spot! Good spicy kick, but texture of this ban Mian was nothing mind blowing. Definitely could’ve had more ingredients like shallots with the noodles. And the most disappointing was the pork cutlet which was not freshly fried.

Haven’t been to Clarke Quay in a long while and just realised that Chupitos had gone through a major revamp - going beyond shots, but also legitimately delicious food. Got the wasabi prawn tacos upon the staff’s recommendation, who said it was a hot favorite. And I absolutely loved it! The crispy nori taco shell was delightful, and so crunchy together with the wasabi mayo prawns. The tobiko, sushi rice and furikake beneath gave a dash of saltiness which complemented the creamy mayo really well. So fun to eat!

New date night option at Ann Siang whipping up Asian style tapas that is perfect for sharing!✨

The Guinness braised pork belly was a good balance of juicy and greasy, and the slight char at the ends of the pork belly was simply immaculate. The taste of Guinness however, was not the most apparent. That being said, the caramelised apples complemented the pork belly so well that it added an unexpected layer of flavour to the dish!

Thank you Burpple for the invite & Baste for being so generous🌟

This bowl of achar fried rice got everyone pretty sold. It was unexpectedly delicious with its umami flavour and the hints of achar with every mouthful of rice. Would’ve definitely wanted more of the pickled sourness to come through with the rice to better live up to its name of Achar.

Beautifully plated trout cooked delicately to give its absolute tenderness. Loved how the flavours came through with the pumpkin purée and salted egg, complementing excellently with the fish in its entirety. One of my favourites here.

Another cold dish - small chunks of octopus with sambal and cincalok. A unique dish with interesting flavours of sweetness from the octopus, saltiness from the cincalok, and also a slight sourness from the berries they mixed with. Not forgetting the hint of spiciness from the sambal, which packs a refreshing punch with every piece of octopus. The flavours came through very well in this dish!

Straight from the charcoal, the barley fed skirt was so flavourful and juicy, almost akin to the kind of flavour you’d get from well grilled kbbq meat. And I believe that’s the intention especially with the lettuce served at the side, you can even eat it kbbq style. But what won my heart was the zest dip - spicy yet really so zesty and refreshing!

Topped with caviar, each potato chunk is given a nice portion of truffle bechamel sauce that gave every bite a rich creaminess. A dish that’s easy to please and difficult to go wrong!

Served cold with olive vegetables, ikura, goji berries, and chives, this was surprisingly very appetising. It had a slight saltiness from the ikura, but also a pleasant sweetness and sourness to it. Very refreshing rendition on the capellini.

An extremely delightful tapas that’s befitting of a starter. The grilled sourdough has a nice chew to it, with its slightly burnt ends giving that little toastiness. The pistachio butter? Rich, creamy, and buttery. It went so well with the sourdough!

Served cold, the cauliflower and tahini makes for a decent sharing plate. Wished the tahini came through a bit stronger and nuttier, and I can only wonder how this might taste if served hot!

For those who want your bowl of Mee Sua upscaled, Baste’s Mee Sua is simmered in a rich chicken collagen broth and topped with caviar. Homely and tasty, this bowl retains its smooth, almost slimy noodle texture - which I know some of you adore✨
