We also had the Chilli Fish Bites as part of the 5L Beer Platter ($148) that also included a pizza as well. The Chilli Fish Bites had a slightly tangy taste apart from the chilli sauce it was coated in. The fillet within was also soft and tasty! We also ordered the Classic Wings ($11.80) which were well marinated and juicy.

The crowd favourite amongst the plethora of dishes we had that night was the Roast Pork Belly ($18.80) though. A bit steep pricing for sio bak but this was perfect with its meat to fats ratio and topped off with crispy pork crackling!

The Smokey Ribs here was cooked to perfection and the meat came off the ribs easily while retaining its juices. The Sweet Potato Fries were nothing spectacular though, I have had better elsewhere.

Desserts are definitely not an afterthought here, what with this lush layered honey cake and beer areated honeycomb topped with house made sour cream ice-cream, lemon balm and house-made fermented kumquat that’s equal parts intense sweetness and sourness, but wholly delicious.

texan for ljy and myself. pizza for klyan and cantonese for gz.

heng i listened to ljy and bo go funky. what you would expect from an amdk burger. the buns, bacon, medium beef patty along with the whole crispy fried onion ring come tgt to form a happy family.

the bacon still had a crisp to it yet not super hard. i feel the sauce on the bun is adequate liao. bo simi touch the bbq sauce which was served with the burger. i think the fries are hand cut one. think only. i not pro.

also ordered one pint of beer each and one anti-hpb milkshake.

thanks for the treat boys.

80 per pax.

Flesh from between the pork ribs is marinated with LeVeL33's IPA, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper and garlic for 6 hours, then sous-vide at 69 degrees celsius for 12 hours. The meat is shredded, pressed to shape, and chilled. Pan-seared to order, the re-imagined “meatloaf” is crisp on the edges and topped with mustard seeds and strangely, mussels. I’m not sure if the shellfish adds anything, but the crisp apple slices and apple puree are a tried and tested combination that work well with the pork.

Usually the most unexciting main on a menu, the chicken here is sous vide and finished on a charcoal grill for a smashingly smoky, succulent piece of meat. Draped over were lovely burnt leeks that had been fermented in salt and plum juice, and to the side, an earthy mushroom puree as well as a smoked eel, chicken stock and dashi jus that was brimming with umami.

The Tamago Sando ($12) is a delightful midday snack I wouldn't mind having over and over again. This had all the makings of tamagoyaki one can find on the streets of Tokyo, being all warm and fluffy with a creamy mouthfeel. I, and many others, judging by their reviews, are clearly smitten with the konbu mayo and pear sauce. They bring out a delicate sweetness and a hint of umami - it is what makes this sandwich stand out from the rest.

Anyone else thinks they should offer the sandwich on its own sans chips and salad (at a lower price, of course)?

Burnt Ends’ brioche stacked with a fried egg, dijon, thick-cut bacon, gherkins and greens! Really like how soft and buttery the buns were, and the beautifully cooked egg and bacon. I did find the bacon a bit too thick to manage in a burger. The dish also needed something more, perhaps a creamy sauce, to pull everything together.

Succulent pan-seared Hokkaido scallops served in a half shell filled with a moreish wheat beer dashi, seaweed, malt chips, and drizzled with dill oil, a common denominator across many of the dishes here that adds an uplifting herbaceous note.
