Best Food & Restaurants for Date Night in Singapore, 2018

Expect the unexpected with this beautiful well balanced blend of unconventional flavors and textures you’d expect of a risotto! I was in awe of how visually appealing this dish was, especially from the stunning deep purple color of the grains. Apparently, this deep pigmentation of Black rice comes from anthocyanins, the same compounded that give blueberries their color and health benefits.

So, black rice is often called “forbidden rice” because it was once reserved exclusively for the Chinese emperor and forbidden to the masses. The use of black rice instead of the usual short grain type of rice (arborio of carnaroli) provided that delectable nutty flavor and when cooked, they remain distinct and firm to the bite.

The consistency of the broth was spot on, with an interesting zing from the sour veg broth. Yet, at the same time, there is the familiar cheesy creamy base from the use of parmigiana. The fried soy beans added crunch to the dish. Overall, it was truly enjoyable and a great option to take a time out from all that peppercorn and chilli oil! 😛

😍 Not too late to indulge in the exclusive #PortaSG x #AhHuaKelong partnership dinner happening tonight and tomorrow.

The addition of curry crumble, as bizarre as it may seem, infuses a dash of local flavour to the dessert and its taste surprisingly blend seamlessly with the dominant tanginess of this icy treat. A wonderfully crafted and enjoyable dessert! 💕

Was introduced by my friend and had a great experience there. The food is really good and the staff is friendly. They would share and recommend the dishes so do please ask them if you're lost in the menu!

Highly recommend the Tochgi Wagyu skewers. It's buttery and when it slides in your mouth, the taste explodes with that unbelievable chewy texture of good meat. It also taste exceptionally well with the sake. I'm craving for it while writing this right now.

5/5 would go back to Shukuu for the experience. 6/5 stars would go back for the wagyu 😋

This roast duck was not bad! Crispy skin with tender meat and ticks all the boxes for a roast duck. The black truffle sauce was tasty, although I felt that it wasn’t particularly necessary because the addition of truffles didn’t do much for the dish. (Other than increase the price, haha.) I understand Mitzo’s aim of wanting to be a contemporary Chinese restaurant, but it peeves me a bit when ingredients are simply used for the sake of it.

This was a big, big disappointment. While I could smell the truffle smell floating towards me, the rice tasted completely bland. There wasn’t any flavour added by any of the ingredients and the rice seemed a bit too moist like it hadn’t been fried enough. It almost tasted like white rice with a truffle smell in fact. My brother put it the best: “they have all these quality ingredients but they don’t know how to use it properly”.

And that's a big pot Scottish blue mussel. The mussels weren't big, but they were very soft and fresh, swimming in a pot of savoury sweet white wine sauce filled with herby scent. And that bread, I ordered more of the soft sourdough bread so that I can soak up those sauces.

This ($14) was quite good but it did not stand out compared to other Hamburg rice bowls I’ve tried. The burger patty is tender but not dry at all. It goes well with the Japanese rice and egg mayo too.

This ($9) was very yummy with the toast being crispy and the cheese being very tasty with the burnt flavour too. The rosemary honey goes well with this, adding another dimension to the toast as well.
