![[Telok Ayer Arts Club] - Locally-Bred Spatchcock ($28) stole the show with not just its look but its fork tender meat and extremely flavourful sauce and crisp skin.](https://burpple-1.imgix.net/foods/6c72ba99f886b9ecb61698362_original.?w=645&dpr=1&fit=crop&q=80)
Inspired by the Portuguese-style Carne Assada, the herbs and spices used make this traditional French roast chicken extra aromatic. To achieve the crisp skin and tender interior, the chicken was brined in a salt and sugar mixture for a few hours, before being left to dry for a full day in a chiller. After which it was being roasted in butter with honey, paprika and herbs, and drizzled with a red wine sauce. So do not chuck the skin aside! I love the vegetables that came with a hint of smokiness, thanks to the bacon strips that were sautéed with it.

I feel that the standard has dropped. The chicken was served lukewarm ):

Very satisfiying, and good value for money.

![[Telok Ayer Arts Club] - Seafood Fettuccine ($25) is modeled after the traditional French bouillabaisse.](https://burpple.imgix.net/foods/6c72ba9541d793a5681696780_original.?w=645&dpr=1&fit=crop&q=80)
The sauce is more of a seafood stew made of shellfish reduction, little neck clams, crab meat, baby squid. It reminded me of a wet Hokkien mee. It was acceptable but i think the stew works better as a seafood stew on its own instead of using it as a pasta base.

It’s been a while since I had this at the hosted tasting. But the vegetable dishes by Head Chef Seumas Smith have left me with such an indelible impression I always make sure to recommend friends who’re headed there to order them.
Take this plate of carrots for instance - it made quite a journey before appearing here in all its glory. Every step was integral to the amazing flavour finale, beginning with the carrots being confit in butter, then charcoal-grilled in the INKA oven before the final stage where brown butter, black sesame seeds, parsley and honey were added.
I’m sure this and the other vegetable items have enough yumminess to please even the more hardcore meat-lovers out there.
We had 4 vegetarian-friendly mezzas to share at Urban Bites after yoga last Saturday. Cosy ambience and quiet surroundings on a Saturday at brunch time. 👍🏻☺️
Lovely pita bread with 3 different kinds of dip! They recommended the hummus, white cod roe and eggplant dip! It was so so delicious
Super tender grilled octopus! One of the best octopus dishes I have eaten to date
Charcoal grilled lamb chops marinated in Lebanese spices.
。
This modern restaurant at Holland Village recreates the bold flavours of traditional Midden Eastern cuisine. Their wide variety of mezze, or bite-size appetizers make it an ideal place to have a few drinks and chillax.
The lamb chops were really flavourful and had succulent fall-off-the-bone meat. As for the sides, there’s still room for improvement.
