After nine years (and still going damn strong), the #bestshitresturant in town is #stillnotdead. Yes, you heard me right, the least authentic Middle Eastern restaurant, Artichoke, led by the creative genius Chef Bjorn Shen, is still constantly revolutionizing the food and beverage scene based on strong beliefs and faith, without caring less of the norm.

The definite and right way of a proper dining experience at Artichoke is to start off with a bag of Turkish bread and a spread of mezzes. Mezzes are essentially a collection of small plates of food served as sharing appetizers to whet your appetite for the mains. What we have on the table are some of the mezzes that are new on the menu such as the Turkish Eggplant ($12), Sea Asparagus ($12) and Crab Toast ($16) while the Hummus with Iraqi Spiced Mushrooms ($14) is an improved version of the previous. The newly band of brothers are perfect to go alongside the Turkish bread, especially the hummus which is creamy, rich and just pure decadent; when paired with the abalone mushrooms that has been seasoned in Baharat, a thyme spice mixed of 7 spices, sautéed with olive oil and garlic. The more interesting dish is the Crab Toast whereby instead of a usual one-biter food, this is Artichoke’s version of a two-biter open-faced “sandwich”, made with blue swimmer crab that’s mixed with Greek yogurt and other ingredients before topped on housebaked brioche. The finishing touches of adding deep-fried chicken skin and ikura creates the differing texture and flavour.
