Finally dragged my lazy Eastie ass to Portsdown and then wondered why I didn't do it sooner! This pop up (last day 30 Apr 2019) is helmed by young Singaporean chefs, and features a different menu every month (9 courses for $78++). Chef Abel's menu for January 2019 was a clever mix of textures, flavors and smells. My favorites would be the stronger tasting dishes of sweetbread dumpling, beef tripe, artichoke "carrot cake" and fermented brocoli as pictured. The subtler tasting seafood dishes were also well balanced. Each dish is limited to 3 key ingredients, which IMO provides focus for both chefs and diners. Service is casual as the focus here is on delivering a solid experimental menu rather than starched linen and 100-page wine lists. Marvelous. Looking forward to v2.
