As of last Saturday, my favourite grilled cheese sandwich in Singapore leveled up. How is that even possible? Two words: Black. Truffle.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, you now have the option to pimp up the already incredible sandwich of housemade cranberry walnut bread with ooey-gooey melted gruyere and mozzarella.

When you decide to spoil yourself with this extra decadent version, know that it includes a generous slather of specially-made black truffle butter and freshly shaved black truffle within. Then when the piping hot, crispy deliciousness appears in front of you, more freshly-shaved black truffle will rain upon it.

Do note that Chef Greg does not use a single drop of truffle oil in this. So please do not order it expecting the same strong scent of truffle you find in truffle fries. Because real truffle is a lot more sensuous, possessing a subtle and rich earthy aroma.

Here is some info about pricing. The original grilled cheese sandwich costs $18++ but you can savour it for $14++ during Spago’s “Sundowners” (Mon to Thur, 4pm to 7pm). The version with Black Truffles is available everyday between 6pm to 10pm for $45++.
