I’ve long held the impression that the food at every one of @vinceteng and @phaybulous’ casual dining establishments are discerningly prepared so they are refined and delicious even at the affordable price points.
Being creative, nimble and adaptable, they have recently added a few items to @punch.sg’s Takeaway Menu that will only be around for as long as F&B is disallowed from offering dine-in. And these are really worth getting your hands on.
My favourite of what I got to try would be the ‘PUNCH’ing Gloves, a burger built with the famous potato brioche buns from @burntends_sg. Between the two halves is a beautifully done medium-rare 120g beef patty upon which lies melted Brie cheese, and dressed with spicy tomato mayo & pickled onions. I enjoyed this burger very much for the bracing acidity from the plentiful onions as it gave as good as it got from the rich beefiness. The battle played out on my palate with a great deal of excitement but I proclaim myself the ultimate champion because guess who got to eat it 😌.
For pasta fans, the moreish and dry-style Grilled Tiger Prawns & Scallop Aglio Olio ($19) is sure to satisfy as the spaghetti is cooked with chilli, garlic, olive oil, toasted breadcrumbs for extra body and bite, and finished with parsley.
A cup of Bircher Muesli ($13) was included in one of the delivered bags too. How sweet of @vincteng and @phaybulous to sort out my breakfast for the next day. This lovely and healthy creation with soaked oats, grated apples, sliced mango, Greek yogurt and toasted coconut flakes has been in existence since the opening of their first cafe, The Plain that was located on Craig Road. It was a place I use to visit almost on a weekly basis at one stage.
You can view the full menu at @punch.sg’s link-in-bio and order all of the above via Grab.
But NOT the special PUNCH Fried Chicken. To secure yourself a box or more of this, you will need to WhatsApp: 83984300.
Theirs is not the thick-battered, crunchy kind of coating but more of a thin layer of crisp coating the juicy meat. Included in each set are fries, fried mantou, housemade pickles and spicy tomato mayo. You can pick the 2pc for $16 (Thigh & Drumstick) or 3pc for $21 (Thigh, Drumstick & Whole Wing). If you crave a little extra funky creaminess, there’s a Blue Cheese Dip you can pay $2 more for. And because #friedchicken is arguably best with #beer, why not grab a Little Creatures Pale or a Bright Ale ($8). Do note you’ll need to WhatsApp them a day in advance for the PUNCH Fried Chicken. Here’s the number again: 83984300.
