Nestled in the heart of town (Orchard Road), @almabyjuanamador is a 1-Michelin-starred restaurant for 4 consecutive years since 2016. Helmed by 🇸🇬 Executive Chef Haikal Johari, Alma offers great value (3, 4 or 5 course) set lunches starting from only SGD65++. Go BIG or go HOME of course, we had their 5 Course Set Lunch, which sets us back SGD98++ per pax.

Main Course:
👉DUROC SPANISH PORK (Add SGD16)
Gobo | Pine Nut | Japanese Whisky Glaze
📝Well-executed by the chef, the pork meat was tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. Not in a bad way, the flavour sorta reminded me of a zhng-up version of Bak Kwa. And of course to give an elevated level of complexity, their Korean ginseng mousse at the side was the MVP.

👉’KUHLBARRA’ BARRAMUNDI
Zucchini | Chorizo | Crab Reduction
📝Unfortunately, this fell short of my expectations as the barramundi didn’t have that shatteringly crisp skin. Flavour-wise, it didn’t stand out for me too.

Desserts:
👉‘POIRE BELLE HELENE’
Anjou | ‘Jin Xuan’ Tea | 72% Chocolate
📝Pretty impressed by the harmonious mix of textures and flavours.

👉APPLE TART TATIN (Add SGD12)
Apple Compote | Hokkaido Milk Ice Cream | Almond
📝So glad that their apple compote was not overly sweet and packed with goodness.

👉ALMA’S PETIT FOUR
Gula Jawa Canelé
📝Nothing special in my opinion.
