Visited Five Marbles; run by the same people behind now-defunct The Rawr Kitchen (they moved over) — the food options see a pretty interesting infusion with their craft beers used during the cooking process, while the craft beers offered have changed to a wider selection sourced from local breweries such as Brewlander & Co. (yes, the collab between Allan Wu and Daniel Ong), Innocence Brewing and a few others.

The folks behind Five Marbles knows how to do pork well; the generous slabs of pork belly stewed and braised for days with their craft beer is not only immensely tender, but also incredibly savoury from the braising providing a mellow sweetness alongside without any porky stench. The accompanying linguine is done al-dente; flavours being more subtle than the slabs of pork (which was a good balance considering the heavy flavours of the pork) yet carried a lingering butteriness for a slight flavour. Would go pretty well with the craft beer selection here.
