More Reviews of good food at Humpback

Clean, crisp and quietly confident. The snapper had that golden skin that crackled just right, with tender flesh underneath. The yuzu miso was bright and punchy, enough to lift the dish without overpowering it. Asparagus added a fresh crunch that kept things light. Simple, balanced and easy to enjoy 》$36

The mafaldine had that perfect chewy bite with ruffled edges that clung onto all the flavour. It came slicked in garlicky chilli oil, more hum than heat but still aromatic. The crab was sweet and generous and the zucchini added a fresh crunch that broke up the richness nicely 》$28

Didn’t think cabbage could hit like this. Charred, smoky, tender and had those crispy bits that make you keep picking at it. The anchovies gave it that salty crunch and the asiago added this creamy, nutty layer that pulled everything together. A rare find that punches above its weight 》$17

Crunchy on the outside, crabby on the inside. These shiok little bites hit all the right notes. Rich, creamy and packed with actual crab, not filler. The miso mayo’s like the atas cousin of tartar sauce, it’s salty, smooth and addictive 》$15

This one came out looking simple, but it’s got layers. Hamachi was fresh and fatty, clean bite and no fishiness. Ponzu added a bright, citrusy lift, while the green chili slices sneak in a gentle heat that lingers just long enough to keep things interesting. Not overpowering, just enough to keep things interesting 》$12

Our experience here was perfect - delicious food set against a classy ambience and warm lights. But that's not to say that the prices are high - the dishes here are really worth the quality plus the HH oysters and drinks are so so affordable! We had 6 oysters at only $14 and they were so delicious. The server will even take the time to explain their origins and flavour profiles if you wish. The Yuzu Caipiroska (HH $15) packed a double punch of booziness and sourness, but in a good way!

On to the food, we started with the Crab Croquettes ($15 for 3 pcs). Exterior was well-crisp without any heavy greasiness, and the insides were warm and oozing with potatoes and flakes of crab meat. My partner had a funny comment though, that if she ate this without knowing, she would have thought that the filling was the Ayam brand salmon mayo spread. I...agreed.

Next, we had the Hispi cabbage ($17) which unfortunately was the letdown of the meal. We really wanted to like this, but the flavours of the baby anchovy and asiago cheese didn't really gel well with the cabbage. The cabbage sweetness should be more pronounced but unfortunately I could not appreciate much of it.

However, the star of the show was hands-down the Crab Zucchini Pasta ($28). So buttery, rich, and flavourful, the pasta with the sauce alone was already so damn delicious. Completing the dish were the generous chunks of sweet crab meat as well as slices of zucchini adding a touch of freshness. We loved this.

Food, service, and vibes were all amazing. I will definitely be back.

Most expensive but also allegedly one of the more notable item on the menu as recommended by their staff was the Kurobuta Pork Chop. The pork chop had a nice sear and decent tenderness, but I thought it was lacking a tad bit in its juiciness. I quite enjoyed this Japanese inspired dish for its sesame miso jus, giving just that slight tinge of sweetness and umami combination. The pork crackling garnish was a nice addition. Kale was also a nice accompaniment to cleanse your palate with every piece of meat. A nice option if you aren’t on a budget, but I do think it’s slightly pricey for what it was.

Lightly battered squid with a dash of seaweed powder. Especially enjoyed it because it was not too oily nor too heavy. And the garlic dip was an extremely delightful complement for this snack.

Brioche rolls for $10!!!!???? Humpback can just take my money because this was so good. This came freshly baked out of the oven - warm, fluffy, and soft. With that slight crisp texture to give that light crunch. The kombu butter was savoury, and the layers to the flavour when smothered on the bread was to die for. Zero regrets choosing this carb loaded appetiser to start the meal - and this is coming from someone who isn’t the slightest fan of bread.

Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Red prawn tartare - Cold dish of fresh and juicy prawns served with pomelo and tosazu jelly. The jelly was a delightful and complex balance of sweet, salty, and tangy from the likely mix of soy, vinegar, mirin, and citrus.

One of the better renditions I’ve had with fluffy interior and caramelised exterior. Loved the refreshing sea salt element balanced with caramel drizzle and luscious creme fraise ice cream

Dessert:
🍰Castella cake - One of the better renditions I’ve had with fluffy interior and caramelised exterior. Loved the refreshing sea salt element balanced with caramel drizzle and luscious creme fraice ice cream
🍫Chocolate tart (+$2) - Creamy and rich chocolate ganache with nutty and earthy balance from the sobacha cream and topping of added nuts and popped rice.

Always a fan of raw juicy oysters and enjoyed theirs, albeit a bit steeper price-wise even with the 50% happy hour discount. Coromandel was creamier in flavour, Fanny Bay more classic salty and briny finish, and Sun Seeker a personal favourite for the more complex meaty, mineral, sweet taste.
