9MCM The Jubilee Marketplace

From Morsels at the 9MCM popup this year running from 20 to 21 June. Apparently the Otah Noodles were a good concept though tasted a bit ordinary, but the Taco seemed a tad unrelated to the dish and the whole idea just didn't really felt like it come together.

From Neh Neh Pop at the 9MCM pop up this year that runs from 20 to 21 June. Calling these as "atas Magnum" wouldn't be doing justice to these creative innovations that comes from the same folks who brought us Artichoke Cafe + Bar. Of the lot of flavours we had, the Double Chocolate Cone remains the safest; Milk Chocolate Kulfi, Milk Chocolate Dip and Crushed Ice Cream Cone Crumbs atop the ice-cream. Rocky Road and Strawberry Pockie were more adventurous and playful; Rocky Road had the same milk chocolate ice-cream but contains inserts of marshmallows within, yet sprinkled with toasted almonds, fruity pebbles and Wonka Nerds as well as popping candy on a dark chocolate dip. The result was a sweeter version of the Double Chocolate Cone that comes with a party in the mouth with popping candy and fruity pebbles giving their distinct flavours and textures to the ice-cream. Strawberry Pockie was interesting too; Strawberry Ripple Ice-Cream which carried a light yogurt-like sourness to the white chocolate coating with Strawberry Pockie sprinkled atop; a real treat for those who prefer non-chocolate desserts which burst of Berry freshness.

From Atipico Home Chef at the 9MCM popup which runs from 20 to 21 Jun 2015. Atipico Home Chef provides culinary services either at home or for events so it is pretty worth the try as they do not have a physical restaurant around. Laksa Risotto was one of the more creative dishes seen in the popup yet; Risotto being moist but not overly wet and carried it's laksa flavour well being really rich. A dollop of coconut gelato is served atop the hot Risotto, which melts into the Laksa Risotto so as to add a coconut milk-like taste to the dish. Fresh prawns which were plump and succulent accompanies the risotto. A highly recommended stall to visit for this year's MCM, and a gastronomic dish that you should never miss!

From Immanuel French Kitchen/By The Fire at 9MCM popup which runs from 20 to 21 June 2015. Pork cheek was tender but somewhat bland tasting; definitely could have done with a bit of seasoning or marination for it was rather plain. Accompanying side was good though; loved the roasted potatoes which came with a hint of garlicky flavour for the punch.

By Sunday Market at the 9MCM popup which is on from 20 to 21 Jun 2015. Lasagne seemed a tad oily doused in chili oil, and while it did carry a mild slickness it was rather salty and hard to finish.
