Breakfast / 26 May 2018: crispy pork belly and scallops was wonderfully decadent and amazingly yummy for breakfast

The cocktail "Old Fashioned" is strong, smoky, and not sweet,tick all my requirements for cocktails.
The bespoke shots were light and refreshing.
The service is amazing and friendly staff 😊.
Am I Old Fashioned? YES 😜
Thank you @paulynnlow for the treats 💗.

Fab cocktails & good vibes @ 28HK ST 🍸 I’ll be back!
Loved the Escape to Oaxaca 🥂

Great for dates ;)

The snap and crackle of the spicy anchovy crumbs turned the low-key quiet of the coiled squid ink fusilli into a full-blown party-in-the-mouth. Credit for the intense flavours in this must also be shared with the lumps of crab meat and the uni that seemed to have melted to become one with the sauce.
If you are sharing the pastas here, and I recommend you do, ask for this Nero Fusilli to be served last as it has a stronger taste profile and you will want to properly savour the lighter tasting ones first.

A must order dish when you visit PIPES is the Honey Toast! Creamy soft serve paired with a warm chewy shokupan. The insides of the shokupan were stretchy and honeyed. There was a drizzling of tarty berry jam too which went so well with the creamy ice cream. 😍 haha also bought some puddings to indulge in at home ☺️

The Linguine Vongole, look at the huge clams! The wife ordered it because she saw another table had it and she loved it! I had the Iberico Pork Secreto. Lovely pork, just that the thicker part was a bit too rare, so I didn’t touch that part. Usually I will but you know the precaution. 75% of it was just nice, medium done as ordered. To share amongst us, we had the calamari and cauliflower fritti. The caper aoili is nice, must replicate at home! The kid’s meal is so tasty, fresh tomatoes spaghetti is good. This has no meat and it taste better than many other kids spaghetti we have tried. Wild mushroom soup is super good too. The restaurant is packed now. We discovered something too. If you’re staying here, there’s a 15% off if you charge it to your room. We saved 1 red and 2 purple SG bills.

Fried chicken waffles tasted like har cheong gai!

Waffles was very underwhelming, not buttery, not fluffy, not crispy. Flavour is flat.

$40 for this. Definitely not coming back

This was seemingly more worth it than the Hamburg set, in both its portion and flavour. Well presented, the tornado egg pleasantly surprised us. The tomato sauce complemented the Japanese rice and egg, which was soft and slightly flowy. The fried shrimp was crispy and hot, with a sauce at the side to dip. However, still a little overpriced for the quality of the meal - neither mind blowing nor disappointing.

(Apologies for the unfocused photo but didn’t really bother because of the poor lighting outdoors at night)

Still, would recommend to dine alfresco as it’s prettier outside :-) We made reservations in advance as the restaurant’s usually fully booked.

For starters, we had the soup of the day (tomato & basil) and truffle mash potato. Highlight of our meal would be the Halia’s Singapore-Style Chilli Crab Spaghettini. The portions of pasta and crab meat were so generous, and their rendition of the chilli crab sauce was amazing as well. Our other main was another popular dish, the Paperbag Oven-baked Halibut Fillet. Although it was good, the halibut fillet wasn’t as impressive. I personally enjoyed the soy and ginger broth. Finished off with the toffee pudding for desserts, which we read was a “must order”, but didn’t think it was anything to shout about.

Overall, thumbs up for the service and atmosphere. Would consider returning again!

Salmon with crispy seaweed as taco shells. This is one of their signature dishes on the menu and i can understand why. Goes by 2 pieces per serving, do eat 2 by yourself; too yummy to be sharing with someone else.

The original was alright, slightly salty but it wasn’t as fragrant a dumpling I anticipated. Skin was good and the pork filling was fresh and well cooked though!

The fiery pierogi was the star. We loved everything about it and I can still taste it on my tongue even after 12 hours. The truffle flavour was present but not overwhelming, the siracha sauce was a good kick, cheddar was a nice inclusion and the texture of the potato filling was thick yet light. Would definitely recommend and get again especially if you like truffle, but share it with a friend because it has the potential to become jelak after a while!
