Western

I never pass up on chicken liver pâté if I see it on the menu and Birders doesn't disappoint with their velvety smooth version spiked with bourbon. No funk, only rich and luxurious flavour that begs to be spread over an insufficient number of deep-fried mantou. The tangy yuzu marmalade is there to provide respite from the heavier tasting components if you need it, but I find myself spooning the pâté straight out of the pot and into the mouth once the buns run out.

Thanks @burpple for the invite and @birderssg for the great hospitality!

Taste: 3.5/5

One bite was all it took to confirm the obvious succulence and bouncy-flesh yumminess of this lobster. Not that it should surprise as minutes prior, this creature was blowing bubbles with its buddies in the glass tank across my table.
As eager as I was to indulge in its bare naked sweetness, the accompanying garlic butter oil was such a sneaky temptress I had no choice but to succumb.
