Deliveries/Takeaways/Homecooked

One such business is Blisse Cheesecake, which was created recently and the team has started selling their rendition of the Basque burnt cheesecake ($45 for 6 inch, inclusive of delivery or $40 for self collection at Jurong).

Dare I say, this burnt cheesecake can rival many of the top restaurants and you will not surfeited after eating a slice as the type of cheeses used bring about a nice balance of cheesiness and sweetness, complemented by the slight bitterness from the charred ends. What truly stood out was the gooey middle which was an absolute joy to eat as many burnt cheesecakes out there are missing this kind of texture.

Hence, to commemorate the upcoming festive period, Executive Chef Nicky Ng from Mitzo has launched a Festive Set Menu that will be available until 1 January 2021, which you can order, and have it delivered to the comfort of your home. This 6-course set menu is good for 2 persons and it comes with their signature Special Barbecued Pork, Deep Fried Prawns with Fermented Beancurd Mayonnaise, Double-boiled Pumpkin & Turkey Soup, Braised Miso Lamb Shank, Chilean Sea Bass with Wild Mushroom Sauce and Unagi & Seaweed Fried Rice. The festive set menu is priced at $148 without cocktails or $178 which comes with two portions of Purp Me Up Festive Cocktails.

The special barbecued pork is without a doubt one of Mitzo’s best dishes with the correct meat to fat ratio and the nicely caramelized top while the prawns that are coated in a fermented beancurd mayonnaise brings about a nice fusion of flavours. Continuing with the contemporary fusion of flavours, the lamb shank is steamed with ginger and Chinese wine before it gets braised in a bonito, dashi and miso mixture to remove the gaminess from the meat.

In partnership with three brands, Quorn, Heura and OMN!, the restaurant has taken these plant-based solutions in creating dishes for takeaway and delivery. From comforting soups such as the Quorn Meatball Nam Sai to stir-fried OMN! Basil Kaprao and Heura Red Curry in bento boxes, you can be assured that the flavours are not compromised even though these are plant-based products.

The bento box that comes with Heura Red Curry ($18) is made with Chef Nipaporn’s secret red curry paste and coconut milk, which the spice will hit you subtlety from each spoonful, and the curry is paired perfectly with the blue jasmine rice with sides of vegetarian spring roll and ending off with mango sticky rice. As for the OMN! Basil Kaprao bento ($18), this is everyone’s favourite stir-fry at Thai restaurants with the strong wok hei aroma and savouriness to go alongside some rice. Last but not least, what’s a meal without having some soup, and the Quorn Meatball Nam Sai ($16) is a different interpretation of the tom yum, in that instead of coconut milk, more onions and dried birds eye chilli are added to not only refreshes your palate and senses, the spiciness truly packs a punch.
