![The Forbidden Risotto -Healthy black rice (aka forbidden grains), Hokkaido scallop, squid, daikon ribbon, pickled ginger, sour veg, shoyu dressing, fried soy bean, spring onion, baby bak choy, lemon zest, ikura [$35]](https://burpple-2.imgix.net/foods/37f4dd9187049ae74e1662747_original.?w=645&dpr=1&fit=crop&q=80)
Expect the unexpected with this beautiful well balanced blend of unconventional flavors and textures you’d expect of a risotto! I was in awe of how visually appealing this dish was, especially from the stunning deep purple color of the grains. Apparently, this deep pigmentation of Black rice comes from anthocyanins, the same compounded that give blueberries their color and health benefits.
So, black rice is often called “forbidden rice” because it was once reserved exclusively for the Chinese emperor and forbidden to the masses. The use of black rice instead of the usual short grain type of rice (arborio of carnaroli) provided that delectable nutty flavor and when cooked, they remain distinct and firm to the bite.
The consistency of the broth was spot on, with an interesting zing from the sour veg broth. Yet, at the same time, there is the familiar cheesy creamy base from the use of parmigiana. The fried soy beans added crunch to the dish. Overall, it was truly enjoyable and a great option to take a time out from all that peppercorn and chilli oil! 😛
100g is a really small portion, so get the 200g if you're sharing (or if you're a beef lover yourself). Despite its thinness, the steak is cooked to a perfect medium as per requested, with a succulent interior that's not rubbery. Make sure you consume each piece with the accompanying garlic chips, condiments and sauce - they'll make your steak taste 10x better.
These are, by far, the thickest and fattest sashimi I've ever had in my life! What's more, I got double the portion for the price of one thanks to Burpple Beyond 😍 Cheers to 1-for-1 Salmon Sashimi, Hamachi Belly Sashimi and Spicy Salmon Roll 😋 Really, really good and value-for-money 👍
😍 Not too late to indulge in the exclusive #PortaSG x #AhHuaKelong partnership dinner happening tonight and tomorrow.

New drinks place @kakuidas sets itself apart from other usual milk tea/fruit tea shops by serving up their drinks with kurozu, which is an Artisan Amber Rice Vinegar. I was somewhat perplexed over the ordering as they had 2 broad series of drinks infused with kurozu. The straight tea and milk tea series had the kurozu konnyaku while the rest of the drinks had the kurozu added into the drink. As a result of the kurozu, the drink carried with it a tangy and slightly sourish aftertaste. I did enjoy slurping up the konnyaku as it had a very soft jelly texture that just glides down the throat. I also added $0.60 to make my order a Party Tea set which included their signature original baked donut (UP $1.90). The donuts were made fresh and had a slightly crusty exterior and a rather strong egg flavour. It paired quite well with my drink.
Brought my foreigner friends here and they loved it!! We got a spread of local food. The roasted paradise's charsiew just melts in your mouth. A pity some of the charkueytiao and prawn mee stores we were eyeing werent open. Still, a very fruitful first food stop!

If spicy food is your thing then Tan Yu should be top of your list. Underneath all that chili is actually a pretty delicious fish but all I remember about this place is cursing inwardly about having to dunk the fish into a bowl of water before eating it.😨

They have different levels of spice but for some reason they were "sold out" of the milder alternatives.😒
