Savoury goodness for people who love carbs😝

Opted for the mini but portion was still a little too much for me. Loved how generous they were with the cubes of fresh sashimi, ratio to rice was great! Mushroom burdock rice is used instead of the typical sushi rice.

The shaved ice was incredibly soft and fluffy, probably how fresh snow tastes like haha. Layered with fresh cream espuma, strawberry syrup, milk syrup and freeze dried strawberries. There were also other interesting flavours like blue cheese, and sake cream!
This pop-up by Tokyo-based @sakanouecafe will end on 9 March and is limited to 200 bowls a day, pretty pricey at $13 but I do think it’s worth a try! 🙂

I liked the tart tasting ones (passionfruit/ the matcha which had yuzu). Pretty, so it would (look) good as a gift, but tasted mediocre for the price imo. Coffee was pretty decent!

I’ve always loved bread& butter pudding so had to get this! Heated it up in the oven and the top was crisp while insides were soft and slightly custardy, and what a pleasant surprise that there was chocolate within! Forgot to take a photo before digging in but the actual size is double of this.

Haven’t been to cafes in awhile, prices are rather pricey but so far everything I had was pretty good! The rosti was crisp, paired well with the mentaiko mayo and ikura; texture of the smoky octopus was just right! Topped with bonito flakes, it reminded me a little of okonomiyaki 😂

Al dente squid ink pasta, umami prawn bisque which was slightly garlicky. Prawns were slightly overcooked but this didn’t marr the enjoyment😬

Puff pastry with silky scrambled egg, mushroom and bacon, on Ikura Caviar Beurre Blanc. Really enjoyed this! The puff pastry was crisp, but of course, it gets soggy after soaking up the delish, fragrant butter sauce with the pop of brininess. Portion isn’t huge so this is perfect if you’re not too hungry.

Enjoyed the Umami Mentaiko Smoked Salmon toast which was served on thinly sliced sourdough toast. Thought it had a good well balanced flavour that was sweet, savory and refreshingly tangy from the mix of housemade mentaiko and Tobiko,pickled cucumber and creamy sous vide Nuyolk eggs.

Served on thinly sliced sourdough toast, flavours of the Bbq pulled pork was great too with silky scrambled egg and cabbage slaw.

Another dish that I enjoyed was the North Malaysia Slow Cooked Coconut Beef Brisket Stew - essentially, a rich and aromatic beef rendang with pretty tender beef chunks; which was served with my favourite pappadum and toast (rice option is also available!). This is supposed to be for sharing but I think I could’ve easily finished it on my own.

Evan’s Kitch is a small cafe tucked within a corner of City Gate, a tad obscure but the food we had were good, and menu is extensive enough for one to keep going back.

The mains were fantastic! The flavourful pork stew with al dente spaghetti was one of my favourite, tho I did find the nicely charred pork belly to be too fatty and would prefer a better meat/ fat ratio. Served also with sous vide egg which you can mix in for a creamier texture. Will be back for this!
