[CLOSED] Ambush (Jem)

Decided to choose something out of my usual set at Ambush. This plate of risotto consists of bacon, ham, cheese, mushroom and some truffle oil. It is tasty, but slightly too salty. I couldn't finish the whole plate cause it gets a little jelark. Personally might not want to try again 👎

I didn't particularly like the mains here and was about to dismiss this place, but the dessert I had at the end of the meal redeemed them. A flourless sponge cake with Valrhona chocolate mousse and vanilla ice cream, this achieved the perfect richness and sweetness. It was yummy right to the last spoonful.

This consisted of a large piece of beer battered fish fillet and a small tin of truffle fries. Looked great but was a little disappointing. The batter tasted average and wasn't crispy enough. And though the fish meat was thick and firm, I could not eat it without drenching it in chilli and tartar. Truffle fries was pretty good though. It's so hard to get a good fish and chips in Singapore! Wish I am in Melbourne now.

Topped with one whole fried soft shell crab, the risotto dish was beautiful, a feast for the eyes. Rice was cooked al dente, firm to the bite. Squid ink sauce was pretty enjoyable though a little on the salty side for me. Soft shell crab was sufficiently crispy. Overall, average. Maybe I'm not a risotto person.

Thank you both for accommodating to my "wait for everything to come" request 😂

Muscle food. Meat meat and more meat!!!
