Left is served with olive oil, right is served with browned butter
There's capers but luckily it's v mild, I didn't even know which component contained capers lol
The pea puree and garlic aioli were pretty decent, octopus was on the firmer side with some crisp. Only problem is the portion, it's under seafood so you'd think it's a main but turns out it's tapas sized.
The staff will remind you about that when you order though
But boy oh boy, he under estimated us 💪🏻 When we came together, the happiness was so overwhelming that our appetite grew enormously 🤣

But of course the quality of the food, the taste of the dishes, the aromatic dining atmosphere & the friendly service staff did play a huge role in our joyful dining journey 😘

This was a small dish with oversized flavours. The capers and burnt butter gave the octopus so much umami. The octopus was also expertly grilled - very tender with a slight char. We were so impressed and made sure we mopped up every bit of the sauce.
![[Tanjong Pagar] The nicely grilled octopus had a smoky char while remaining tender; the burnt butter sauce adding a nuttiness, with the salty capers and creamy white bean purée providing a nice textural contrast to the bite of the octopus ($27).](https://burpple.imgix.net/foods/2f0a790ea92ce3e5adf41624441_original.?w=645&dpr=1&fit=crop&q=80&auto=format)

This char-grilled tentacle had a wonderful bouncy bite to it, served with a smooth white bean purée, briny capers and fragrant browned butter.
All the way up my alley 🤤

By the time this last-minute add-on order arrived at our table, I was feeling pretty full. However, after one bite, guess who was ready to plunge right in and gobble up the entire thing? Yup, this turned out to be a dish that hit all the right notes and then some!
Deeply smoky, the octopus was expertly grilled to the point where tenderness and a little bounce in the bite intersected. As juicy and naturally tasty as it was, the burnt butter sauce elevated the octopus to higher levels of satisfaction. The white bean purée and capers proved to be good complements too.
