Bakalaki

My favourite dish of the night!!! Traditional baked casserole of beef minced meat, eggplant, potato and bechamel sauce. They were extremely generous with the cheese and eggplant, LOVE IT

A traditional baked casserole of beef minced meat, eggplant, potato & béchamel sauce.

Heavy covered with all the ingredients but wasn’t too overwhelming to me.

This was good too! The eggplant, potatoes and bechamel sauce came together nicely and was very tasty. They didn’t heavily season it, the natural flavours of the eggplant and potatoes were allowed to come through.

Can’t help but compare this to Blu Kouzina’s version, which had a strange aftertaste. Safe to say, I definitely enjoyed Bakalaki‘s rendition much more.

when we step into @bakalakigreektaverna. Simple elegant with earthy tones and patterned fabrics, it reflects the easy-going Greek feeling!

Start off on a great note as we dig into the platter of dips and freshly baked pitas. Moved on to Htapodi aka Grilled Octopus ($32.90). Cooked with oregano and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, we can’t get enough of this charred yet tender octopus.

Another dish, Moussaka ($25.90) comes at the strong recommendation of my friends. Traditional baked casserole of beef minced meat, eggplant, potato & béchamel sauce, just look how creamy good it is.

Who’s a fan of Greek food here? I’m no expert in Greek food but I can say that I really like Bakalaki. It’s fresh, hearty and flavourful.

A Greek dish that’s popular is Moussaka, a baked casserole of sliced aubergine (eggplant), sliced potatoes, minced beef topped with Bechamel sauce. It has a very rich, meaty homemade feel when you eat this dish. And please don’t compare it to lasagne. They’re entirely different.

They’re open for takeaway/ delivery during this CB period. So do check them out if you wanna have Greek/ Mediterranean food at home.

Good but not the best that I have tried. Could be more chewy. It’s one of their signatures here but I feel you could skip this and go for their salad/ moussaka instead.

2 Dips are Hummus and Tyrokafteri (spicy feta cheese spread). For the main we ordered moussaka and grilled octopus. Food and atmosphere is good, but didn't give me "wow" experience.

Super savoury and portion is perfect for two people!

One of the rare few Greek restaurants in Singapore. Love the food, great vibes and service 👍🏻 try their feta cheese with honey and sesame, moussaka casserole n skewers!
