We were very happy with the recent delivery from @marcys.sg. Kudos to the team for their new strategy and efforts đź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź
Helmed by new Head Chef @ryan.gram all the food that arrived was well presented and more importantly, tasted as delicious as if you were to have it at the restaurant. Of course, you’ll have to discount the forgiveable temperature change due to travel time.
We went straight for the assortment of small plates first - each, a surprising delight that punched above its weight in tastiness. My favourite of them was the Burnt Milk Corn that had rows of naturally sweet corn come together with a refreshing cilantro yogurt and moreish chorizo crumbs ($12). Our tongues got tingling with the Calabrian chilli and Sichuan oil-dressed Marcy’s Spicy Clams ($16). It is a must-try for fans of 麻辣 (“ma la”). To cool off, we dug into the chilled Crab Rillettes with the accompanying baguette chips ($21).
Thanks for letting us try your new Oyster & Shrimp Po’Boy too. I think it was a well-crafted and tasty seafood roll. And with those crunchy fried oysters, sweet prawns, red cabbage slaw, pickles and aioli, a good-value buy at $19.
I remember swooning over the Rigatoni with red wine-braised octopus and beef tendon ($26) when we visited the restaurant shortly after their opening. The Lasagne version in their previous takeaway menu was fine but in my opinion, the original still beats it. Even when it had cooled down, there was no comprise to tastiness.
Having said that, the pasta dish did have a new rival for my affection - the formidable Mafaldine with anchovies in a garlic-strewn bone sauce, spiked with fresh lemon juice and Calabrian chilli ($24).
Our dose of protein that day came in the form of a hefty and juicy grilled Iberico Pork Chop. I relished every bite of the bold direction it took with sidekicks of an uncommon Marcy’s Mole (it’s like a very, very thick non-sweet chocolate sauce which has a touch of tang and heat) and spicy jalapeños ($36).

Thanks again for this delivered meal and for throwing in your signature cocktails too, @tonghann and Team @marcys.sg - @trishapotato @ryan.gram @daniel_raghani.
