I had an early birthday celebration at Iggy's and was absolutely delighted with my meal. What I chose was the 10-course Gastronomic Menu and the first item on that list stated "Snacks". There were six of those. Yes, SIX! 😄

Here is the list (clockwise from top left in photo):

1) Singapore Sling: An aperitif in the form of a slippery smooth, sweet jelly dome accompanied by freeze-dried fruit kicked things off.
2) Uni: Fresh sea urchin in a gently savoury and extremely soft jelly. This ranks in my top three amongst all the snacks.
3) Corn: Another favourite because I was very taken by the way the curry element gave the Hokkaido sweet corn an unexpected but delicious twist.
4) Roti John: Such an inspired interpretation of our local Indian hawker fare using chicken liver mousse and apple. I was momentarily stupefied when the bread disintegrated in my mouth.
5) Burger: A refined creation that involved a piece of fried fish tucked into the lightest, softest bun. I could down half a dozen easily.
6) Durian Croquette: The boldest of the snacks and very well executed. Each crunchy-skinned ball contained durian pulp that had some anchovies blended in. It was then finished with whitebait and kumquat aioli to form a pungent-sweet-savoury combo.
