Roasted Angus Beef Bowl ($22++)
Chope's 1-for-1 promotion is for this & only this bowl. You might scoff at the beef being on skewers (I've had one too many dry & tough skewered meatz), but they were amazingly tender & I didn't feel like the utensils or my teeth were going to break. The homemade spicy garlic sauce is set to the side so you can adjust how spicy you want it to be. While the garlic taste isn't too strong, the chilli DOES pack a punch (you can see the chilli padi seeds inside), so go easy on your first dip.
Their signature purple sticky rice does not look like much, but somehow with the house salad on the side (quite reminds me of acar aka spicy pickled vegetables), everything was surprisingly harmonious.
I will admit, however, that $22++ for a bowl of this (i.e. without the 1-for-1 promotion) is on the steep side. But then again, this IS in a hotel in the heart of Orchard Road, so...... Shrugs.
