Brand new year, same old me spamming your Instagram with food porn and I feel no shame for it. @fyr.sg has been on my wishlist for years, but it’s only recently that I finally got my ass in gear to dine there. @fyrjalanbesar opening up closer to my crib was a factor, but the real reason is that they’re now on #burpplebeyond.⠀

The @burpple 1-for-1 selection is disappointingly limited, but I was definitely NOT disappointed by this fantastic Free Range Half Chicken ($22++). Perhaps I approached this dish with absolutely zero expectations, but good lord this was divinely delectable. It’s diminutive in size but certainly not in flavour, as the little bird is grilled perfectly. Even the breast meat is astonishingly moist, juicy and adequately savoury. Those little char marks you see on the skin added a seductive smokiness to the bird, and it was damn near perfect.
⠀
The curious curried brown butter sauce was luscious & sapid with a little sourness to restrain the richness of the sauce. It really did taste of curry powder, but it lacked any sort of heat. What it didn’t lack, however, was flavour & satisfaction. The roast potatoes were done decently, and I’ve always loved olives so I’m a happy man with that.⠀

Fyr got off to such a good start with this hearty half chicken that me and my pals ordered seconds. And thanks to Burpple Beyond, those seconds were even sweeter.
