It may be a simple dish with few ingredients, but the depth of flavours is charmingly complex. @tipsypenguinsg crabmeat capellini ($16++) is built on appetising al dente capellini surrounded by a moat of luscious lobster bisque, and finished with an ample amount of crabmeat and a little bit of ikura (salmon roe).⠀
⠀
Tipsy Penguin’s menu describes this dish as ‘generous flakes of crabmeat tossed in homemade lobster bisque & ikura. We are not kidding when we say generous’. Well, they took the words right outta my mouth. Y’all see that abundance of honest to goodness crabmeat? Yeah, they deserve to toot their own horn, cause they ain’t lying about the amount of crab in the dish.⠀
⠀
The lobster bisque was fully loaded with unctuous umami, balanced with a little sweetness & brininess for maximum flavour force. It made for a perfect stock for the fresh crab & pasta, and the little bursts of salt from the explosive ikura serves to heighten the sublime sapidity of the lobster bisque.⠀

When I say that the crabmeat capellini from @tipsypenguinsg is seriously scintillating, there ain’t no bullcrab in that declaration.
