From Scaled by Ah Hua Kelong, which is situated in Bar Stories at Haji Lane. This dish employs the use of elements such as Lemon Dill Vinaigrette, Caramalised Onions and Hummus.

The freshness of the seabass was absolutely commendable here — its flaky but comes off nicely; no stray bits coming off strewn on the side, while the flesh was really smooth and succulent, almost without the need to bite. The accompanying hummus comes as a refreshing change from the usual mash, though the hummus felt a little toned down in the spices used for the flavour; probably down-played considering the fish is the main star of the dish and also to accommodate the tastebuds of locals somewhat. Not sure if the black bits are actually caramalised onions, but they were sweet and carried a bit of a bite as well as a plum-like sweetness, while the crumbs on the top gave the dish a bit of crunch for a textural contrast.
