Oh thank the Lord we can finally dine-out again! I initially had a reservation for @rawkitchenbar but had to cancel due to the last minute restrictions - hence when they were lifted, I got right back and of course made another reservation.

The Bali aesthetic at Raw Kitchen Bar was just stunning and a nice breather from the city. (Especially since we can't travel.) This outdoor bar and restaurant serves up soul comfort food with a Latin-Asian inspiration.

And of course, that Black Mamba definitely got my attention. Consisting of black fried rice, tiger prawns, squid ink sofrito, fermented chilli sambal and curry leaves - I was kinda apprehensive about the spice level but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't spicy at all. The sambal added a whole new level of flavour profiles to the black fried rice and I highly recommend eating them together!

I was also eyeing their Open Faced Salmon Mentaiko but dang it, it was only available for brunch - though I might just have to head back again.
