[CLOSED] Forest森

This is a heritage dish inherited from celebrity chef Sam Leong’s father, where Primrose pork ribs are marinated with fermented bean curd paste and wok fried with crispy garlic. Some Chinese pork ribs are crispy but risk being dried out within. This however was perfectly fried such that it remains juicy within.
🔸
In this year’s CNY menu, the restaurant’s Signature Fruit Smoked Salmon Yusheng (S$88++ for small, S$108++ for medium and S$128++ for large) made a return. It’s a sweet and zesty medley of tropical fruits such as jackfruit, green papaya and green mango and topped with crispy white bait and homemade citrus yuzu honey-lime dressing. Other CNY dishes include Pumpkin Bisque braised with snow swallow nest and crab meat; Fresh Green Lobster wok braised with chilies in Singapore style and served with crispy mantou; and Chef Leong’s signature Japanese Fragrant Rice steamed with Chinese sausages, pan-seared foie gras and served in a mini pumpkin (posted on 30 Dec 2019).
🔸
Set menus and yushengs will be available from 10 January to 8 February 2020.

We've known Chef Sam Leong to be the master of contemporary Chinese culinary, and now he has reinvented several dishes for CNY using premium ingredients.
🔸
One of the dishes is this 腊肠焖饭. Chef Sam took this comforting Cantonese classic, and tuned it up several notches with the use of Japanese pearl rice, premium Chinese sausages, and added pan-seared foie gras. All these are beautifully presented in a golden pumpkin bowl.
🔸
Set menus and yushengs will be available from 10 January to 8 February 2020.

I mean it, and I came back to have this a second time, just one week after I first had it during a tasting. It's only available this month, so don't procrastinate.
🔸
It may look like any Hainanese chicken, but it's execution was flawless. Flesh was sweet, while the skin was smooth. Also pay special attention to the 3 condiments - the chilli, the oyster sauce and the ginger. The chilli was fermented in house for 2 weeks with various ingredients including pineapples and white vinegar, the oyster sauce given a touch of fragrant fried garlic, and the ginger sauce lifted by spring onions. You don't get condiments as good as these anywhere else in Singapore, except maybe Chatterbox Mandarin Orchard which serves a different type of chilli and dark soy sauce, instead of fermented chilli and oyster sauce here.
🔸
I can also go on and on about the rice balls. But in short, it's fragrant and chewy, with some glutinous rice mixed in.
🔸
Chef Sam Leong humbly told me that the famous chicken rice balls in Malacca is better than his, and he explained to me why. And while I liked his a lot more, I find his humility is what made him so successful - that no matter how good your cooking is, you would admit there are better ones out there.

Forest is a fine dining Chinese restaurant in RWS, yet I felt right at home when I visited last evening. It's either Chef Sam Leong's candid personality, or his 76-year-old mum Chef Mama Leong's benevolent demeanor that filled this restaurant with warmth and lots of heart.
🔸
And likewise for Singapore's 54th birthday, Chef Sam will be paying homage to traditional Singaporean home cooked fare by Mama Leong. They'll be sharing her treasured recipes at Forest 森, and these are the food Chef Sam and family grew up eating. So #ComeForFood and for Chef Mama Leong's home cooking, as they'll be serving them affordably at Forest RWS for the entire month of August.

Pictured is our soup of the evening - double boiled pork rib soup with chayote melon. Clear light soup, yet having depth of flavours. Masterful.

First time at Forest森 at @Sentosa_Island and I had to say that we were impressed by the overall quality. This lobster was really fresh and the meat fell off its shell really easily. Swipe ⬅️ for more pics.
.
Available as part of the 5-course set (S$88++) but we had it at 1-for-1 using @Mastercard. Definitely satiated from the dining experience and of course the good deal. 😜
