Fura (Amoy)

If you thought that @fura.sg small plates were intriguing, wait till you finish your drinking session with some of their desserts. Just like the tapas portions, Fura uses mundane & easily available vegetarian ingredients & reconstructs them into something unique & wonderful.⠀
⠀⠀
For the more peculiar dessert, Fura has a King Belote ($15++) that’s built from zucchini turned into an upsized financier, mushroom ice cream, and lemon yogurt meringue. The zucchini cake is slightly bitter, but it goes perfectly with the salty & umami mushroom ice cream and the sweet & tangy lemon yogurt. Salty, umami, sweet, creamy and even a little bitter, almost every last taste profile is represented here and it was an unexpectedly satisfying dessert.⠀
⠀
Fura has thoroughly impressed me: not only have they managed to make vegetarian cuisine intriguing, they’ve made it plenty delicious too.

Take for example this superb Smokey Banana ($12++). Deep fried bananas are dressed in a banana cream, dulce de leche that’s been spiked with Courvoisier VSOP and a pasilla sauce. The familiar flavour & crisp texture of the deep fried bananas resembles that of goreng pisang (deep fried bananas). However, the rich & slightly boozy dulce de leche makes the bananas feel like a banana split instead. Either way, it’s a deliciously sweet way to eat bananas.

Every man needs regular post nut clarity in his life, and @fura.sg Post Nut Clarity ($25++) as well. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve mostly forgotten what this drink tasted like, all I remember was that the Remy Martin 1738 cognac made this tipple delightfully weighty & smooth, and the aroma of hazelnut added a nice nuttiness to proceedings. ⠀
⠀
As for the cocktails my pals got, I remember a Pick Me Up ($25++) being ordered. According to Fura’s menu description, it’s a ‘coffee’ cocktail with ayuuk as the base spirit. And finally, the Caviar Papi ($28++) was crafted out of Grey Goose vodka, kombu cream & caviar.⠀
⠀
Fura has an exceptionally wild & wacky cocktail menu, and I’d certainly recommend any cocktail appreciator to come to Fura & have a tipple at least once. Just don’t forget to be young at heart when sampling these innovative cocktails.

If you think @fura.sg food is the most innovative thing about them, wait till you find out that they ferment five of their own wines. Yes you read that right, Fura produce their own wines! Forget importing some premium drops from the Old World or the New World, Fura makes it their own world.⠀

If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, the Funk Flex ($23++ a glass) pairs the same refreshingly fizzy mouthfeel with aromas of sweet & sour pineapple, along with smoky notes reminiscent of the peat that you’d get from a robust Scotch. The Funk Flex is a little sharp, slightly sweet and a total joy to slowly savour.⠀
⠀
Fura’s modest lineup of the five wines that they ferment themselves are quite easily the most memorable part of the menu for me. I believe my fellow wine connoisseurs will be sufficiently intrigued & impressed by the fabulous fermented wines, and I kinda regret not seeing if Fura sells bottles of their wacky but wonderful wine.⠀
