Sambal grouper with cilantro rice and mangosteen salsa $44

This is a very tasty dish with firm grouper flesh paired with a tantalising sambal sauce. Mangosteen salsa is a first for me and I like it.

Had the sichuan pork noodles, fried pierogi and salted plum wolfberry pu-erh tea.

The drink sounded interesting but wasn’t as tasty as I thought it will be. Sichuan pork noodles had the taste of the right spices. What stood out for me was the fried pierogi. It’s something not commonly found in SG, the mashed potato and bacon mixture just taste so good together with the slight crunchy dumpling skin.

Place is small, abit dark and really noisy. Will recommend to go with just a friend. Not exactly a place for date.

Restaurant week special menu @$116 for two pax.

For starters there were fried bun with chilli crab sauce. The buns were very chewy, not the texture that I prefer. Chilli crab sauce was average as well. The next item which is the fried chicken bao fared better. Bao was soft and formed a nice contrast with the fried chicken.

Main dish is the pastrami beef short rib that was super tender. Accompanying sides were fries and Brussel sprouts. Dessert ended with a giant smore for sharing.

Portion is big and definitely filled the both of us up. Not sure I will be back as there isn’t any wow factor.

Part of Set dinner $98. Items are creative but competition is fierce. Will probably need a signature dish for people to return to.
