Unique Foods In SG
Was at garden by the bay over the week and chanced upon this cocktail bar. Despite being at gbtb, their mains and sides were decently priced, not too expensive for being at a tourist attraction.
I ordered the pork ribs and my partner got steak, and we had Brussels sprouts to share. The steak was cooked just as we liked (medium rare), and the rub on the ribs was really good too. But the best dish was the Brussels sprouts. Boiled then fried, topped with a vinegar dressing, the entire dish really took us by surprise and amazed us!
We tried their cocktails also - and their cocktails are really an experience. My partner got the edible cocktail - i’d say this is stronger than the others, and had an interesting experience of eating shaved ice (like an ice cream) before it melted into a drink. I got the ube one and those who love taro - this is for you. For someone that cant take strong drinks, the alcohol taste was really watered down by the ube ice cream! We couldnt help ourselves but try their gbtb exclusive (cant recall the name but it was above the ube one). It wasnt too strong and had a good mix of floral nodes in it. Best part is it came lit up and served in a glass that resembled the super trees!
Overall, great service and food. Must try is their cocktails!
The bagels were crispy and satisfying. The baked paired well with the whip cream which was rich and sweet. I enjoyed the bagels alot - sprinkled a few drops of water over it, reheated it in the toaster and came out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Highly recommend the original and yuzu one! Price is $9.90 for any 6. Super worth my money and calories!
I chanced upon this place and was blown away by the food. We had a starter, 2 pizzas and a dessert. The fried burrata was fried to perfection and the cheese went really well with the tomato puree and balsamic balls! The sourdough pizzas were unique, we got the Jap A Dog and Hot Assam. The Hot Assam one reminded me of Penang assam laksa, slightly saltier and sour tastes really went well together. Jap A Dog had a slight Japanese twist, with kewpie mayo on it. This one was slightly sweeter but still really delicious. If you like chilli flakes/chilli oil on pizza, you have to ask them for their home made chilli flakes - it's one of the best chilli oil/flakes i have eaten and i can see it going well with other cuisines too! (you can buy it in a bottle, and i have no regrets getting one after the meal!)
We ended the dinner with their tiramisu - and learnt that it is the same recipe as their sister brand "Fat Belly Group". Would definitely recommend it for the big portion, spongey cake and rich mascarpone cheese!
A drink to try would be their yuzu fizz! I dont like sweet drinks so when i requested for it to be made less sweet, the manager offered tonic instead of soda and the drink was not too sweet, to my liking! They also have 1 for 1 on their alcoholic drinks (beer, wines, etc), which goes really well with their food!
Their staff were really attentive and always attended to us before having us approach them for more water/sharing plates! Food service was relatively fast as well, with not much waiting time between the appetizers, mains and dessert!
10/10 experience here and i will definitely be back!
We went on a tuesday night and luckily we made a reservation - the place was crowded and almost all the tables were taken.
We got their crab with mentaiko, grilled squid, pork jowl and garlic fried rice. The food was great - well seasoned and delicious. Special shoutout to the squid and the pork jowl!! The squid paired perfectly with the mayo sauce and the pork jowl was tender, soft and when eaten with the egg - a burst of flavours in my mouth. The service was really good, the waiters were attentive and refilled my water before me asking. They also have certificates to recommend sake - so if you drink, definitely get their recommendations as they are experts.
Really enjoyed my time there, total was about $40 per pax (after gst and svc charge). Will be back again!
Tried 2 different flavours, and all were so stuffed with generous amounts of liao (ingredients)!! The glutinous rice was well seasoned and each dumpling was shiok in a different way. The serving size is also not too big, which makes it a delicious meal/afternoon snack!
Location is abit out of the way, but it is nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle of malls. The food was good (their pasta was so umami, loved every bite and their chicken burger was nicely cooked, chicken was tender and had a generous side of fries)! I suspect their nachos used cheesy doritos, and was abit too cheesy for me, but cheese lovers will definitely love it! Their gula melaka cake was also rly nice, not too sweet and had a nice spongey layer.
Tried 5 different flavours, and all were so stuffed with generous amounts of liao (ingredients)!! My favourite one was the emperor one, where it had pork, egg and mushrooms! The glutinous rice was well seasoned and each dumpling was shiok in a different way. My family also enjoyed the dumplings, must say it makes for a delicious meal/afternoon snack!
To start off, the food was amazing - the 2 steaks we had were cooked perfectly, and the sauces (salt, some garlic aioli and bbq?) served with it went very well with the meats! The appetizers were interesting yet delicious (we had the pig's head and sautéed squid), the meal was wrapped up with a a good tiramisu! The dessert wasn't heavy, but fluffy and light, tying the whole meal together very well! The staff were also very attentive and explained the dishes to us before we ate. I would highly recommend this place for a date out, or a gathering amongst friends! It is really fine dining done well, at a reasonable price!
Was looking for a steakhouse near me and I chanced upon FBG. Had the denver and deckle steak there, where they were served with salt and charred garlic. The steaks were served medium rare and it was indeed medium rare (unlike other steakhouses I've been to)! We also ordered some sides to go with the steaks, being the creamed kale and the grilled broccolini. I would recommend the broccolini as it was served with a tangier sauce which helped balance out the "heavier" steaks. It's location is also very accessible, being a 5min walk from Botanic Gardens. Would highly recommend it for any date nights, or a hearty dinner out with friends and family!
This bowl of prawn noodles slaps......!!! I cant even get over how rich the broth was, had an umami taste and wasn't too thin. I opted for the prawns and tobico balls, while my partner got the prawns and shabu shabu! The serving seemed small but we were so full after!! We got kway teow as our noodles and would highly recommend it. We also got their tasting platter of ngoh hiang, and wow every bite was so delicious, bouncy and fresh. Will highly recommend for any occasion!
Did not expect to find such a good brunch place in joo chiat! Their staff were very friendly and the food was good! Would highly recommend their beef pasta and miso pancakes!! fun twist on the normal options, very pleasantly surprised, would come back again!
The dumplings were so good, each dumpling had a different filling and we had so much fun tasting all of it! The soup was great, light, and not too heavy despite the amount of sour cream poured over it! The pork chebureki "curry puff like" side was super good as well, crispy and not too oily!! The cake was slightly on the sweeter side but was unique and delicious!
On top of that, the staff was so friendly! He explained to us each dish and answered our questions patiently! Really made the entire experience so much more enjoyable! Will definitely recommend it if you're looking to try a new cuisine (especially since we can't travel now) :-)
