Drinks (with dinner, maybe)

Inspired by the Kulfi dessert, the staff will actually 'churn' the cocktail with dry ice at your table to make a creamy alcoholic sorbet. Incredibly innovative, somewhat performative (for a cocktail that could then be finished in about 5 scoops), but otherwise good fun overall.

Presentation slightly lacking (look at that bown mush!), as was the food itself. While the sous vide ribs were tender, the accompanying stewed vegetables 'sauce' was lacklustre and strangely lukewarm. Overall not a bad dish, but not good either. Served with prawn crackers and achar i.e. get your carbs somewhere else

Cocktail presentation was truly A+++, and from what we observed every cocktail had a different theme to it - loved it! Trade Winds was a blend of sweet and spicy, with a hint of umami from the kombu infused caracha. There were even accompaniments of a sort-of fruit salsa and kacang puteh. Fruity and refreshing, this was a great (and pretty) drink to end off the night. Will definitely be back to sample the other cocktails.

Decent fish and chips but I had Lad & Co's version just a day earlier so comparisons were subconsciously made. Quality of the fish was good but batter could be crispier and more flavourful. Fries and salad were pretty standard but the awesome sambal remoulade dip was the one thing bringing everything together.

We were looking forward to this dish the most but unfortunately, this failed to deliver. Taste was very lacklustre, almost to the point of blandness, and the supposed truffle oil was sorely lacking. The mushrooms and lotus crisps were a consolation to this ultimately disappointing pasta.

Had the Carbonara Pasta and Truffle Risotto (both u.p. $22). Carbonara was pretty bad - sauce was practically non-existent as was the taste. The only saving grace was the roast pork which was unexpectedly good. Truffle Risotto still slaps, but felt it could be a little less watery. Will come back on Mon-Wed for the all day happy hour.

Pretty standard, neither good nor bad. Smattering of burrata lent a slight creaminess, and the sun-dried tomatoes gave some umami. Good to share as I slowly became bored of this after a few slices.

King River Prawn Thai Braised Glass Noodle ($36) - Absolutely ginormous prawns, complete with roe, nestled atop a bed of prawn broth-infused tanghoon. Tanghoon could have benefited from some garlic and lard, but overall it was enjoyable.

Claypot Pad Kra Prao Pork Cheek ($34) - Tender chunks of braised pork cheeks in a basil sauce. Felt the pad kraprao-ness could have been stronger, overall tasted like sweet dark sauce with a touch of basil.

Cocktails were unique and well worth trying! Had the Spicy Mango Sour (top left, $16) and Thai Basil Martini (bottom right, $18).

True to its name, be wowed by their (very, very big) basket of beers - an extensive variety adorn the many fridges lined up by the entrance, enticing you to pick one (or more) out on the way to the register. Go wild!

Food wise, the Truffle Mushroom pizza ($23) and Fiery Crab and Shrimp Aglio Olio ($22) were decent. I quite liked the truffle bachamel base of the pizza, though reminiscent of the cream-based sauce of a certain pizza chain. Pasta was undercooked, tragically, but the olive oil base was quite addictive so, meh, whatever.

tldr; come for the happy hour and the chill vibes!

Came by on a Monday night and was shown to the 'outdoor' area with a view of the fountain area - very dreamy albeit a little dark and too close to the next table. Had the Argentinian Prawn Pasta ($26) with fresh and juicy prawns on a light pomodoro sauce pasta, and the Arroz con Cangrejo ($26) which had rich squid ink risotto but was let down by the soft shell crab which felt like it was left out in the open for too long.

Started the meal with the mains because why not? The mentaiko pasta ($15) was so damn umami and wasn't as creavy-heavy as I was worried it would be. Do avoid clumping the shredded seafood when mixing as they lent a briney pop to the bite. Next, the Unagi Fried Rice ($11) was wonderfully sweet and charred, with the piece of Unagi being very nicely grilled. Ate them separately but might follow others' recc to mix everything together next time. Following the carbs, our sides came; started with the Fried Corn ($6) which was SERIOUSLY GOOD like each individual kernel was battered and deep-fried so it's sweet and crispy, and when paired with the accompanying sauces (some mayo+tobiiko hybrid and a Miso tartar?) it is seriously legit. Great to pair with drinks! The Ox Tongue ($12) came last and while good, wasn't as spectacular as I expected it to be. Overall, it was a good meal and will come back for happy hour.

Always love the chill vibes here, and the food while slightly expensive are consistently great. The dish that was the highlight was strangely enough the cauliflower steak, it was sooo good - the grilled cauliflower alone was so flavourful, but paired with the romesco sauce took it to a whole other level. We loved the other dishes as well.
