Welcome to West Coast. Looking for Western places?

It was a manic week on the home front as I was rushing to do some CNY preparation + shopping during this Christmas holiday break. We finally managed to end it off with a nice meal at this cosy restaurant for Christmas.

We tucked into their fresh salmon sashimi, moreish calamari and sautéed clams, flavourful and luscious crab meat & prawns in ragu sauce, mouthwatering parma ham with sweet melon and a nourishing bowl of chilled double-boiled bird’s nest soup dessert. Yums! 😋

This well-known fried chicken chain should be very familiar to many of us, when they used to be at Bukit Timah; before moving their location to West Coast side under NEWest.

Was hosting a birthday party nearby so ordered their 9 pieces fried chicken bucket for guests to enjoy.

Definitely crunchy enough to enjoy the pieces of their fried chicken.

It’s finally Friday, so go get some beers to celebrate from @getsome.sg . I stumbled upon their Clementi location after a hard day’s work out on a job site in the wild West of Singapore, and I was stunned to see this beer pub pouring up pints at the void deck of a block of flats. Son of a gun, I wish my block had a craft beer pub on the ground floor too.
⠀
Get Some also got some rather decent brewskis on tap and Happy Hour offers till eight pm daily on deck. Pints of Get Some’s own lager & Hofbräu on tap for eight bucks before extra charges? Pints of craft brews from twelve to twenty dollars? Yes please, let me get some more, like this $20++ pint of Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout from @northcoastbrewingcompany.
⠀
From what I understand, this is a pretty rare brew, and its rarity is matched by its deliciousness. Just like the real Rasputin, this stout is big and strong, in its eyes a flaming glo-sorry. The stout’s heavy body is smooth and creamy, chock full of the aroma & flavour of extra chocolatey mocha, barley malt & caramel, with a slight hazelnut aroma with every sip. The complexity and weight of each sip certainly helps to hide the punchy 9% alcohol content, but I drank it all and said “I feel fine.”

First things off the bat, the Signature Tenderthighs ($13) is DAMM GOOD. Piping hot straight out of the fryer, we could already tell that this was gonna be a treat. The crust was extra extra crunchy, and you better not leave it aside - the batter was so damn flavourful and unique with the Chinese-y taste of clove and five spice. The chicken was so juicy and tender and I loved the tinge of sweetness from the caramelised outer layer. Overall, amazing fried chicken and easily one of the best in Singapore. This will be on my mind for the next few weeks.

We also had the Angus Cheeseburger ($16) which was honestly pretty good. The beef patty was bursting with flavour and juices, with the buttered brioche buns firm with a crisp outer layer. Unexpectedly delicious.

Don't scoff at the fries too, the oregano spices have it an interesting and unique twist that worked pretty well!
