More Reviews of good food at Open Door Policy

Impressive decor that made me feel like I am in a mini garden. While the food was nice, I am not sure if u'd pay this amt for a gluten-free meal. Nevertheless, happy to catch up with the group โ˜บ๏ธ till the next time... #burrple #burpplesg #saturdaybrunch #tiongbahru

Good curry flavour with the egg yolk cooked (runny) just right. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Quite impressed with their menu. I think their offerrings are more interesting and inventive than most cafes, which is commendable given that everything gluten free and dairy free. We had the King Crab Benedict and Mountain Yam Rosti. Both lovely. I actually distinctly remember enjoying the gluten free bread that came with the benedict. It had a nice chewiness to it, and was great for mopping up the hollandaise and egg yolk.

We love their Avocado Jumbo Lump Crab Salad, Vegetable Tempura Risotto, Sous-Vide Salmon and Dairy-Free Apple Crumble Dessert!

Thanks a lot to @blessincasia and Melissa for the invitation and the warm hosting. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ“ท Vegetable Tempura Risotto (SGD$25). The potato based risotto rice is so comforting with its light flavour. The crispy vegetable tempura includes okra, baby carrots, oyster mushroom and broccoli that were battered with rice flour and deep fried.

Brick wall, wooden yet classy place. The music's probably too loud, but a pretty good place

Pan Seared Sea Bass ($32)-crispy skin, refreshing salad with some cashew crunches. Really nice 4.25/5

Excellent dessert! Beautiful on the sight and light on the palate. Just the right sweetness with fruity sourness.

If I could only have one dish from their menu, it will be their risotto. Super creamy. Right texture. The veal was tender and its sauce cling onto the risotto so nicely.

We had the ribeye steak ($38++) and pan-seared threadfin with Thai mango salad($32++).
Though not sufficiently filling for us, it's obvious they used only top quality ingredients.

Satisfying meal.
(Mocha was too watery imo)

Turned restriction to inspiration. Entire gluten and dairy free diet by Assistance Head Chef Freddy Ang. .
|
The "bread" you see was made with grinned nuts which they used the "milk" of the nuts for other dishes. .
|
Pretty good taste. Maybe because of the low light condition, their food looked much better than these.

Start your meal at Open Door Policy with the Vitel Tone โ€”sous vide veal loin sitting on a gluten free flat bread drizzled with tuna mayo and pickled purple cabbage. I liked the contrast between the crispy cracker and tender veal, seasoned with the tangy vegetables and creamy sauce.

The tartness of the calamansi & lime zest custard and the bitterness of the chocolate tart shell of the Calamansi Chocolate Tart is a match made in heaven. This no-bake tart was super satisfying with those chocolatey notes but did not feel heavy on my stomach with the refreshing custard. Topped with torched meringue and dehydrated calamansi slices, I was glad it wasn't overly sweet and had the flavors well balanced out.

ACAMASEATS & GTK๐Ÿ’ฎ: After about 3 weeks of trial & error, Chef Freddy found the right ratio for the flour of the spaghetti. Definitely a challenge without the binding assistance of Gluten, the texture & bite does feel like Kuzukiri (ใใšใใ‚Š) ๐Ÿ˜‹

Just like finding the right partner, after trials & errors, missteps & lust. The Errors of making hasty judgements & one comes to appreciate the subtle difference between the superficial & the essential. Pride & Prejudice basically. ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿป

ACAMASEATS & GTK๐Ÿ’ฎ: The Japanese inspiration is very evident here. Starting from the rice flour battered Tempura which consists of; okra, baby carrots, oyster mushrooms & broccoli fried to a crisp. ๐Ÿค
.
Served on a bed of potato based risotto rice (which explains the creaminess) garnished with pickled pink ginger for that slight spiciness that one can find in many Japanese restaurants, which was the best part of the dish. ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿป

ACAMASEATS & GTK๐Ÿ’ฎ: The zesty yolk based calamansi & lime zest custard was made so smooth & addictive. With the contrast of a non-baked bitter chocolate tart shell that made every spoonful a delight, tangling sensation on your palate. ๐Ÿคค
.
Finished off with dollops of torched meringue & dehydrated calamansi slices that is the finale of the orchestra with the crescendo. Gracing the stage are edible flowers & a sprinkling of confectioner's sugar. This is the epitome of orgasm in your mouth, every bite demands a second one. Very much like love making, one is never quite enough. ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿป

ACAMASEATS & GTK๐Ÿ’ฎ: This Victoria Secret-ish Model Dessert, Like how a supermodel wears her sponsored perfume that stands out in a crowd of ladies, this dessert demands your attention from distance away due to the sous vide Apple chunks marinated in 8 different spices which packed a punch from far away. ๐Ÿ˜‰
Upon arrival it captivates one with the aroma of the distinctive Nutmeg, Cinnamon & Cloves (Seductive scent, Spectacular curves & Stripped down sexy)
With this oozing Beaut, one actually scores (Big Time, bonus if she's a Yoga Practitioner, Yeas) compared to the other girls in the room. ๐Ÿคค

This is one of the better rendition of Apple Crumble I've had, plus points when it's made with a GFDF concept in mind. Crunchy oat flour with EV coconut oil crumble & a side of cashew nut milk crรจme anglaise. One of the Best around. ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿป

Loved the steak! The salad on the side was also amazing.

The a la carte menu sees 15 new Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free items, among which the Vitel Tonรฉ ($25++) received praises for its composition of tender veal loin, creamy tuna mayo and pickled cabbage on GFDF fried bread, which came together like one big summertime party.

Celiacs can now have their (gluten-free) pasta and eat it. Chef Freddy swops durum wheat for rice flour in the Spaghetti Alle Vongole ($28++), rendering a familiar mouthfeel reminiscent of a more al dente thick vermicelli (็ฒ—็ฑณ็ฒ‰) jazzed up with creamy white miso sauce and sweet clams.

Come dessert, we clamoured over the deliciously balanced Calamansi Chocolate Tart ($16), while the Dairy-free Apple Crumble ($16) drew polarising reactions with its 8-spice blend; highly aromatic or overwhelming, you decide. #GFDF may be a tall order, but thankfully for us, was realised with aplomb by Chefs Ryan Clift & Freddy Ang and the ODP team ๐Ÿค›

Thank you @opendoorpolicysg and @burpple for the invitation and hospitality!

There's too many favourite options for me at Open Door Policy cos everything is gluten-free, but this is definitely one of them.

King Crab Orecchietteโ€”with nice big chunks of crab, crisp snap peas and a saffron corn sauce. Love the pasta here as it's very rare to find gluten-free pasta that actually tastes good and has an enjoyable texture like normal pasta. The pasta and sauces are all made from scratch to ensure even coeliacs can enjoy the food. Plus they grow and use their own herbs in the restaurant.

ODP is also dairy-free and provides vegetarian options if you're looking for a place that suits friends with selective food requirements.

Truly wholesome Watercress Soup with sous-vide poached egg and served with gluten-free fried bread.

You definitely need to love your veggies and watercress to like this soup cos it has a bitter after-taste. But if you're ok with that, this rich soup has a super smooth texture with sweetness from Wolfberries, and the addition of the poached egg adds an extra comforting touch.

This is suitable for Vegetarians and is gluten-free and dairy-free too.

4.5 munchies: Topped with sweet, briny white clams and garnished with Italian parsley, the al dente rice-flour spaghetti was cooked to perfection. The creamy, non-dairy Japanese white miso sauce was absolutely smashing โ€“ savoury, peppery, and garlicky with acidity from the crisp white wine. Served best when hot, the Spaghetti alle Vongole is perfect for coeliacs and others who have to avoid gluten! #Burpproved

This was a hosted meal by Open Door Policy; many thanks to Bless Inc. Asia for the warm hospitality and invitation!
