[CLOSED] Rookery (China Square)

Crabmeat linguine was quite nice, there was quite a decent amount of crabmeat and the sauce wasn’t too thick. Also got the truffle fries and I liked that the fries was crispy!!!! Very worth it with burpple beyond 👌

Was pleasantly surprised to find a generous amount of meat in their crabmeat pasta ($18). Sauce was pretty thick too.

Burpple 1 for 1 options are a bit limited as we could only choose the aglio olio ($10), vongolle ($14) and crabmeat pasta.

You might think the Vongole Alla Blanc ($16++) is served with the same sauce as the Scallops, but they tasted different to me. The Korean clams are swimming in a broth made from garlic, white wine & chilli flakes for a nice kick. I preferred to dip my toast into this one!

Thanks Rookery for the hospitality & Burpple for the invite! 💕

Being a seafood lover, the Scallops ($22++) is totally my kind of dish. Nicely seared Hokkaido scallops that are plump & juicy, served in a pool seaweed & miso butter.

As I chomped down on my first scallop, I liked how firm its texture was without being rubbery. I dipped the crispy thin toast into the butter & was impressed. It's pretty good; I had to go for seconds.

If you're all about the nibbly life, Rookery has a Tapas menu (available after 3PM) you can choose from. I can't say much about the Har Cheong Gai Wings ($16++) as I don't eat chicken wings, even more so when they are fried... But damn this smelled hella good.

The other tapas we had, clockwise from bottom left:
᛫ Wagyu Beef ($25++)
᛫ Meatballs ($17++) - these are made of beef, btw
᛫ Iberico Pork Ribs ($18++)
᛫ Sakura Ebi Capellini ($14++)
᛫ Crispy Pork Belly ($17++)

I usually order & enjoy pasta dishes at Rookery's other outlets, so I was eager to try their mains. These mains are available from 11:30AM onwards, great for the CBD crowd to drop by for lunch & dinner.

Being so used to their pasta & as noodle lover in general, I was surprised how much I enjoyed these mains.

I eat sooo much chicken at home that I rarely order chicken when I'm dining out. However, it delights me when I'm served up a good chicken - & that's what the Roast Chicken & Stuffing ($25++) was. The cranberry stuffing made this dish slightly sweet, & you get your fill of carbs with the creamy mashed potato underneath & roasted pumpkin.
