South Union Park

Those whom have been following us for the last decade would probably have recalled our visits to South Union Park in the past — situated along Jalan Kembangan in a shophouse unit that is located within a short walk away from Kembangan MRT Station, South Union Park is a favourite with us for quite a while best known for their handmade pastas that they had been serving up before other establishments with the local F&B scene had caught on with such fare. These folks celebrate their 10th anniversary of their establishment this year — South Union Park being where they had first started out their journey in the local F&B scene before expanding to other concepts such as that of Tombok Tombok and Eleven Strands over the years. With them marking their first decade in operations, South Union Park has also refreshed their menu to include new offerings whilst serving up familiar favourites over the years.

The Porcini Ravioli with Mixed Mushroom is one of the few new dishes that has been added to the menu of South Union Park in conjunction with their tenth anniversary celebrations — the dish can be found in the Pasta section of the menu. The menu describes the Porcini Ravioli with Mixed Mushroom as a dish that comes with elements such as mixed forest mushrooms, mushroom cream sauce, Arugula and Parmesan. South Union Park had established its name from their handmade filled pastas ever since its founding, and the Porcini Ravioli is a showcase of that finesse that they are already known for surrounding the handmade filled pastas as is an extension of what they already have been carrying on their menu. Shaped like dumplings, the Porcini Ravioli comes with pasta dough that carried sufficient bite, with the ravioli coming well-stuffed with porcini and cheese giving it a good balance of earthiness and a slightly more neutral flavour profile that gives a bit more depth of flavours to the mushroom cream sauce that accompanies the dish which carries a slightly more intense note of earthiness and creaminess here. Further supplemented by the mixed mushrooms that adds an earthy, bouncy texture. Whilst the addition of Arugula is the one that adds a hint of its inherent bitterness to cut through the cream and earthiness that comes with the dish, though it does seem to carry an extra note of basil that seems to bind all of the flavours together nicely.

No longer on burpple according to staff today 3/1/25. Should remove their deal on the app if that's the case

Both dishes were good! Pesto sauce is thick & prawns were fresh. Skin of seabass was crispy.

Duck Confit Taglatelle - Smells amazing, and looks enticing! Tastes nice, though I personally prefer a stronger seasoning flavour when it comes to duck. The more I ate it, the more I enjoyed it though😄

($28) I decided to use burpple 1 for 1 voucher for trying their pasta (mains). I finally trying their best selling pasta after a long time. But I felt that their pasta was a bit thick as hard to chew thru. Duck confit was quite tender and not that hard. But fried hazelnut reminded me of Ferrero Rocher enhance the pasta's taste.

($15) The oyster was freshly made fried on the spot when the customer order. I felt that the oyster got too much for batters, still juicy, crunchy and crispy texture for first try.
