The Green Oven (Alley on 25)

): it was.. disappointing with really sparse ingredients. As pictured, very little ham, shrooms, artichokes. Taste-wise, not too bad (how to go wrong?!) But really nothing close to the generous spread of ingredients in Italy!

Loved the dishes we ordered - the lobster mac and cheese was 👍🏼 Missing out the ice kacang cocktail in the photo that I got, which adds a Singaporean flavor to things 🍧 Hope I get the chance to try their buffet soon~ To add, nice ambience for a celebration, a first (official) date, or a quiet night just appreciating the flickering candlelight and the night view of the city 🌃

Saw Fiona's review and knew what to order instantly! In theory, it's considerably easy to make (especially since this is crustless): braise oxtails till fork tender, pull and then top with mashed potatoes. But to make it exceptionally good? You know they went the extra mile. The red wine braised ragout was flavour-packed, while the velvety garlic mashed potato was neither dry nor too greasy. Super comforting!

Pro tip: Swing by during lunch and opt for the lunch set (this is one of the options for main). For the same price ($25), you get a main + an appetiser + a scoop of ice cream.

Unassuming but satisfying mix of fennel, radish, shallots, cherry tomato and cucumber. The well-emulsified lemon vinaigrette deserves a shout-out!

One of the five featured Alley on 25 dining concepts at the Andaz Singapore Hotel by Hyatt, The Green Oven serves hearty dishes, all cooked using their giant, statement green Beech oven (hence the name). The food here is great for sharing — think Braised Lamb Shank ($35) and Mac & Cheese ($35) with lobster and morel mushrooms — so file this aside for the next family lunch, or upcoming festive group gatherings. The gorgeous views of the city skyline add a touch of opulence. Topped with buttery garlic mash and sporting a golden brown hue from its time in the oven, the Oxtail Pie ($25) is super comforting. Burpple Tastemaker Fiona Ting appreciated that the dish was served piping hot — great if you like to take your time savouring your meal. The dinner-only Sustainable Seafood Stew ($68) may be pricey, but it is the one dish Fiona declares she'd gladly return for. The stew is filled together with seafood of all sorts, including jumbo lump crab, Boston lobster, black mussels, seabass, scallops and squid. The tomato bouillabaisse seafood broth is absolutely rich in flavour, and great for soaking up with the sourdough they serve with the dish. Pro tip: Their $25 set lunch, which gets you a main, an appetiser and a scoop of ice cream, is great value. The dinner menu, however, is more extensive.
Avg Price: $40 per person

Enhanced with the flavors of rosemary and fennel, it’s one of those dishes that elicits a sigh of satisfaction from the first bite.

Costing $35, it was served with a side of tzatziki, the yoghurt based sauce being unexpectedly baller. It balanced the gamey flavor of the lamb very nicely while the Jersusalem artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes added body and depth.
