The Stamford Brasserie (Swissotel The Stamford)

Once you get past the strong fermented scent, digging into the Impossible Burger at Stamford Brasserie was a pleasant surprise. Strangely does taste like real meat!

Unfortunately, it didn’t wow me enough to justify the price that impossible meats are normally tagged with.

I had visited TSB once before and quite enjoyed my meal then, so this was disappointing in comparison. We shared the TSB burger ($26++) which was highly rated but we found the “wagyu” patty dry, crumbly and cold. We actually enjoyed the brioche pepper bun more. Our other item was the roasted baby chicken ($22++), which fared better. While not flavourful, the chicken was at least moist and tender. We enjoyed the grilled brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potato - these gave flavour that the chicken was otherwise lacking. Service left much to be desired as it was difficult to get hold of the servers for simple things like water and the bill. Hoping that TSB will perform better on the next visit!

I am a Yellowcarnivore because I generally love my meat and lack an affinity with most vegetables (opps). Having said that, I have been curious to try The Impossible Burger for the longest time ever because of the amazing reviews online. I finally tried The Impossible Burger ($23) at The Stamford Brasserie and I can only say that the reviews are true: how can a plant-based patty tastes so much like a legit medium-seared beef patty😱! The patty is juicy and flavourful - a little on the salty side but not that I mind given my salty tooth. I guess the unsalted chips at the side balanced it out:P The delicious patty goes well with melted cheese, pickles, tomato and Brioche Pepper bun - didn’t expect it to be this good:)!

Pulled pork sandwiches and burgers are my kind of thing and the Stamford Brasserie does this dish so well!! Will definitely be my goto places if I’m craving pulled pork sandwiches! The sandwich is stuffed with pulled pork and is so juicy and nicely seasoned with BBQ sauce. Yum! This dish is now served
with potato chips - no longer potato wedges!

The restaurant has changed their cooking style of various dishes a bit since the last time I came here to eat. And the new style that they cook this barramundi dish in works just as well as the old style!

The bread crumbs lining the top of the fish gave a crunch texture which was a nice contrast to the soft texture of the fish. The barramundi was cooked just perfectly - meat was tender and not tough/dry! The tomatoes and salad veggie were nicely seasoned as well. Loved this dish!

Roasted chicken was just rightly cooked - chicken meat was not dry. Garlic mash potatoes was a hit! - just the right amount of buttery flavour in it! Brussel sprouts provided a good veggie fix to this dish!
