This was part of my Dinner Set at $29.90! Very generous serving I must say. Slightly crispy on the outside and so moist on the inside! Paired well with the slice of toasted bread, wished I had two slices of it! The lentils were a unique touch I must say. Never thought they could be paired so finely!
By incorporating whiskeys and wines into a number of their items and dishes, Anarchy Wine + Brew Bar’s revamped menu was perhaps catered to a more mature palate.
Hence, hits and misses for me, my favourite was the Truffle Ribeye Bowl with Foie Gras [$22]. A healthy bowl that came with a base of mixed rice or gluten-free quinoa, sous vide egg, bruleed foie gras and hearty Australian ribeye finished off with an earthy truffle glaze.
This was a hosted tasting by @thewineanarchy, thanks @Burpple for the invite!
Potluck house party? First thought that popped into my head: Order a few dozen artisanal "soon kueh" and "koo chye kueh" from here. Yup, I was confident they'd be a hit with everyone.
When I went to collect my order, the owner Nick told me he had included a couple of their beetroot and yet-to-be-launched smoked pork belly variants (the latter is part of their upcoming Smoked Series) for me to sample as well.
As with all their creations, these beauties were made by hand and boasted the thinnest, softest skins. Flavours were delicate yet distinct. So the beetroot came across as rainy-day-fresh rather than boldly earthy, while the addition of smoked pork belly to the shredded turnip spiked the new "kueh" with a roasted meat aroma.
For the reasons mentioned above, I actually prefer having their "kuehs" just as they are. When chilli or sweet black sauce is added, I feel it detracts from being able to fully appreciate the exquisiteness of their "kuehs".
By the way, they are moving because the whole Berseh Food Centre is closing at the end of November for renovation. Nick said that they are waiting for confirmation of the new space they've found which is located in the same Jalan Besar hood.

One of the interesting creations at #HolyCrabsg! The inspiration for this unique creation comes from the pairing of hairy crabs with vinegar. The sauce — a sour, sweet and savoury concoction of balsamic vinegar, red chilli and curry leaves — goes well with the fresh, sweet crab meat.

A wonderful match for their fantastic fishballs and "her keow" (fish paste dumplings stuffed with minced pork) are the noodles. The al dente ribbons of meepok are evenly coated in pork lard oil and sambal chilli, and have crispy pieces of the lard thrown in for shudderingly good moments of fats-tasy. My idea of heaven 🤤
The only place to go, for a quiet dinner, and superb food. Take this grilled Ebi mentai ($25). Chunky tiger prawns and mushroom, grilled to perfection on a scallop shell. The mentai sauce, well-flavoured without being too jelly, and honestly being singaporean, anything mentai is always a sure win. Not to mention, Bernard is generous when it come with portions.
When it comes to steak, I tend to go into caveman mode. Keep it simple with a sprinkle of sea salt and I'm sold. However, this style of preparation I had at one-month-old Thirteen Duxton Hill which involves, anchovy, broccoli and whole toasted hazelnuts, was strikingly delicious.
I enjoyed the counterpoise the "green-ness" of the vegetable (sparked with lemon juice) played to the richness of the flank steak and smooth, savoury sauce. Loved the textural excitement and aroma the hazelnuts brought to the dish as well - that rounded things off beautifully in my opinion.
Thirteen Duxton Hill is about a month old and the lovely couple behind it are Chef JP and Sally who were the co-owners and founders of Lume in Melbourne. They are super down-to-earth, friendly and easy to chat with. As his title suggests, Chef JP does the cooking (and hopefully, baking in the future) with the help of his sous chef Roland while his partner, Sally, who's a sommelier, doubles up as the general manager. The casually elegant restaurant is situated at the top of Duxton Road, occupying the last unit along the row of shophouses.
Their menus are handwritten not just for the sake of being charming (which it is) but because what they serve that day is dependent on what Chef finds at the market in the morning. How exciting is that. Definitely the kind of place I'll want to return again and again.
The Crispy Aromatic Duck is fragrant and the waiter will tear it into shreds before wrapping it together with scallion, cucumber and sweet bean sauce within a pancake.

Really a hidden gem, lucky I know roads. Really nice the steak, juicy beef fantastic sauce and well served. Thanks guys for the nice experience and excepting the new menu.
Soft fluffy French Toast, sweet jam, cream and salty bacon!!! How not to have bacon with everything?! The perfect complement to every meal. 🐷
Located beside the CHIJ Katong in marine parade. The chilli is something I don't mind eating everyday!
It's nothing fancy (in terms of cooking a lobster), but sometimes simplicity is all that a luxurious ingredient needs. Served with fries (I wish they double or even triple-fried these so they'd be crisper on the outside), salad, and herb butter, the succulent lobster meat laced with a fragrant smokiness deserves every bit of its $48 price tag.
