This is so delicious, yet so comforting. It's definitely not your usual sausage, as the duck neck was first hollowed out before filling it with dry-aged duck breast and other ingredients, making it a savory, meaty, and funky with the aroma of foie gras.
🔸
The taste was surprisingly good, but it's from Pollen Restaurant after all. This is a beautiful restaurant serving artful European food at Gardens by the Bay, and they've just welcomed Chef Michael to helm the kitchen.
🔸
Besides this, I also had the Beef Wellington, where an Australian beef tenderloin with pink medium rare centre was encased in a buttery flaky pastry; a classic lasagne with smooth layers of pasta and satisfying ragu; and some whole cakes to complete an already outstanding meal. These comforting English classics is certainly more than enough to make up a dining in experience of their Chef’s Menu at $148++, sans the beautiful view from their restaurant.
This is an affordable way of having piping hot unagi from our own kitchens. And it's incredibly easy to cook it at home.
🔸
It's easy as it came pre-marinated with the sauces. To cook it, there's two ways I know of:
* Pan-seared it skin side down in the pan, until the skin is crisp. No need to flip over; or
* While cooking rice, put it into the rice cooker just 5 minutes before the rice is cooked. The juices would flow through the rice (this method is contributed by one of you, I forgot who! Please remind me so that I can credit you).
🔸
Besides this unagi, you would know that I order other seafood from them very regularly too. Their seafood is fresh and fuss-free! You also know I'm no cook, neither is my domestic helper, so this is really helpful for us as we dine in.
This is restaurant that is passionate about sustainable dining and celebrating local produce. I've dined there several times, and they serve locally sourced, seasonal and innovative dishes.
🔸
I'm glad that they're doing delivery this Circuit Breaker, and of course as much as we want to reduce waste, you'll expect them to use environmentally friendly disposables too.
🔸
Pictured is their Fish Set for Two ($90), comprising of:
* Steamed Tiberias Barramundi
* Corn and Coconut Chowder
* Genting Tomato Salad
* French Fries
* Choice of two donuts - Chocolate and Pineapple pictured.
🔸
In addition to the Fish Set, also pictured is an ala carte order of Duck Rilette ($20) with House Sourdough Crackers, and Cauliflower Wings ($16) in Tamarind Miso Glaze.
🔸
These are healthy and tasty dishes. Not to mention that we are also supporting local farmers, produce, and sustainable farming.
🔸
Besides Open Farm, some other Spa Esprit Group's F&B brands are also offering pick-up and delivery orders - The Butcher's Wife, Drunken Farmer and Tiong Bahru Bakery.
These are food that we are familiar with, but given the Min Jiang treatment that elevated the dishes with quality ingredients and cooking. These are what's pictured:
* Sichuan Hot and Sour Soup with Prawn Spring Roll ($12 each) - my favourite here, it's actually refreshingly acidic and spicy without being too spicy. That prawn roll was the surprise, it was filled with prawn paste fillings instead of being just a spring onion roll.
* Iberico Pork Fried Rice with XO Sauce ($36). Well-fried and flavourful on its own, but best when eaten together with the XO Sauce.
* Stir-fried Three Treasure Vegetables with Crispy Golden Mushrooms ($28). Refreshingly crunchy vegetables, with texture from the golden mushrooms lending it a crisp meatyness-texture
* Chilled Cream of Fresh Mango with Sago Pearls and Pomelo ($8 each). Another dish that was done just right - full taste of mango without being too thick, a refreshing end to the meal.
🔸
Besides from Min Jiang at Dempsey, a range of food options from Coffee Lounge, The Deli and Min Jiang (at Goodwood) are also available for online delivery. A minimum order of $50 is required, and delivery is free for orders of $95 and above.
That's a useful skill now, no need to dabao cocktails anymore.

Now i want to learn how to make this rose out of strawberries, done by the bartender at Cavemen Singapore.
This is Nude Seafood vision of the ultimate fish soup. Two premium fishes - threadfin, used in the rich thick collagen broth; and pomfret fish, served as the silky fish slices. Cooked with fried scallops and traditional Teochew accompaniments, it's very tasty, and very healthy. I don't think salt nor msg was added, it's as genuine as it tasted.
🔸
This dish is created in honour of Junchen's grandpa. His grandpa sold fish along River Valley Road as a street hawker, before moving into a wet market at the first new town in Singapore, Queenstown. From there, to a small factory in Redhill, before moving to Jurong Fishery Port, where their factory is one of the only two factories within the port area. That's right, his family’s wholesale business is Hai Sia Seafood.
🔸
This soup thus spans 3 generations of the Ang family. And for us, we get the best fish in this soup, because Junchen shared with me that he's always the first to pick the best seafood at his family’s seafood wholesale business. And you'll see that his pomfret is indeed more tender, more silky than most around.
This Chic Italian restaurant along Hong Kong Street, which has been serving up a delicious Italian cuisine, now delivers at 25% off.
🔸
The Crispy Calamari ($21) came with a light batter that remained crisp even after delivery. The calamari within was soft, and was served with sumac and sun-dried tomato aioli.
🔸
The Casarecce ($27) tasted way more delicious than it looked. Al dente pasta with a delicate aroma of black pepper, tossed with guanciale that provided the savoury flavors, perfumed by saffron.
🔸
The two pizzas were Broccolini, Pancetta, Pumpkin and Smoked Mozzarella ($28); and Stracciatella, Prosciutto, Rucola and Fig Vincotto ($32). Amò makes one of the best pizzas around. It has a light crust, made with natural leaven, semolina and extra virgin olive oil.
🔸
The Butter Roasted Spring Chicken ($35) arrived with a beautiful char on its skin, delectable with the juicy flesh within. Rosemary jus was served on the side, to be poured over when you're ready to eat. Served with sliced Roman potatoes.
🔸
I was impressed with the meal. It's said that at Amò, authentic traditions meet modern techniques. Indeed, these are classic Italian dishes, refreshed with a modern touch.
You get to immerse yourself in a different environment on different evenings, and you get to interact with the chefs to know the stories behind the food.
