Despite the price, this could still easily be a dish that I would recommend to people who are bravely venturing into the vegetarian world. For dinner. It's a great way to dip their toe in and see that perhaps they can survive the trip.

The thing that attempts to be salmon sashimi is my favorite - considering that I loooove real salmon carcass. I also like the ones that attempt to be tuna sashimi. They're a little too brittle in texture but still good.

I mean, it's not even THE BEST chicken out there. But something about Swensen's cornflake chicken makes you feel like kicking up your heels (or flats in my case because I have enough stress in my life), rolling up your sleeves, and just surrendering yourself to this no-nonesense honest-to-God fried chicken. It doesn't even have bones in it. How no-nonesense can you get?

The chicken skin was so volumous and crunchy that I literally hurt myself trying to eat it as barbarically as I could because it was Friday and who cares? No one cares.

The meat itself was the right amount of juicy and oily appropriate for a Friday night - which is very juicy and very very oily.

You don't even need the fries.

This crabby patty was fresh and didn"t leave you as bloated after chowing down into it with fries. But I didn't like the sauce it came with so THANK GOD it was served on the side.

Also - 20 bucks is pretty steep.

Watermelon soaked in milk = GOOD
Honeydew soaked in milk = weird
Milk itself = GOOD

Words seem unnecessary after this picture. Nobody questions a moat filled with cheese.

A little pro tip though: eat the cheese fast because once they turn off the heat, it hardens pretty quickly.

This is probably the most magical Thai experience you can ever get in SG.

Thai Tantric is nestled deep in the bosom of Orchid Towers, where you have to navigate through a sleazy maze of bars overflowing with questionable ladies, question your own womanhood given how you look like a 12-yr old pubescent girl compared to them, avoid equally questionable men lining up at the bars and ATM, and also avoid touching anything because you forgot to bring hand sanitizer.

Basically everything is questionable. Except for the green chicken curry!

I can't even believe this. Best curry I've had. The sauce is a blend of creamy and milky and spicy. All i want is 2 huge mounds (sleazy reference not intended) of rice all by myself and the sauce. I don't even care about the chicken. I just want the sauce.

I seriously recommend this from the bottom of my heart. But bring someone with you.

By the way, this works better if you also get the Moo Tod Kra Theam (fried pork). Creamy curry + crispy juice pork = OH MY GOD JUST DO IT.

The Little Fuji is the equivalent of those girls who don't look like they're even trying to look nice, but they're just so effortlessly classy and gorgeous.

The croissant dough is just the right amout of crispy and chewy, and the ice cream on top is light which ties up the whole thing together.

Overall a thoroughly unpretentious and enjoyable dish.

No. I'M SORRY. There's not much meat inside and it's not even spicy.

I liked the bits of garlic though.

Price: $1.20 each

I really really reaaaalllyyy don't like writing something I didn't like, but I just like my custard bun oozing with custard. Unfortunately, this doesn't.

Price: $1.20 each

As you can see in my poorly lighted picture, there's not much char siew in the char siew bun. Same true for the custard bun. So unfortunately, this is a no for me.

Price: $10.90

This is going to sound so unsophisticated, but it's basically a slab of sashimi BUT sprinkled with some really yummy green stuff. I'm serious. I'm not able to articulate fancy food well on a Tuesday night, but this is good. Would recommend!

I have this impression that duck confit tend to be really dry. Probably some form of childhood trauma #firstworldproblems. But this duck confit is juicy enough, and the mashed potatoes and the mushrooms do add to the juiciness of it all.

That being said, this is not something that I would rave about, nor would this be a dish that I would cling on to the next time I visit Saveur, but it's still OK.
