On 2 Aug and 3 Aug, four chefs will come together to present "Home Truly", - collection of dishes inspired by their childhood eats, as a tribute to our nation's birthday. It's only on these two days you'll get to taste local-inspired dishes jointly created by @dingdongsg Head Chef @millermai_ with Masterchef Singapore's former finalists - @aaronwong.sg, @zanderng and @gen_lxn.

Pictured is the second main course by Chef Zander Ng, Masterchef Singapore winner. Chef Zander created his own rempah and mackerel paste, but lightened it to create a soft steam custard. And what I also like we're the large chunks of barramundi and Hokkaido scallops within the otah, which provided contrast in texture. It was then topped with a calamansi gel, ikura, Thai basil, coconut cream and torched in a banana leaf parcel. It has every taste of the otah that we are familiar with, yet nothing like what we've ever tasted before.

I'll be showcasing the dishes by the other two Masterchef finalists as well. But meanwhile you may start making your reservations.

The alabaster-white scallop skin, providing cosy asylum to some delectable oceanic guests beneath its folds, soaked lazily in the deliriously fragrant sauce, which by virtue of its fish sauce-forward personality possessed the aggressive allure of an Orchard Towers Thai pr..(that's quite enough - Chastity Editor).

This dish is one of the six exclusive dishes showcased during the "Backstreet Bengs" six-hands event taking place on 17 and 31 October 2018. A collaboration with fellow Amoy Street restaurants Le Binchotan (@lebinchotan) and Birds of a Feather (@birdsofafeathersg), the six-course event allows guests to experience two dishes at each of the three concepts throughout the evening, with one dish being an event-exclusive special.
The sauce was fragrant and the ribs was flavourful and tender. This is a dish that I foresee coming back for.

I'll come back for this dish, and I found this yam ring to be better than at many tze char places. It has an airy and crisp crust, holding together very smooth yam topped with a poached egg. Even the asparagus were good, as they had a heavenly wok hei scent to them.

The combination was as delicious as it sounded - I really loved the tart and the coconut but not so much the meringue #burpple
Besides the awesome Buah Keluak Beef Shortrib, this is the second dish you can consider.

Slow cooked in spicy stew for half day, this lamb shank is so soft that you can use a fork, or spoon, to effortlessly separate each strand of meat from its bone. The mildly spicy tomato stew is best suited to go with a bowl of rice, mixed with a little of the lamb, and it's your comfort food that first took the form of contemporary Asian cuisine.
