At last year’s Eatup (okay fine, it was last month, sue me) at The Hideout at District 20, we got to sample their extensive menu, which encompasses both Japanese and western cuisines. It’s also a beer bar with more than 50 different bottled beers to choose from, and 3 on tap.

Unfortunately, they don’t serve wine or hard liquor due to some dumb government regulation about their location and zoning, but at least they’ve got more than enough beer to keep you covered.

The star dish of the night is most definitely the foie gras ($18++). It was a touch overcooked, but it was still buttery and melt in your mouth with a beautifully seared crust. The tart mango salsa which was jazzed up by the addition of raspberry vinaigrette was the perfect foil to the rich liver, and the mushroom ragout added a savory and earthy quality to the richness of the foie gras.

Thanks for hosting us @thehideout.sg and thanks for the invite @burpple!
