For longtime fans of @harryssingapore , you’ll probably be glad to hear that Harry’s has tinkered with their menu, introducing a few incredibly healthy dishes and fine tuning a couple of menu mainstays. The healthy new dishes certainly raise a few eyebrows as they seem hopelessly out of place in a pub, but they certainly cater to the folks who want some guilt free pub grub and a cheeky pint of low carb beer.⠀

Two of these healthy new starters are the Baba Ghanoush ($12++), which won’t win any photogenic contests but will certainly win your doctor’s approval. The eggplant dip comes with nacho chips and a whole lotta veggies, ensuring that you get about a whole week’s worth of fibre in one sitting. The Amigos’ Nachos ($12++) may not sound like the healthiest dish, but it’s surprisingly light for a pub snack. The nacho chips are covered in a bit of melted cheese, and complemented by jalapeños & black olives. Kinda basic, but it gets the job done.⠀

Of course Harry’s has a few more decadent appetisers. Their famous chicken satay (six sticks, $13++) was seasoned & spiced sensationally with aromas of lemongrass & turmeric rising to tantalise your nose. The meat was tremendously tender, and it is definitely the most tender chicken satay I’ve ever had, slithering off the stick with minimal effort. Dip it into the sweet & savoury chunky peanut sauce for maximum satisfaction, and you might just order a second helping for you and you alone.⠀

The Laksa Popcorn Chicken ($11++) is a unique twist on the ubiquitous pub snack of popcorn chicken. These little chicken chunks are drizzled with some house made laksa mayo, which was creamy & packed all the familiar flavours of laksa. However, I do think Harry’s could go harder on the chili & make it a touch spicier, as the mayo’s richness dulls the heat a bit.⠀

Thanks for the invite, @burpple & @harryssingapore!
