Whisk & Paddle is probably a name that should be fairly familiar to those whom have been following around the happenings of the local F&B scene for years — these folks are located in fairly interesting places such as that of Bukit Gombak Park and Tebing Lane. With that being said, these folks seemed to have recently opened a third outlet — this time round at Piccadilly Circus in the Jalan Kayu area. The address might be unfamiliar to some, but they are located around the Jalan Kayu Guardhouse — some might also refer to the guardhouse as the former RAF Seletar Camp Gate. This would be Whisk & Paddle’s smallest location, though it features both an indoor and outdoor dining area with some part of the outdoor dining area completely exposed to the elements. Known best as a cafe that serves up brunch offerings and western fare with a slight Asian touch for some dishes — the food menu for their Piccadilly Circus outlet is split into sections dedicated to Starters, Kids Menu, Breakfast, Bar Bites, 10 Inches Pizza, Mains, Pasta and Desserts.

The Seafood Risotto is an item that is listed under the Pasta section of the menu; the online POS system described the dish to come with elements such as squid, mussels, Rosé sauce and their very own risotto grain mix. Digging into the Seafood Risotto, we did find that the risotto comes with enough moisture with the grains coming from the Rosé sauce — the mix of grains does provide some texture for some bite and chew, while there is the use of cheese that gives an added hint of savouriness to the Rosé sauce. The typical Rosé sauce sees the use of a tomato-based sauce that is mixed with cream or cheese to achieve a richer, tangy note than the usual tomato-based sauce — this also provides a bit more depth of flavours for the dish as well. There are also a some bits of red onions that can be found within the risotto that adds a bit of element of crunch to provide for a variance of textures. Thought that the squid used for the dish was rather decent, though the mussels did feel that it could come a little fresher for a better experience overall.
