that was how i came to have this plate of squid ink risotto which you will not see on the normal menu handed to customers. for those who have visited @thebetterfield before, you might know that chef shaun's risotto dishes do not disappoint and are always very well executed: think perfectly textured arborio rice forming the creamy risotto, now coated with squid ink imported from france. hidden underneath that beautiful black mess are generous servings of tiger prawns, deshelled for your convenience. when i spoke to chef shaun the last time, he was sharing about how he wanted @thebetterfield to be the place where students could paktor and that explains his low pricing despite the high quality of his food. people say that most school couples start dating or getting together start during the beginning of the school term, especially immediately after orientation. so for students looking for a place to paktor, especially smu lovebirds, @thebetterfield is located right next to the coffee shop that sells the famous waterloo chicken rice.
p.s. If you're worried about your date looking at your squid ink stained teeth and/or tongue, fret not as it washes off easily with a mouthful of water.
