With an updated brunch menu and newly renovated space, Montana Singapore is always bringing something new to the table - offering different dining experiences. Hence, with the unveiling of Anarchy, a wine bar located at the lower floor (formerly occupied by South Bronx), you can get to understand more about wine, as well as perhaps your palate and how it reflects your personality in the cosy yet intimate space they have created.

The food, of course, got my attention instead. My recommended dish would be the Braised Beef Cheek with Carrot Kimchi ($20.80) though some might find the flavours a little heavy. Served with an intriguing bed of sweet potato and potato mash, the dish was balanced with the savoury tender beef cheeks and tangy carrot kimchi. And if you can handle the heat (not me cause I teared up like a baby), the Crab Aglio Olio Linguine ($20.80) with sizable chunks of fresh crab meat will give you a surprising kick though seemingly harmless. They even have a white habanero version for those adventurous enough to opt for it. But how can you leave without trying Montana’s winning waffles, and this time with chives in the batter. A tad dry, the Peking Chicken Confit Waffles ($16.50) was a great asian take on the classic chicken and waffles. The five spiced chicken confit was nicely crisp on the outside and paired interestingly with the smoked ginger plum coleslaw but the side dip might overpower the other components so go easy on it.
