[CLOSED] Mpire

Food are yummy! Try out their signature cocktails too. Pretty cool new restaurant.

An off menu meal intro by the friendly waitress. Tenderloin was soft to touch but medium rare came out close to medium instead. Most parts are chewy and lacks flavour. Redeeming points are the Foie Gras which hardly fails and the mash are great rendition.

2.5/5

These wings came out as drumlets, was good but felt that its very similar to old mcd. Only difference was the mayo that raised the drumlets texture

Sojourned to Mpire after a birthday dinner; thanks to burpplebeyond, the classic cocktails here were very value for money with the Singapore Sling and Mojito coming in as favourites. My shaken lime Margarita on the other hand hand too generous amount of salt circling the drink.

There’s something about conversations over drinks when you let your hair down (at least slightly).

I’m not a big fan of cream pasta but the Spaghetti Carbonara ($16) from Mpire is quite delicious! The savoury bacon and parmigiano cheese cut through the creamy sauce and go well with al dente spaghetti. Got this at a steal with Burpple Beyond’s one-for-one deal✌🏻

Interestingly, they weren’t as packed as some others although we felt they were as good, if not better than some.
We liked that their appetisers were priced reasonably and came in small portions so we could try more varied dishes. We enjoyed what we had, grilled prawn, crab croquettes and especially the grilled octopus that was on point.
We picked their spiced glazed pork belly which was spectacular and yummy good, flavourful and great meat-fats proportions that was pleasant to enjoy.
There were more appealing sounding items on their mains, pasta and risotto list for a sumptuous meal. Similarly for their appetisers that we liked. But we were glad we saved space for dessert as the red wine poached pear we had was really memorable to end with.
We would recommend to wine and dine here after having some of their cocktails and absolutely loving them. Have a little chat with Mr Star who may concoct some special mix in your drinks if you’re not going for the wine.
The interior of @mpiresingapore was chic and cosy, for a formal date or comfortable gathering. The final highlight: members of @burpplebeyond would be delighted to enjoy the incredible valuable deals here. So sharing this good find, hopefully not at the expense of being harder to get a table next time.
