Mr Chow's Aviary

[FUZZIE 20% OFF DISCOUNT]
Was searching for a vibey bar for a TGIF dinner and found this on the Fuzzie app. Located just a 5min walk from Maxwell MRT in the Duxton Hill enclave, this formerly-known-as-Ju Hua Tai Chinese restrobar serves up innovative floral-infused cocktails with a Chinese twist, and the same can also be said for their Chinese-centric bites and mains.

As we had come from a light dinner, we just shared two bites and a drink between both of us: the Tomato Burrata Champagne Kueh Pie Tie ($16 for 3pcs), the Mala Popcorn Chicken ($15), and the Chrysanthemum Secret ($22).

The KPT was filled with a base of burrata cheese, layered with a cherry tomato and champagne jelly. While interesting, we weren't too keen on this pairing and also thought that the KPT shell had a very distinct cardboardy smell. On the other hand, we very much enjoyed the Mala Popcorn Chicken which was numbing with a spicy kick which was just right. Though, it would have been much better if the chicken was even crispier. Finally, the signature Chrysanthemum Secret definitely deserved its title - the chrysanthemum-infused gin, mixed with lychee, raspberry, and elderflower liqueur was sweet and refreshing, albeit on the lighter boozy side, and the intricate chrysanthemum flower-shaped jelly was just a delight. Presentation was so on point too!

Overall, had a satisfying post-dinner bites & drink here, and with the Fuzzie 20% discount, everything came up to only $47.70. Only complaint would be that the music was too overbearing.
