OverEasy : Do look past the drinks menu

Following a rather good experience at OverEasy during a late night rendezvous with the ladies previously; I was ready to be impressed on my next invited session. Lured by the promise of a phenomenal burger by restaurant manager Raj, I was led nose first into a possible blindsided situation.
It was Thursday night when I dragged my boyfriend down avec moi to the river side joint. To my astonishment, the entire grounds was packed with people, spanning the outdoor high chair area all the way thru to the cosier interiors. Ties flung aside, top buttons undone and coy flirtatious smiles filled the room. After work drinking hours... how I've missed those. That aside, I was here on a mission.
Jang, the general manager present at the moment brought us a couple of drinks to start the ball rolling. Laphroaig Single Malt Whisky with a dash of coke for him (this one carries such a rich oaky flavor its almost like licking a freshly varnished wooden door, pardon my very amateur view that reflects my immaturity with regards to single malt whiskies) and a glass of pinot grigio from Veneto for me. Do note that Overeasy has a rather extensive drinks list with the likes of Lagavulin and Yamazaki being offered at reasonable prices, not to mention, their milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard.
Moving on the food, we had the Tortilla chips with a choice of two dips($16) as starter, with that, we plunged deep into the homemade guacamole and pork sausage cheesy dip. The former was delicious, a good blend of textures with a good hand of seasoning. The pork sausage cheesy dip served warm reminds me of the thick bolognaise sauce thickened with the addition of more Parmesan cheese. Strangely addictive. A strong recommendation for anyone heading there for drinks with a sudden case of munchies.
The preceding mains followed closely, The "To Die For" burger ($20) for the mister and the Big Blue Burger ($24) for me. He was instantly sold once he laid his hands on the accompanying side of handcut haystack fries with rosemary and parmesan. Extremely addictive stuff, a fact I've reiterated since my last visit.
Truth regarding the burger, it was delicious. Simple, cooked to perfection (medium rare as I requested), well seasoned and those buttered buns with loads of horseradish mayonnaise spread over, I'm a real sucker for those. Dissecting my treat, I found most entities to be delightful, especially the surprise bits of savoury blue cheese scattered throughout the patty. A very good burger in my opinion.
For an awesome burger coupled with a good selection of bar bites and an awful lot of fun, do visit OverEasy. I'm for sure, sticking a 'favourite' on this one.
Any recommendations for burgers joints in Singapore?

Hong Kong Street family restaurant: Zi Char that is easy on the wallets

Recently, a dearest friend of mine announced her short trip back to Singapore and Malacca. I was to pick her up from the airport and decide on a dinner venue suitable to satisfy the hankerings of a starving Asian (especially after her flight). After feverishly flipping through my choices mentally, I settled on Hong Kong Street Family Restaurant situated in Bedok North; just a short ride away from the airport.
A Zi Char restaurant in air-conditioned settings, this no frills joint offers a wide array of dishes not uncommon to most neighbourhood coffee shop joints. However, truth is that the menu is dotted with handful of gems, if you heed advice and order the recommended items, you'll certainly be in for a treat.
The Prawn Paste Chicken gets my strong stamp of approval. Salty, aromatic and crisp, this version is extremely addictive, so go ahead and order a bigger plate if you must. Definitely a place to get my Ha Jiong Gai fix.
Our next dish of Stir Fried Sweet potato leaves was a mandatory vegetable order that proved a little mainstream, paling in comparison to Soup Kitchen's rendition. Not flavoursome enough and cooked a little too Al-Dente, the greens failed to impress.
Next up, the signature San Lou Hor Fun, which comes with a commendable amount of delicate fish slices and delectably sauced and slightly charred noodles. Definitely one of the better ones I've tried locally.
Last of all, the Cereal Prawns. I adore this dish, choosing to succumb to it as I slowly spooned by way through the mountain of nestum flakes on the plate. The combination of sweet with the savouriness of the crispy prawns complimented with the occasional curry leaf for that aromatic touch was certainly well executed in this dish.
Hong Kong Street Family Restaurant, judging from the throngs of people filling the dining area on a typical weekend night; has won the hearts of many patrons with it's simple zi char dishes done to top notch standards. Should you have a family occasion approaching and am afraid to burn too big a hole in your pockets, this place would definitely be a good choice.
A picture thrown in for good measure. To Elicia, who is safely back in Sydney once more... Till we meet again my friend.

Nassim Hill Bakery Bistro Bar: Weekend treats
It's late into the evening. Perhaps you're scouring the net for a suitable brunch/lunch place for the weekend, maybe it's by order of the merciless girlfriend or just a plain treat u want to reward yourself with after a long weeks' worth of work. Who knows? In any case, I might have a solution to your aimless search.
Nassim Hill Bakery Bistro Bar
With a large number of establishments yielding to this concept in a bid to extend operational hours and hence profits (or so I would imagine), not many succeed in making the transition from a casual inviting bistro in the day to a swanky bar by night. One thing is for sure, Nassim Hill Bakery takes the cake when it comes to creating a cozy bistro offering brunch delights come weekend.
For starters, we had Belgian Grimbergen Beer to rake in the weekend feasting. We sampled the Blonde and Ambree options, both of which proved it's premium branding with smooth finishing and robust flavors.
that brings me to my Hot Reuben sandwich ($18) - sliced corned beef with melted emmental cheese, saurkraut,
onions and Russian dressing on their in-house signature Grimbergen Ambrée beer bread. Till now, my taste buds are excited by the mere thought of this dish. Generous in portions and extremely satisfying in terms of flavor profile; this brunch item delivers a real punch with a right combination of ingredients. What I loved best was the crazily beautiful Ambree beer bread that blew my mind. Guess the malt and hops in that beer really boosted the characteristics of it. At the end of it all (yeh, my gluttony surprises me sometimes), I emerged gratified; almost lost for words even.
I promise to be back for revisits solely for the reuben sandwich. Till we lock lips again, I propose that you guys swing by this weekend for a visit.

Baker and Cook: Asian Persuasion

When tucking into the mild discontent of what is my dry slice of toast in the morning, I wish I had Baker and Cook at my doorstep.
Here you are treated to a rainbow of baked goods. Pastries of all sizes, types and textures. Hot Cross buns, quiches, tangy lemon tarts, rustic pain au levain; you name it and they've got it.
What founder, Chef Dean Brettschneider does so beautifully in this scenario is his willingness to reconsider design and menu options in order to cater to different neighborhoods. Evidence clearly observed from his Shanghai outlets where his global baker approach has seen the sales of unique offerings such as Red Bean & Sesame Fougasse. Here in the quiet neighborhood of Hillcrest (took a walk down memory lane as we turned the corner past the back entrance of National Junior College, my alumni), Baker and Cook offers a peaceful respite for residents. Surveying the shop front whilst sipping on my coffee in the morning, the bakery, a beehive of activity, I realised how effectively it has stolen the hearts of many.
We started off the morning trying to fix our sweet urges with a Custard Bombolini ($3.30) and the Chocolate Almond Croissant ($3.50). My mother polished off the former, stopping halfway thru to comment that the bread like texture was a refreshing change to the pillowy soft versions stowed away from neighbourhood bakeries. The chocolate almond croissant was disappointing, a stodgy affair breaking into the center, the measly coating of almond creme on top, baked to a hard and chewy texture; my jaws working extra hard on the waning corners of the pastry. I turned my focus elsewhere.
The Spanish Omelette ($16.00) filled with peppers, cheese and chorizo was mediocre, if not forgettable. It's texture, not fluffy enough, lacked seasoning and more importantly, lacklustre in comparison to the delicious spread of pastries we were immersed in. We rescued the accompanying bread slices with some divine homemade raspberry jam found on the communal tables for sharing. My other choice of Moroccan Lamb Roll ($9.00 with side salad) proved a huger success, well executed with delicious puff pastry and savoury minced lamb thick with the aroma of the exotic middle east, it's appearance at the table managing to calm my irritation derived from the slow crawl of my cappuccino ($4.50) to the table.
Coffee from New Zealand’s Allpress Expresso was disappointing by the way. Bring your coffee cravings over to somewhere else should you be a puritan.
That being said and done, Baker and Cook is definitely a gem of a bakery, a position further highlighted by it's quaint location. Service standards at the counters was exemplary, however, table service leave much to be desired. No smiles, I wish I could give the poor lads a tickle or two. And please... I suppose bending down to pick up the loaf of bread that had taken a plunge from the counter top is much better an act then just stopping in your tracks to comment to the next service staff that "I think the bread drop on the floor."
"Yup, I think the bread dropped on the floor.", replied his young colleague.
Doh.

It was pouring buckets.
Our plans to head to town took a backseat once the boyfriend and I stepped out of the bakery; a cascade of side sweeping rain and ominous dark skies greeting us sinisterly.
I can't help but wonder whether its a miracle as our random second dining choice turned out to be quite a blessed discovery.
La Pizzaiola set in the sleepy linear settlement of Jalan Riang has quite a good following, as observed by yours truly, from the full-housed dining area almost every lunch and dinner service. Stepping into the comparatively warm settings of the restaurant, we knew we were in good hands.
For starters, we picked the Burratina Con Prosciutto Crudo($16.90) to share. It arrived at our table in elaborate fashion, the imported fresh cheese scooped onto two individual plates served separately from a platter of mixed leaves with gorgeously sweet tomatoes and a good portion of parma ham. Highlight of the night by all means.
Our mains of Diavola Pizza $14.90 and hand-made pumpkin ravioli Tortelli Di Zucca ($13.90) arrived swiftly at our cramped table. The former was pretty good given its reasonable price tag, well balanced tomato sauce on a crispy based pizza, generous amounts of cheese and spicy salami. Simplicity at its best. The latter however was a greasy affair. The little parcels of pumpkin and cheese mixture bathing in a pool of butter in the bowl. Despite its inclusion in the menu description, the fattiness of the sauce took away from the natural creaminess of the pumpkin filling. Disappointment sets in as I recall my last legendary ravioli experience. I need a revival of sorts...
Will be back for more pizza someday.

Keong Saik Snacks: What's with the Hype?

A growling stomach and hunger pangs after a whole day of outdoor adventure racing brought me to Keong Saik Snacks to satisfy my post race cravings. A British Bistro with modern contemporary twists, the basis of it pass hints at satiety and hearty portions. Unfortunately, at the end of the meal, I was left sorely disappointed, albeit with spirits lifted only due to the laid-back atmosphere of the place. With such huge shoes to fill given it's management by Michelin Starred Chef Jason Atherton and rising waves of expectations as we settled into the bar counter seats soaking in the estactic rush of the kitchen (reminding me so much of my mind-blowing experience at Movida in Melbourne); I was really hoping for an extraordinary meal.
The Kimichi Burger ($20) was decent in my opinion. A good thick juicy patty cooked to perfection with the kimchi (of shrimp based origins) being a good alternative to caramelised onions or pickles. Still, portions were small (yeh.. I know they are acclaimed to serve 'snack' sized items), and did nothing for my voracious carnivorous appetite especially after the race.
Jason's Very Hot Dog ($19) fared much better, chorizo based sausage with lashings of delicious guacamole, "spicy' green chili or jalapenos and crispy shallots. This was good per Se, but left a nagging feeling on both me and my partner. given its humble beginnings for an extravagant price
Desserts as urgently requested by me were the Hot Doughnuts with Cinnamon and Vanila Chantilly. French inspired, these hot pillows of fluffy sweetness arrived at our tables quickly. Like French Beignets, the doughnuts were delicious on their own rolled in a crisp coat of cinnamon sugar. What failed it was the accompaniment of Vanilla Chantilly that somehow carried a sour note to its flavor profile, the speckling of vanilla beans deceiving the diner and its texture trending more towards a broken cloud than voluminous ripples of cream.
To those seeking to get a taste of Chef Andrew Walsh's fare, hop over to Esquina instead and give the more insolent sibling, Keong Saik Snacks a miss. That being said, service standards are top notch for a pint-sized bistro; staff were well groomed with admirable flair and armed with substantial knowledge of their products. Overall, this would be a one-off experience for me. I should visit the rest of Atherton's collected accolades though...

21 on Rajah: Gather and Share

Not so recently (I know.. I'm sorry) I was invited to a food tasting session at Days Hotel in the Balestier region. Part of the Wyndham Hotel group, the largest hotel group in the world with brands like Ramada Hotels and the more humble Travelodge under its belt, they announced the development of Days Hotel in 2010. Fast forward to year 2013, and there I was entering the warm interiors of the reception area after being caught in a heavy rainstorm whilst making my way to the tasting. Just my luck... fortunately, the processions of the evening coupled with good company made up for the shivering discomforts.
21 on Rajah as it is called, pays homage to the 21 Mediterranean countries hugging the large expanse of the Mediterranean Sea (a fact that I only found out upon introduction from the General Manager). Hence diners presume that the menu will be inspired by Mediterranean favourites. So true... and better still, it was based on "family communal dining"; a concept I came to love after dining at Cocotte.
We started off the meal with 4 starters amongst us ravenous diners. The Prawn and Bacon Roll, Crostini of Smoked Eel, Grilled Chicken Satay in Balinese Spices and Poele of Duck Liver with Sweet Pears. My favourite was the prawn and bacon roll, encrusted in a lovely golden crisp batter revealing a tasty succulent prawn within; the surf and turf concept exemplified in this dish. The Chicken Satay was worth a special mention too as despite it's rather odd local tribute in a sea of Mediterranean dishes, this was flavoursome and utterly moist.
The main event was a parade of four signature dishes once again.
The Moroccan Harira with Chicken and Garbanzo Beans
Marseilles Seafood Bouillabaisse
Stewed Fillet of Danish cold Water Halibut "Lisbon"style
and finally the Jumbo Prawns with Dill and Saffron Paella
Having to comment on these dishes, I would have to say that my favourite was the Moroccan Harrira chicken dish. Tasting mildly Middle eastern with a wave of spices in tow; ginger, cumin and pepper; I was pleasantly surprised by the aroma and texture of the chicken. Served with a bed of fluffy sweet rice tossed in tomato puree and a touch of chopped herbs, this dish could have easily satisfied my voracious yet finicky appetite. A close runner up is the Seafood Bouillabaisse which tasted authentically provencal in nature. Robust in flavor with the colour of roasted pumpkins and warm sunsets, the dish proved a winner with a generous serving of well cooked scallops, prawns, mussels and fish within. Skip the Paella for better renditions and more competitive prices at some other Spanish joints. I would also give the Stewed Fillet of Halibut a miss, despite it's beautifully cooked fish; the dish was one noted and failed to leave an impression.
Dinner drew to a close with two desserts, the Pannetonne Bread and Butter Pudding with Dates and the Dark Chocolate Fondant with Raspberry Coulis. Innovative use of the Italian Christmas bread since it's porous nature and presence of dried fruits within contributes significantly to the flavor. The Crisp crust followed by sweet and hot innards within was a real turn on; strange how the dates seem to be absent though. The latter dish I feel was a bit of a failure, the molten chocolate cake, which consisting of so little ingredients is mostly judged on the use of its chocolate. In which case, it lacked resonance probably due to the use of poor quality chocolate. I'm a snob after all.
21 on Rajah in my opinion would be a bliss haven for executives looking for a vibrant yet professional space to dine. Service standards are tip top where wait staff anticipate your moves and do their best to meet your needs. Be sure to try out their well crafted tapas selections to share amongst friends and family.

Patisserie G: sweets for snobs

I admit that I may be a snob at times. Turning my nose at the lesser known chocolates brands and enjoying eye widening moments when the music as I hear it in the form of Valrhona, Amedei and Askinosie strums close to ear. Michel Cluziel is one example of this harmonic range of sweet sounds. Upon enquiring the service staff and hearing that the chef owner takes pride in using only this chocolate in her confectioneries; my interests were piqued.
Patisserie G in Milennia Walk draws customers in with their simplistic Japanese decor and très chic spread of viennoiseries and petite gateaux on display. My favourite design detail would have to be the unique individual serving trays each carrying a different fabric or impressionistic pattern.
After much deliberation, the boyfriend and I settled down to a single petite gateaux and 2 macarons to share. The Douceur Chocolate ($8.50/slice) was a safe combination of milk chocolate mousse, milk chocolate hazelnut praline crunch on hazelnut dacquoise. Despite my familiarity and slight boredom instilled by this classic combination (we serve an identical version of this at my previous workplace in Sydney); I must say that this rendition was executed perfectly albeit for the lack of crunch in the lower depths of the dacquoise layer. Otherwise, the Michel Cluziel milk chocolate added a perfect touch of bittersweet in the cloudy wisps of mousse. The quality of the ingredients itself speaking volumes.
The two macarons ($3 a pop), the Salted Caramel and Pistachio were picture perfect with sexy feet and smooth unwrinkled shells. Taste wise, these were matured for the right amount of time, soft and chewy in the centres. The pistachio was my preferred choice out of the two given the salted caramel lacked depth and smokiness. Still, a very decent effort given the large masses of disappointment I've acquired over the past few months while hunting down macarons in Singapore.
Pastry Chef Gwen Lim's desire to promote the artistry of fine ingredients in pastry is definitely inspiring, her passion transcending with immediate effect into her pastries. With such fine quality and clean execution, I'm sure (and hopeful!) that this young Patisserie will see much success in the near future.

The Bazaar: Tastes of India along East Coast Road

taking some lag time off my holidays to update my sorely neglected blog. Apologies going out to my readers who have missed out days and days of food porn clogging their browsers. Trust me, these will make your salivate.
Firstly, I would like to thank Hungry Go Where for the invite. Never would I have thought of venturing so far for Indian food...
The Bazaar is a fairly new establishment located amongst the hustle and bustle of East Coast Road. I've often feel green with envy for the east-siders of Singapore given their vast amount of food choices and excellent standards at that. Now,The Bazaar adds to the league of exotic food options in the region. Specialising in North Indian food with an experienced chef helming the kitchen, my expectations were driven up a notch. Even more so as a quick scan of the menu revealed 'not-so-budget' prices for main courses and appetisers.
As it's name suggests, The Bazaar tries to ring in the festive mood of a carnival by displaying odd, mismatched ornaments throughout the shop. Colourful fabrics with intricate patterns draped across the walls, the lamps, some carrying a bit of Moroccan influence helping to contribute to the mood.
For starters, we were presented with a medley of dishes. Tandoori Aloo, Chicken Malai Tikka and Paneer Tikka Pizza. I found the first dish unimpressionable, par-boiled potatoes marinated in masala spices and stuffed with extra paneer cheese; this could have used a little more seasoning. The Chicken Malai Tikka on the other hand was a wholesome dish, despite it's creamy white appearance, the tender chicken pieces imparted a little smokey flavor from being char-grilled; overall, addictive. The Paneer Tikka Pizza was a model example of a fusion dish gone wrong. Chicken Tikka filling on a naan base topped with Paneer cheese, it lacked flavor and dry; and in all honesty, not befitting of the term 'pizza' in any way. I believe with a bit of revision, the dish could stand alone sans the Italian terminology.
After the clearing out of the starters, our eyes feasted on a spread of vibrantly colored mains as they got ferried to our tables. Chicken Tikka, Dal Makhini, Fish Methi Malai, Mutton Rogan Josh, Butter Chicken and Palek Paneer (upon my earnest requests) all at the mercy of our raving appetites. Some of the fillers include Onion Chili Kulcha, Garlic Naan and Aloo Paratha and Chicken Briyani, which we had the honor of trying. Out of these, my favourites include the Fish Methi Malai, the Rogan Josh and the chicken briyani rice. The fish retaining good texture, the creamy sauce well seasoned with the lingering tastes of fenugreek leaves, and the soft briyani rice acting as perfect accompaniment. The Rogan Josh presented perfectly cooked lamb pieces in a well-balanced red sauce, fragrant with the addition of copious amounts of spices.
Desserts induced some sort of sugar coma in me that probably resulted in slight memory loss. Hence I've no comments regarding the Gulap Jamun Tiramisu and Kheer. Do try the Masala Tea (served unsweetened) should you have a knackering for something strong and suitably sweet to end the meal.
East-siders, once again, the envelope is pushed with more food options. Next time, if you're searching for an Indian joint at your door step; do consider giving The Bazaar a try. To my dearest westies... stick to Little India for better options.

The Lawn: Eat and Love your Greens

·
The very sinful period of guilt-laden Chinese New Year feasting has just passed us, let's talk healthy. Greens in particular since vegetables contain vitamins that act as antioxidants, which protect body cells from environmental damage that can lead to cancer and other health problems.
Pardon me if I start to sound like something out of a health education textbook. But I speak with conviction on the case.
And what better way to enjoy your greens then with the accompaniment of tantalising grilled meats? Here at the Lawn, you can be sure that the wide variety are all top notch.
My experience at The Lawn was one that got off to a bad foot. But don't you worry, the recovery was a huge turn over. Stepping into the 'cool' vicinity of the restaurant; or so we hoped, we were hit by a ton of Bricks. No, I kid you not. After navigating an uphill route from the nearest MRT station Buona Vista, the two unsuspecting victims were breaking a sweat. To our dismay, what greeted us was a pretty sight (artfully decorated room with patches of astro turf and strategically placed negative spaces) albeit a poorly ventilated area that reeked of heavy smoke possessed with the smell of barbecued meats fresh off the grill. True to the concept tying the love of Americans for barbies in their backyards and healthy salads; The Lawn presents a fairly fresh and novel concept of mix-and-match salads highlighting the essence of good grilled proteins. Given that I was an obsessive carnivore in all rights, I was easily sold on this idea.
After placing our orders at the counter, following a very well documented process on the boards over head. We retired outside to the outdoor seating area which apparently was a ton more comfortable due to the wind tunnel like structure of the atrium. *shrugs*
Price wise, you get 1 grill 5 toppings dressing with mesclun salad for $9.90. A real bargain if you ask me, an ideal further reinstated once you eye the large bowls these salads are served in.
Choices of protein range from the grilled chicken breast with maple infusion, MOJO chicken (the latest addition to the family, very heavy in Indian spices), char grilled prawns, herbed pacific dory, Balsamico fresh asparagus and eggplant (for the vegetarians!) and the more premium options of black pepper duck, Ben's beef rub and Portobello Mushrooms. With an additional 7 dressings to choose from, we were guaranteed spoilt for choice. Needless to say, the permutations and combinations were countless, so apparently dining there everyday won't be a boring affair.
My choice: Chargrilled garlic prawns + sunflower seeds + Cashew Nuts + Sweet Corn + Bell peppers + Boiled Egg + Onion + Tomato + Red Island Sauce
The Verdict: Adored the garlic prawns, these were literally fresh and bouncy. The Red Island sauce was a a fusion of Mayonnaise and Tomato sauce, a good combination of creamy and tanginess hence working well with the other ingredients. With regards to the spread of toppings, what I loved most was the addition of tomatoes that threw in the juicy factor with a sour element for good measure.
His choice: Ben's beef rub + Herbed Dory + Cashews + Walnuts + Cheddar Cheese + Black Olives + Onion + Bell Peppers + Me So Spicy sauce
The Verdict (from the boyfriend): the dory was well seasoned and cooked to perfection, flaking off nicely with the gentle prodding of the fork. The beef was also well executed, in most cases, still pink in the middle. The Me so spicy spice adding a lovely touch of heat to the refreshing mix of greens.
With so many expatriates visiting the salad bar; the owners can't help but incorporate some sauces that would appeal more to the Caucasian taste buds; these include the honeyball, citrus dressing and maple peanut. Note to self (and other people of similar taste), steer clear of these, I would highly recommend the Perky sesame ginger as well as the Me So Spicy sauces as the best compliments to the grilled meats.
The herbed chicken breasts that defied the odds with its miraculously tender and juicy innards. This shall be my order the next time round.
In view of it all, The Lawn offers a very wholesome dining affair for those seeking for a healthier option that's still off the beaten track. No boring Caesar salad or Salad Niçoise here. Instead indulge in a DEEP bowl of tasty goodness, a concoction of greens that you can truly call your own. For those intending a weekend getaway, do consider dropping by as the Lawn now opens on Sundays for lunch!
A major thanks going out to Jonathan, the happy-go-lucky owner of The Lawn for the invitation.
