Continental flavours mixed with Asian touches? Sounds passé, but not everyone does it as well as this charming restaurant along trendy Jalan Besar. The food here is bold, adventurous, and dead-on delicious, like the upmarket tze-char inspired restaurant you’ve always wanted. Plus, they’ve got a sexy bar called the Laundry Room, accessible from a back alley, for some cheeky pre-dinner drinks and speakeasy vibes before tucking into platefuls of creative nosh.

Think small plates like deep fried Brussels Sprouts served with charred miso and sour cream, or Blood Cockles sauteed Vietnam style and served with chili jam, pork crackling, and caramelized fish sauce. We told you. Mains progress to much funkier territory with numbers like the Belly Mussels, a plateful of crisp roast pork belly served with mussels tossed in a sweet and sour chili sauce, and Snails & Marrow, a marriage of two French comfort foods, escargots and beef bone marrow, paired with sweet shallots and garlic rice. Do not miss the chargrilled Beef Short Ribs, falling off the bone and alive with a dressing of coriander, lime, pickles, and piquant Yemeni skhug (a fiery chili sauce).

Casual, chic, and progressive, this funky restaurant is part of the big Jalan Besar makeover, and long may it live. (Feb 2018)
