Ken & Weiwei Singapore Food Journal

Hathaway in Dempsey Hill offers a relaxing and comfortable setting to impress your date or to have a meal with your family and friends. Hathaway in old English means someone who lives by a path across a heath and the word describes the location and name of the restaurant.

It has a gorgeous white and brass interior which focuses on modern Asian cuisine with a local influence. The plating for their dishes are exquisite and visually appealing. For the appetizers, we started with the Langoustine Tartare and Seared Scallops Genmaicha Pea Puree.

The Ah Nya’s Fish Curry is a heirloom recipe that belongs to the grandmother of one of the owners. The Lamb & Bone Marrow is another main that impresses. It consists of Harissa Rack of Lamb , Glazed Bone Marrow with Herbed Crumb and Apple Celeriac Slaw with Zaatar Labneh drenched in Sup Tulang Sauce. The Nasi Ulam will complement both items well.

The Sher Wagyu Tenderloin is similar to a deconstructed “Beef Noodles” that is made up of Chargrilled Sher Wagyu Tenderloin 200g paired with Beansprouts & Pickled Mustard, Kway Teow Chip served in Bone Broth with Tendon & Tripe which you can enhance its flavor with Cincalok Chilli.

The creative concoctions of their mocktails GRAPEFRUIT (Grapefruit Juice & Tonic, Espresso, Seedlip Spice 94) and BASIL & WATERMELON (Basil & Watermelon Shrub, Apple Cider Vinegar, Seedlip Garden 108) stand out for me.

Lastly, the desserts here are a must have. The Queen’s Conserve is a combination of Kouign Amann, Lavendar Ice Cream and Passionfruit Curd and it is the highlight of the sweet treats. We would also recommend the Peranakan-inspired Seri Muka to complete your meal.

Being an Australian restaurant known for serving premium grilled meats and seafood, Osia Steak and Seafood Grill in RWS Sentosa has introduced their festive lunch menu that caters for 2 to 3 pax.

We started with the Grilled Seafood Platter consisting of Tiger Prawn Casserole, Mud Crab Cake, Smoked Salmon Trout, Celeriac Remoulade, Herb Butter and Kohlrabi Pickles. The Mud Crab Cake stands out for me as they are delightfully crispy on the outside while the filling within is flavorful and addictive.
.
Next we had the Grilled Meat Platter that is made up of an assortment of meats and vegetables which are the Spring Chicken, Anise Rub Angus Beef Rib-eye, Pork Loin, Potato Mousseline, Sautéed Field Mushroom, Roasted Parsnips and Balsamic Chicory. The meltingly tender beef with a band of pink in the middle will appeal to the meat lovers. One can have their choice of sauce from Mushroom Pepper sauce, Mustard sauce, BBQ sauce, Horseradish Sour Cream and Cranberry sauce.

We ended off with their Dessert Platter that brings out the festive mood with its colors. The Santa’s Strawberry Melba, Cocoa Nib Whipped Ganache, Wild Strawberry Sorbet, Minted Berries and the delicate Coconut Biscuit complete the visually appealing dish. Osia has also introduced a hot festive cocktail Irish Coffee, which is a rich and indulgent blend of Irish Whiskey, Espresso, Gula Melaka and Whipped Cream that one can have with the festive menu.

Go on a gastronomic journey to the East and West at SE7ENTH in Oakwood Premier AMTD Singapore. Acting Executive Chef Gary Lim has designed a refreshed ala carte menu consisting of eight new mains.

We started with their Signature Crispy Chicken Wings with Truffle Maple Drizzle.

Next was the Alaskan King Crab Seafood Platter with Truffle Risotto that consists of king crab legs, mussels and prawns baked in garlic and herbs and served with a lush bowl of truffle risotto topped with crab meat.

Yans Dining at Mandarin Gallery offers exquisite and authentic Shanghainese cuisine. We had the opportunity to savour their seasonal Hairy Crab which is part of their Hairy Crab set menu that is going for $138.00 ++ per pax for one crab and $198.00++ per pax for two crabs.

For Appetisers, we had the Pickled Cucumber Skin Roll and Shanghai Drunken Chicken. Soup was the robust Yellow Croaker Fish Soup with Snow Cabbage. This is followed by the Old Shanghai Smoked Fish and Crabmeat with Bean Curd.

The Braised Pork Belly in the Claypot was one of my favourites as one can place the juicy pork belly in the fluffy white bun and savour the combination. We also had the Pan-Fried Bun which is hot and crispy on the outside while the minced meat within is flavorful.

The Hairy Crab is prized for its succulent sweet flesh and rich, creamy roe. It is pretty complex to deshell the crab and thankfully the staff helped us with it. The hairy crab has a cooling effect on the body and is recommended to pair with wine. Finally we end the meal with the toothsome Glutinous Dumplings in Osmanthus Wine.
