Chic restaurant, bar, and coffee joint ’63Celsius’ opens at Paragon!

It’s always a delight to discover new eateries that serve quality food and pay attention to customer comfort. That’s exactly what 63Celsius encompasses. You might be familiar with 63Celsius’ first outlet at Asia Square, catering largely to the office crowd. Some notable mentions on their menu include the fresh and savoury Prawn & Oyster Pasta, and their refreshing concoction of the popular Chicken Rice. The new outlet at Paragon incorporates the same versatility, but with a whole new level of class.

63Celsius definitely has the elegance to fit right in at a sophisticated location like Paragon. With dim lighting and an intimate dining atmosphere, this is a sweet spot for date nights. 63Celsius stands out with its unique architecture and rustic yet modern design. Golden brown and bronze hues give warmth to the restaurant, making you feel comfortable and right at home. It’s also a great place to chill with a group of friends or coworkers over their diverse and nouveau range of wines and cocktails! 

63P-Eggs-Benedict_preview

To start, we had a 63Benedict—63Celsius’ very own spin on the classic Eggs Benedict! Two eggs poached sous-vide, served with smoked ham and sourdough bread. The dish is also embellished with fresh tomatillo flakes and drizzled with Aioli sauce. We loved how the egg was so silky, runny, and ultra soft – with a yolk that comes oozing at the slightest touch, it’s absolutely tempting. Enjoyable as a starter, this egg, crispy bread, and tangy Aioli sauce combo kept us anticipating for the other dishes to come.

63P-Crab-&-Cheese-Omelette

The artistic-looking Crab and Cheese Omelette came next. Infused with Parmesan cheese and shredded crab claw meat, every bite of this creamy cheesy wonder is surprisingly delightful. We especially loved the fluffiness of the omelette, and the chewy chorizo chunks also made for an enticing contrast to the soft cheese omelette. While some places overdo it with the cheese, 63Celsius gets it just right from the get-go.

Crab meat

A dish that truly stood out was the Crab Meat Pasta. Tantalisingly light and stringy spaghetti was smothered in extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and chili, which gave the dish a very piquant taste. For those who can’t handle spicy food, there is a mild option available. We found the mild alternative to be the perfect level of heat with a pleasant burst of flavour that lingers.

For those who love a little indulgence, the artisanal Our famous Lobster Pasta is a signature dish that’s perfect for two. The fresh San Marzano tomato sauce and garlic provided richness and zest to the supple spaghetti. Not forgetting the Half Lobster, which had a nice briny tang!

63P-Ribeye-Steak-&-Frites

Who doesn’t love a good ol’ steak? At 63Celsius, the Argentinian Ribeye Steak and Frites is a must try. Fair warning though–a bite out of the succulent beef slices and the crispy shoestring fries will get you HOOKED. For that extra oomph, spread the peppercorn butter and let it melt onto the steak slices before you savour a bite. Pro tip: use the promo code CE10CP and book through the Chope app or website to dine in the month of October and enjoy 2 Argentinian Ribeye Steak and Frites and a bottle of Beaujolais Fleurie at $88++ (U.P. $140++)!

Cortado.jpg

This one’s for all the coffee connoisseurs out there– 63Celsius also specialises in quality brews to give you that daily cuppa joe at their coffee joint, 63Espresso! A strong contender on the menu to watch is the Cortado, which means ‘to cut’ in Spanish. It’s a concoction of espresso with equal parts of milk that produces a strong yet sweet tasting cup of coffee that will keep you coming back for more!

There’s always room for dessert: indulge in a decadent Chalk Farm Hazelnut Chocolate Brownie with a scoop of handmade vanilla ice cream for an unassuming chocolatey treat that definitely won’t disappoint! The rich and moist brownie fudge, coupled with the smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream is purely paradise.

Treat yourself to a 63Coffee and Chalk Farm Cake set at just $7++!

63Celsius definitely ticks all the right boxes in our books for it’s classy ambience, enticing menu, and spectacular service. The next time you’re in town, be sure to make a pitstop at 63Celsius.

Free-Flow Brunch at Only $58++? Get Yours at Salted & Hung!

Mention the word ‘brunch’ and it’s likely you’re already thinking about the aroma of coffee, fulfilling breakfast platters, and the ambience of a cafe on a Sunday afternoon. But we’ll let you in on a little secret: what if brunch can be so much more than that?

Taking the usual brunch experience up a notch is Salted & Hung‘s Weekend Brunch Hangout, where diners get to tuck into free-flow (yes, we said FREE-FLOW) brunch items on Saturdays and Sundays. With a menu that boasts over 12 showstopping dishes, as well as a charcuterie and antipasti bar, this has to be one of the best kept secrets in town! Let us give you the rundown of some of our favourite dishes on the menu (click here for the full menu).

image1.gif

SH Portobello & Egg On Toast

Simple in name but not in flavour, Salted & Hung’s Portobello & Egg on Toast is something of a revelation. The robust sourdough bread carries a deep and slightly tangy taste which perfectly complements the meaty portobello and caramelised onions that it comes topped with. That torched cheese? YUM.

image3.gif

[NSFW] EGG PORN WARNING: Cut through the gleaming egg and let the golden yolk add another dimension of flavour to this already tasty snack!

SH Smoked Halibut & Caviar Crostini (1)

image4.gif

Another firm Chope team favourite is their Smoked Halibut and Caviar Crostini. The crostini bears the signature char from the Salted & Hung team’s skillful grilling. With each bite, the moreish mix of smoked halibut and savoury caviar create nuances of textures and flavours.

Freemantle Octopus, Lentils, Caponata

Wagyu Ragu, Homemade Pasta, Beef Fat Crumbs

Small plates aside, don’t forget to give some of their meatier options a try. With tantalising items such as Fremantle Octopus chargrilled to perfection, juicy Chicken Thigh, and satisfying Wagyu Ragu, resistance is futile.

image2.gif

SH Steak, Eggs & Tomatoes

While Salted & Hung likes to keep things simple, the flavours of the dishes that fly out the kitchen are never compromised. A fine example comes in the form of their Steak, Eggs, & Tomatoes: a delicate slab of Angus beef short rib is sous vide at a low temperature for 48 hours, and then lightly smoked with applewood and mesquite before hitting the grill. With so much care put into preparing the short rib, it doesn’t come as a surprise that each bite packs a complex punch. Served on the side are dainty, charred, pickled green tomatoes which were a welcoming cleanser in between mouthfuls of steak.

Processed with VSCO with a6 preset

With irresistible selections such as the Peanut Butter Cornetto and French Toast Doughnuts, we won’t hold it against you if you decide to go nuts on the desserts front. Their Hibiscus, Berries & Px took us by surprise with its fresh, tart, yet sweet combination.

For an afternoon of free-flow delights to knock your socks off, the whole shebang costs only $58++ per person. Plus, top up an additional $30++ for unlimited beer, prosecco, and house pour wines for two hours! The best part? Each Sunday from now until 3rd September 2017, score a brunch seat at only $50++ per person when you book a table through either the Chope app or website with the promo code 50SALTED!

Find it at 12 Purvis St, Singapore 188591

Killer Sunsets & Delightful Libations @ Aqua Luna

Infinity-Pool- Aqua Luna

If you’ve read the previous feature on The Carvery, you’d know just how obsessed we are with the amazing views this boutique hotel offers. Aqua Luna is a gorgeous bar that’s perched right on the edge of the 7th floor of Park Hotel Alexandra, and is essentially encased in a glass dome of sorts. Think full-length windows that give you spectacular panoramic views of the Southern Ridges in all their glory.

Their infinity pool has a swim up bar, so you can order yourself a couple of tipples and watch the setting sun streak the sky with the pink blush of a Singapore Sling;  it’s a welcome respite from concrete pavements and towering skyscrapers of downtown Singapore (actually only mere 15 minutes away).

The in-house bar team whipped up three delish cocktails for our drinking pleasure, and first up was their Sour Plum Mojito!

giphy5

Fresh mint leaves and sour plum powder are first crushed together for a real kick of sour-plummy goodness.

giphy4

Now for the stuff that makes a mojito great – rum! And topped off with ginger ale instead of the standard lime juice for a zesty kick.

giphy3

The drink is then garnished with more sour plums, a fresh sprig of mint, and a lime wedge, and there we have it: a perfect, refreshing mojito. Perfect for Singapore’s summer heat, and waaaaay better than all the sour plum shots we used to down at Zouk in our youth (minus the nasty hangover!)

Drinks

Here are two others that you absolutely CANNOT miss: the Hot Melons cocktail and Alexandra Sunset. The Hot Melons is made with sugar, spice and everything nice – the sweetness of fresh watermelon goes perfectly well with chili padi, Myers’ dark rum, and citrusy soursop sorbet… I know it sounds strange, but just try it – it’s a drink guaranteed to get the party started!

The Alexandra Sunset is my personal favourite. -The splash of flamed rosemary-infused Grand-Marnier is zesty and slightly smoky, and goes perfectly with fresh lime, lemon, and pineapple juices and cherry liqueur. The addition of both white and dark rum gives this tropical drink a pleasant, vanilla-caramel undertone. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy by twilight!

Bar Food

Is a bar experience truly complete without tasty bar grub? Aqua Luna has a different take on the standard truffle fries – they serve Truffle Polenta Fries instead! These parmesan-coated goodies are served alongside house-made truffle mayonnaise (made with real truffles, no less!) for an earthy, yet intensely satisfying flavour.

The Chorizo and Onion Flatbread pizza is crisp yet chewy and comes straight out of their wood-fired Beech oven. Their Mini Beef Burgers are also the perfect thing to munch on if you’re craving something more substantial – they’re served juicy and perfectly medium-rare on a toasted sesame bun. YUM.

Here’s some great news – Aqua Luna offers a Toasts To Indulgence party package for groups of 10 or more: unlimited house pours for 2.5 hours accompanied by a delicious medley of gourmet bar bites such as Tiger Prawns & Pesto Pizza, Smoked Wedges and Chicken Wings for $40++ per guest! So grab a couple of friends (or colleagues after a long work day) and indulge in great food, good booze, and a killer view.

SIN-ful-LEE Indulgent Meals @ Sin Lee Foods!

SLF-Exterior-Blinds

‘WE DO NOT SERVE AND WILL NOT SERVE LAME EGGS BENEDICTS WHATSOEVER, SO TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH AND HAVE A GO AT OUR FOOD & BEVERAGES,’ proclaims the menu of Sin Lee Foods. It’s cheeky and unabashed—an attitude that translates into some downright delicious cooking. We can attest that the aforementioned leap of faith will definitely pay off should you take it.  

Sin Lee Foods is hardly an unfamiliar name to any seasoned café-hopper. When they first opened their shutters, the Bukit Ho Swee hangout made a name for itself by modernizing an old-school spot – they even preserved the original signboard! Boasting a retro logo, bold cuisine, and an Instagram-worthy space, they became instantly recognizable.

SLF Beef Bulgogi, Mantou & Cinema Cheese (2)

Recently, in the spirit of reinvention, they’ve launched a new menu and we just can’t get enough of it. One standout is the Beef Bulgogi, Mantou & Cinema Cheese ($23), which features tender chunks of meat, crunchy crackers, pillowy mantou—and the best part: flowy cinema-style cheese oozing over the bulgogi that’ll bring back youthful memories of sneaking steaming bites of nachos in the movie theater! And boy, has our childhood indulgence grown up.

Sin-Lee-Beef-&-Grains-(1)

Think Duck and Duck ($26) sounds simple? Think again. It’s smoked and roasted Japanese duck, paired with melt-in-your-mouth foie gras caramelized in a pan, served with accoutrements like steamed rice, housemade sesame sauce, and a runny fried egg. Deceptively simple, but ultimately delicious indeed!

Other notable dishes like Beef & Grains ($25) are equally luxurious: you’ll enjoy a solid 180 grams of deliciously marbled striploin served over wet orzo ‘rice’, a runny egg, ginger, and furikake & scallions for that extra umami touch. It’s undoubtedly creative fusion dishes like this that have kept us hooked and coming back for more.

Sin-Lee-Salted-Egg-Burger-(2)

Their weekday special menu is also a can’t-miss. Fast food chains got nothin’ on their burgers—Sin Lee hopped right onto the salted egg yolk bandwagon with this stunner of a dish. Whole chicken thigh, fried to crisp perfection, is slathered with creamy, umami salted egg sauce and served on a bun. The second burger offering will make you salivate too: tender catfish fillet, breaded and fried, then topped with mentaiko cream sauce and ebiko roe that positively pops in your mouth. It’s an ambitious blend of Southern cuisine and Japanese-influenced cooking, dished up in a single explosive fusion.

Calrose Rice Bowls are yet another addition to tantalise your tastebuds. With an inventive range of toppings from Salmon & Tuna Wasabi Poke to Korean Rubbed Chicken Thigh, these new bowls are a steal for under $15 each.

Sin-Lee-Aburi-Broccoli-Salad-(2)

But don’t fret, their crowd favourites are still around. Since its inception, Sin Lee’s Aburi Broccoli Salad ($13) has occupied a place in our hearts, and thankfully we can still indulge. Smoky torched broccoli florets drizzled with white balsamic, papadum, and red sugar may sound funky, but it’s a truly genius combination. Who said vegetables couldn’t be addictive?

Sin-Lee-Chicken-&-Waffles-(2)

And don’t forget the Fried Chicken & Waffles ($21.90) that catapulted them to foodie fame: marinated in har jiong and drizzled with melted maple butter and sesame gomae slaw, this fried chicken comes tenderly nestled upon crisp waffles straight from the iron cast.

Pair it with a Swedish craft cider ($15) or an adventurous Banana Horlicks Smoothie ($9), and you got yourself some good ol’ comfort vibes. See you there!

(Celebrate your birthday here by ordering this sharing dish, and I’ll make it an extra special day by throwing in a whole Live Lobster to sweeten the deal!)

With my varied menu options you can choose your own adventure. Pick from a selection of fine, fresh seafood cooked to order, then spice it up with sauces galore: The Works, Garlic Butter, and Peppa’ Butter sauce, customised to your taste. I like to keep things interesting with sauce of the month flavours, like Sambal, Hei Bee Hiam, Tamarind, and Tom Yum, for an explosive combination of exotic flair and local comforts.

The Boiler Boiler_140717-029

I also cater to the classics with dishes like crisp Fish and Chips ($12.90) with tangy tartar sauce and the barest squeeze of lemon. And let’s not forget the star of the show: live whole Boston lobsters for just $55! To round it all off, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with a multitude of desserts like Mao Shan Wang Durian Jar cake or Molten Lava Chocolate cake.

And what would a date be without some liberal libations? Find your new favourite tipple in the Beerjito, my refreshing signature cocktail, or an extensive range of craft beers. Looking for something a little more indulgent? Well, you’re in luck. Class it up with a bottle of wine or some fine whisky pairings, from my sister company The Fortress located just next door. Plus, corkage is waived for purchases from The Fortress.

TheBoilerSG_Interior5 (1)
TheFortress_Interior_9 TheFortress_Interior_1

Wine aficionados will swoon at the impressive array of bottles displayed on sleek industrial-style furnishings, for a stripped-back yet sophisticated vibe. Decked out with wooden tables and comfy matching chairs, it’s the perfect ambience for a cosy nightcap. An expansive space, plush leather couches, and candles before you on the coffee table—what more could you ask for?

Picture this: seafood bags brimming with saucy, intensely-flavoured crustaceans, followed by a refreshing tipple in hand, and some quality company. Now that’s an offer you can’t resist.

Wild Honey – Wonderful Anytime, Even Better During the Holidays!

DC2016 Main Logo_main logo

WH3_green_chair

A visit to Wild Honey is like a holiday retreat in itself: its homely rustic furnishings and large plush sofas (perfect for sinking right into) add to the cosy and comforting ambience of this ever-so-popular brunch spot. Serving up huge portions of different types of breakfast foods from all over the world, from savoury to sweet and everything in between, it’s really no wonder that it’s been voted Chope’s Best Restaurant 2016 and clinched the “Best Brunch Spot” for two consecutive years (2014 & 2015) in Chope’s Diners’ Choice Awards. It’s the perfect place for a lazy Sunday family brunch, a romantic first date, a celebratory meal, or high tea with someone special.

Sunday Roast002

The brunch experience is made even better this Easter weekend with something extra special: tender and juicy roasted Australian sirloin carved to perfection, served alongside Yorkshire pudding, roasted root vegetables, green peas & red wine gravy ($35++)!* They also have the perfect glass of wine to pair it with: St. Hallett Cabernet Sauvignon from Down Under ($9++ per glass), specially curated by the geniuses at Culine, no less. (Note: this special Easter roast is accessible by reservation only via Chope, so be sure to indicate it on the ‘select menu’ drop-down box when you book a table!)

Already have plans this Easter weekend? Fret not, Wild Honey’s doing us a massive favour by giving this stellar dish a permanent spot on their menu at Scotts Square every Sunday – carnivores rejoice! Places are limited as well, so be sure to make a Chope reservation to get your fix!

Savoy Omelette001

If you’re restricting yourself to fish this Easter, give the Savoy ($28++) a whirl – this delectable new dish combines the elegance of a souffléd omelette alongside softly poached smoked haddock & creamy cheese sauce with a hint of cayenne for a mild kick.

It’s made even better with a glass of fresh, fragrant Torres Viña Esmeralda DO Catalunya from Spain ($9++). I’m salivating just thinking about it!

norwegian_002 ilovenewyork

Alternatively, you could tuck into one of the classics that propelled them to cult-like status in the first place: the Norwegian. This bad boy is all sorts of delicious – it consists of creamy poached eggs wrapped in Norwegian smoked salmon, topped with Hollandaise sauce and a sprinkling of salmon roe. All this is placed atop avocado and grilled asparagus spears and served up on a crisp whole wheat brioche.

If you’re more of a scrambled eggs & bagel person, their I Love NY is bound to be one of your new favourites! Dig into a generous portion of fluffy, creamy scrambled eggs with smoked sturgeon, smoked salmon, and caramelized onions that you can stuff into a delicious hand rolled sesame bagel. YUM.

DSC_1953

Fancy a tea break? Pop by their Scott’s Square outlet any day from 3-6pm (or Fridays at their Mandarin Gallery spot) for their new special Afternoon Tea set ($15++) and treat yourself to an assortment of freshly baked, buttery scones served alongside homemade preserves, French butter and clotted cream, or dig into one of their delectable cakes of the day; perfect paired with your choice of TWG select teas, a mug of Common Man coffee, or an indulgent cup of Parisian hot chocolate! Prefer a boozy brunch? Go with a glass of Ruffino Italian Blanc Prosecco ($12++)  instead, or go all out with 90 minutes free flow prosecco for just $48++!

unnamedwild honey brownie

Drool-worthy Eats of the Week: Tom Yum Cereal Salmon & BBQ Pork Ribs at Pluck

One glance at Pluck’s new menu was all it took win my heart…er, stomach. So like any good foodie I strolled over to get a taste of what promised to be a feast of fusion bites highlighting Southeast Asian flavors.

Full disclosure: the reality was so much better than I could have ever anticipated.

Two dishes truly stood out among some stellar competition: the Tom Yum Cereal Salmon…

salmon-photo-final

and Assam BBQ Pork Ribs…

rib-photo-final

Talk about leaving me breathless. I wolfed down that salmon in under two minutes and the ribs didn’t take much longer. Naturally I HAD to get a behind-the-scenes look at how these absurdly tasty dishes were created. Come fly with me…into Pluck’s kitchen!

Tom Yum Cereal Salmon ($22++)

salmon-1
The Norwegian salmon bites take a quick dip in a lake of tom-yum spiced cereal crumbs…

salmon-2
are presented to the oven gods for 7 brief minutes…

salmon-3
and are finished with simple topping of mentaiko mayo and spring onion. BAM.

Sublime.

The salmon is ridiculously moist and tender and the scrumptious bites pack a huge flavour. The smooth mayo nicely tempers the spice of the tom yum, and the crunch of the cereal contrasts appealingly with the melt-in-your-mouth fish. Just putting it out there – it makes for an otherworldly experience.

salmon-4
We are not worthy of this deliciousness.

Assam BBQ Pork Ribs ($22++)

Next on my plate are some meaty bad boys. After being marinated in a tamarind/secret spice/BBQ sauce compote they get a royal 12 hour sous-vide treatment at 75 degrees to lock in the flavour. Then the magic happens:

assam-ribs-1
They get an extra coating of the pineapple & honey infused BBQ sauce before being torched to perfection. (Hey, is that drool on your phone?)

assam-ribs-2
They’re finished with a beautiful spattering of peanuts, Japanese rice seasoning, fried shallots, and red onion.

assam-ribs-3

And here we have the five wickedly tender, well-sized pieces of juicy meat. The hint of fish in the Japanese rice flavoring is pleasantly balanced by the tangy sweetness of the sauce and the entire dish is elevated thanks to the combined texture of peanuts and shallots. Never thought I’d say it but this is a surprisingly complex rib!

thai-tea-tiramisu

I have to give a special shout-out as well to the Thai Tea-ramisu ($10++). The ladyfinger cookies are soaked in, you guessed it, Thai tea, and chilled together with a premium Thai-tea infused mascarpone for 24 hours. Overall it’s an incredibly palate-pleasing dessert that nails the right balance of creamy, fluffy, and refreshing. Don’t expect the sugar level of a typical Thai iced tea though, cause it’s a less prominent hint of sweetness and a surprisingly subtle flavour of tea that provides the perfect ending to the savory mains.

Find it at 90 Club Street.
