Saint Pierre

Saint Pierre, arguably Singapore's finest French restaurant, has just launched a new brunch menu, featuring the season's best. Located at the balmy Quayside Isle, Saint Pierre is a little slice of nirvana, away from the bustle of town. I can't think of a better place to while away a lazy Sunday afternoon. And, it may surprise you to know that, for a seemingly fancy restaurant, the prices are affordably competitive and ambience is casually breezy. So yes, you can actually walk in bermuda-shorted and sandals-clad. Coupled with the picturesque surrounds, honest-to-goodness food, and exceptional service, this is one hidden gem of a brunch spot.

An off-menu dish, the Smoked Salmon ($18), was a game-changer. I was never a fan of smoked salmon, but the wild Scottish salmon, smoked in-house at Saint Pierre, was sublime. It was impossibly fresh, and cured with just the perfect amount of soot for that salty-sweet balance. The accompanying cream was enlivened with a touch of lemon, and chives. Best smoked salmon I've ever had in my life. Truly a must-try.

The perfectly poached Eggs Benedict ($24), draped in an effervescent champagne hollandaise, and generously layered with glorious ribbons of iberico bellota ham, atop a buttery crusty brioche, was seriously delicious. This took the crown of best eggs benedict from reigning champ Choupinette.

The Poached Eggs with Pulled Braised Duck Leg Confit ($24) with pickled cherry tomatoes and toasted sourdough was another winner. The duck confit was meltingly luscious, made even more sumptuous by the runny egg slobbering all over. The meat-loving Hubs practically inhaled this.

ABC Brickworks Food Centre

Image
싱가포르에 호커 센터 중에서 에이비씨 브릭워케 호커 센터를 우리가 제일 좋아해요. 실제로 싱가포르에서 가장 크고 유명한 호커 센터 중 하나예요. 가끔 외국인 여행자들이 이 호커 센터에서 식사하고 관광도 해요.  호커 음식은 내가 우리 나라 싱가포르에서 제일 사랑하는 것이에요. 호커 푸드는 내 컴포트 푸드여서 내 마음에 들어와요. 음식도 싸고 맛있고 종류도 많아요. 해외여행 가면 그리운 음식이 호커푸드인데 싱가포르에 돌아와서 가장 먼저 먹는 음식이 박초미예요.  박초미은 아마도 내가 제일 좋아하는 호커푸드예요. 나는 식초맛을 좋아하고 버섯볶음이 제일 맛있고 용기가 제일 맛있어요.   =========================   ABC Brickworks is one of the more well-known, and beloved, hawker centres in SG. The fact that tourists can sometimes be seen traipsing down the rows of neon-lit stalls is testament to its fame.  We hit up ABC a couple times a month, at least; the hawker centre is central enough that satisfying a local food craving here doesn't require an hour+-long round trip (unlike with Fengshan Bedok); there's ample enough lots that parking doesn't require the patience of a saint (unlike with Serangoon Gardens); seats are plentiful enough that large groups are able to find a table fairly easily, and ...

The People vs Cheapo Food Bloggers and Bad English

This is a mini rant. Friends know that my one guilty indulgence is reading food blogs ("flogs"). ("guilty" because I read them at work...yes, my boss reads this flog too) And Singapore, despite its little size, has a very developed food blogging scene. A quick surf on the internet will prove that there is an inordinate number of flogs for a country as tiny as ours. I suppose it's really due to the connectivity of our island, its technologically savvy netizens and their insatiable appetite and love for food. But lately, I've noticed a worrying trend. There is a growing number of flogs that I've stopped reading entirely, simply because almost 90% of their posts are all based on invited tastings. Don't these cheapos ever pay for their meals anymore?!? I've always thought that the ( one of the primary ) purpose( s ) of writing a flog is to introduce to the good people of Singapore the various culinary treasures on our little island. An invited ...

Janggut Laksa vs 328 Katong Laksa, Queensway Shopping Centre

Image
Queensway Shopping Centre , where locals flock to for all things sports and optical-related, is also known for good laksa. There are 2 laksa stalls, within a stone's throw of each other, both claiming to serve up the best. Both tout to be affiliates of world-famous Katong ones, and the accolades, writeups and publicity plastered all the utilitarian facades will attest to the fierce competition. Seating at both eateries is cramped and constrained, so dining is really a touch-and-go affair. Both are manned by efficient, if a little curt, bevy of staff, and so turnover is high. Good news for the 5-minute-on-average long line of diners waiting their turn. The menu is similarly limited, with laksa being the primary dish of choice, and its fixins' like otah and lime juice as regular side orders. Curry chicken, Chinese-style, is also a popular option. Janggut Laksa  The Laksa ($3.50 for small) here was disappointingly lackluster. It was insipid, and the milk had obviously cur...
