Overeasy

In line with a long-standing tradition of the firm, drinks was organised to welcome the newly-called-to-the-bar lawyers at a very different sort of bar, Overeasy. Hanging out with my colleagues is always full of rambunctious laughter and easy conversation, even without the element of alcohol. So you can imagine what the alcohol-hyped-up atmosphere that night was.

We had to line our tummies with food first before imbibing copious amounts of alcohol, and Overeasy offers a pretty substantial menu of classic American diner grub (read: rich, greasy and hearty comfort food) with a modern and luxe twist.

We started off with Mini Meatball Sandwiches ($14), which were basically bite-sized beef burgers. The beef was coarsely ground up, full of texture and robust in flavour.



I liked that the Freshly Cut Haystack Fries with Parmesan and Rosemary ($11) did away with salt and used parmesan cheese to season the thin potato strips. Rosemary was added for fragrance and healthy flavour. This was quite addictive.


The Cheesesteak Sliders ($15) were another hit, with creamy and salty cheddar melted over tender juicy beef cubes (these have to be eaten when hot, because they tend to get rubbery when cold). Unfortunately for us, the STI closed higher that day, so the promotional price of $1 per burger wasn't applicable.


The Beer Battered John Dory with Malt Vinegar Aioli ($15) was one of my personal favourites. Fresh, flaky fish in a very light and smooth batter (adding beer to your batter creates bubbles which make the batter light) and flash-fried, resulting in a very palatable snack.


The pleasant surprise about the Homemade Tortilla Chips with Fresh Guacamole and Pork Sausage Cheese Dips ($14) was the sausage and cheese dip (the pink one). It was chunky and rich and completely addictive.


The Chicken Wings with Hot Sauce and Ranch Dressing ($14) were also snapped up in a flash. Juicy succulent wings were encased in a lightly-spiced batter, resulting in a crispy and flavourful skin.


A colleague was extra hungry so she ordered the Spaghetti with Wagyu Bolognese and Fresh Basil ($19), classic tomato-based spaghetti with a touch of luxury with the use of premium wagyu. Personally, I didn't think there was a discernible difference between the "normal" beef bolognese and premium wagyu bolognese.


While most stuck to beers, some of us chose to sip cocktails. From left to right, G.H. Mumm's Champagne (promotional price of $99 so we ordered many bottles of this), Virgin Peach Margarita (for me because I'm a responsible driver) ($9) and a favourite of the Sex & The City women, the Cosmopolitan ($15).

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...
