Angie's Oyster Bar & Grill @ Havelock - Refreshed Dining Space and a New Chef’s Seasonal Menu

Located in the Tan Boon Liat Building, Angie's Oyster Bar & Grill has been dedicated to offering quality seafood and meats since 2021. This time, the restaurant unveiled a new Chef's Seasonal Menu for dinner, featuring new creations and enhancements to beloved signature dishes.

Starting from 10 July, diners can enjoy this attractively priced dinner set, with options of a 4-course meal at $78 per person or a 6-course meal at $98 per person. Elevating the dinner with a specially curated wine pairing is also available: $58 per person for three 90ml pours or $78 per person for four 90ml pours, matching the respective courses.

Angie's has also been continually upgrading its interior. Recent revamps include a new copper wall showcasing their wine collection and a refurbished live oyster tank. The complete makeover is expected to be ready by July 2024, promising an even more inviting ambience for diners.

Kombucha

I am a huge fan of Kombucha ($9) and was elated to hear that Angie's serves homemade ones in three refreshing flavours: original, yuzu, and passionfruit. Handcrafted in-house, these kombuchas are all natural without any added preservatives or additives.

Chef’s Special Selection of Oysters 4.5/5

A visit to Angie's would only be complete with trying their oysters. The Chef's Special Selection of Oysters featured a trio, each uniquely dressed. On the day of our visit, we had oysters from Japan.

Chef’s Special Selection of Oysters 4.5/5

Typically, I enjoy my oysters bare, but Angie's demonstrated how suitable dressings can enhance the natural flavours of the shellfish. From right to left, we started with a refreshing piece adorned with plum-infused horseradish and shiso, followed by a zesty and sweet number with passionfruit ponzu, and concluded with a delightful pairing of Tsuyataro cucumber and cold-pressed olive oil.

Homemade Ricotta & Cranberry Apricot Jam Toast 4.2/5

The open-faced Homemade Ricotta & Cranberry Apricot Jam Toast was a real treat. Crafted and fermented in-house, the fresh ricotta shone through with its mild creaminess, beautifully contrasted by crunchy Granny Apple strips and tangy-sweet apricot jam.

Blue Tasting of the Sea 4.2/5

Our amuse-bouche, aptly named Blue Tasting of the Sea, featured three delightful bites - bluefin tuna topped with negi on crispy rice, Galician blue prawn tartar studded with flying fish roe atop toasted sourdough and finally, my favourite of the three, a blue swimmer crab slaw served on a homemade crispy spiced papadum.

Charred Romaine Wedge 4.2/5

Angie's rendition of the classic Caesar Salad is one to look out for. Their Charred Romaine Wedge is adorned with specially sourced chilli pepper-cured Atlantic sardines, parmesan polenta chips, homemade anchovy vinaigrette, and hickory-smoked bacon. The result is a balanced mix of smokiness, cheesiness, and crunch.

Angie’s Original Fish & Chips 4.2/5

For my main course, I chose Angie's Original Fish & Chips, while my dining companions chose the Hawke's Bay Wagyu Ribeye and Cold-water Lobster Linguine.

Angie's Fish & Chips, a favourite among diners, offered a surprise in this set menu: instead of just one type of fish, it featured two — NZ Wild-caught Halibut and Line-caught Barramundi, both coated in their signature stout batter for an impressive crunch. Accompaniments included fries, crushed peas, and a jalapeno tartar sauce.

Strawberry Meringue with Toasted Coconut Gelato 4/5

We concluded our set dinner with a festive dessert, the Strawberry Meringue with Toasted Coconut Gelato. Thoughtfully created to commemorate Singapore's upcoming 59th birthday in August, it is adorned in celebratory hues of red and white. A scoop of coconut gelato accompanies homemade elements of strawberry crumble, strawberry-swirled meringue chips, sliced strawberries and lychee pearls.

Ube Cornbread 4.2/5

The unique Ube Cornbread ($18) was highly recommended and lovely! A warm base of sweet cornbread is topped with a smooth ube (purple yam) Mont Blanc, paired harmoniously with coconut gelato, mild cheddar custard and toasted coconut sprinkles.

Tien Court @ Copthorne King’s Hotel - Celebrates 35th Anniversary With A Fresh Menu

Tien Court, located at Copthorne King’s Hotel, celebrates its 35th anniversary with a fresh menu curated by Master Chef Lui. With a lifelong dedication to Teochew cuisine and a profound cultural insight, Chef Lui's menu highlights the natural flavors and freshness of ingredients, ranging from seafood to poultry and vegetables.

Assorted Dim Sums 4/5

The Dim Sum menu is a highlight, featuring delectable offerings like the Teochew Steamed Crystal Dumpling, plump with a juicy mixture of dried shrimp, preserved radish, and turnip, wrapped in delicate translucent skin. Equally delightful is the pan-seared Teochew Chai Kueh, boasting a well-made kueh skin with a tasty seared exterior. One notable item is the Crispy Teochew Dumpling, featuring an airy crust filled with succulent prawn and bamboo shoot.

Double-boiled Fish Maw Nourishing Soup 5/5

The Double-boiled Fish Maw Nourishing Soup was stunning with a generous portion of premium fish maw complemented by chicken collagen, bamboo shoots, and an array of herbs. Slow-cooked for hours, the result was a velvety broth with a rich depth of flavor, offering a nourishing and satisfying experience.

Braised Sliced Silver Hill Irish Duck 4/5

An elevated take on the traditional Teochew braised duck is the Braised Sliced Silver Hill Irish Duck. While the use of Irish duck doesn't necessarily make the dish tastier than its regular counterpart, the addition of extra fats enhances its richness. However, what stood out for me is the aromatic and herbaceous braising sauce.

Signature Teochew Puning Fermented Bean Chicken 4.5/5

The Signature Teochew Puning Fermented Bean Chicken showcases the unique ingredient of Puning fermented bean paste. This dish features a whole chicken marinated in a mixture of Puning fermented beans — a specialty from the city of Puning — along with aromatics like ginger and pandan leaves. The chicken is gently baked in a claypot over fire. The meat emerged succulent, accompanied by a sauce that balanced sweetness with a subtle tang, offering a complex and enticing flavour profile.

Pan-fried Cod Fish with Superior Soy Sauce 5/5

Signature Braised White Teat Sea Cucumber 5/5

We had 2 excellent seafood dishes. The Pan-fried Cod Fish was executed with a perfect crust flavoured with a light superior soy sauce. The Signature Braised White Teat Sea Cucumber in oyster sauce is a memorable dish - Deep fried after braising, the sea cucumber had a delectable chewy and bouncy texture, contrasted with its crisp skin. This preparation also allowed it to absorb the oyster sauce better, elevating its flavours.

Teochew-style Oyster Omelette 3.5/5

The Teochew-style Oyster Omelette is prepared with Master Chef Lui’s special fish sauce blend. The egg and flour mixture is fried to a crisp perfection, with plump oysters nestled beneath it. While the dish delivered as expected, juicier and plumper oysters would have elevated its taste and flavour.

Signature Teochew Wok-fried Hor Fun 4/5

Signature Teochew Wok-fried Hor Fun with diced kailan and preserved radish hor fun boasts a remarkable infusion of wok hei. While the hor fun base itself leans slightly towards the bland side, it's elevated by the abundance of umami-rich flavors and textures from the other ingredients. Each mouthful is a delightful combination of wok hei and diverse flavours.

Steamed Yam Paste 5/5

The Steamed Yam Paste 'Orh Nee' with pumpkin and gingko nut stands out as one of the finest I've tasted from a restaurant. The yam paste had the right amount of sweetness, complemented by tiny yam chunks within that added texture. For those craving extra sweetness, a side of sugar syrup is provided.

Other than A curated range of set menus with Individual and Group Set Menus are available, priced from $78 per person for a 7-course exploration menu to 8-course family-style menu for a party of 10 for $1,088.

Epicure Brunch 4.2/5

Held every Sunday from 12pm to 3pm, this brunch offers a diverse range of cuisines. From Food Capital, indulge in fresh seafood-on-ice; SanSara serves up traditional North Indian dishes, while Riverside Terrace, the hotel's newest addition, specialises in Josper grill creations like Wagyu ribeye and foie gras.

Prices for the buffet are as follow:
- $128++ for adults, $64++ for children aged 6-11
- Includes unlimited non-alcoholic beverages such as mocktails, juices and soft drinks.

- $158++ for adults
- Includes unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages such as prosecco, wine, beer, juices and soft drinks

- $188++ for adults
- Includes additional Veuve Clicquot Champagne

Seafood-on-ice

The Seafood-on-ice station was a popular choice among many diners as their first stop. It showcased a tower of fresh snow crab legs, scallops, mussels, clams, tiger prawns, lobsters, and more.

Seafood-on-ice

Our top two favourites among these options were the sweet and meaty snow crab legs and the briny oysters.

Cheese Table

The Cheese Table had a good number of options, with sides of nuts, dried fruits, and crackers to pair with them.

Smoked Salmon and Ham Cuts

Next to the Cheese Table, a spread of Smoked Salmon and Ham Cuts awaits. I enjoyed the various cuts of ham, and the smoked salmon came in several flavours.

Salad

For something lighter, look for the Salad Corner, which offers Idaho Potato and Mushroom, Mixed Seafood Salad, Mediterranean Quinoa Salad, and the option to make your own with their homemade dressings.

Bread Table

Bread lovers can find all types of bread at the Bread Table.

Carved Meats

Among the Carved Meats, expect Herb Marinated Prime Rib, Pork Rib, Barbecue Veal Rib and more.

Hot Food

Apart from the generous meat offerings, there was also a significant selection of other hot foods, including Grilled Vegetables, Sauteed Fish, and even the iconic combination of Fried Mantou and Singapore chilli crab. The Chilli Crab carried a good amount of fragrance and heat.

Hot Food

Another popular station among diners was the Grilled Scallops and plated Pan-Fried Foie Gras. Definitely give the latter a try! The buttery Foie Gras was topped with a tangy-sweet fruit sauce and raspberry sorbet.

Live Noodle Station

The chefs at the Live Noodle Station will prepare your Laksa or Prawn Noodles fresh upon request. There were also various boiled soups on the side.

Josper Grill Station

Grab the wooden pegs at your table to make your order at the Josper Grill Station. Dishes cooked a la minute include prawns and tender Mediterranean Octopus. After you order, they will be thoughtfully sent to your table.

Josper Grill Station

At the same station, I look forward to the well-seasoned Australian Lamb Rack, Wagyu Ribeye, and Roasted Chicken.

Crab Ravioli

Make sure that you do not miss out on the far end of the buffet line. Here, you can enjoy Pizzas, Truffle Fries, Tapas, and freshly cooked Pasta. We opted for the creamy Crab Ravioli.

North Indian Delicacies

At a surprise corner, explore quality North Indian Delicacies presented by the team of the new SanSara. From Lamb Bhuna Gosht to Dum Ke Murgh, get them to pair with a side of naan, roti or paratha, all fresh from the tandoor.

Dessert

Save some stomach space for Dessert from their exciting range. There was a Strawberry Chocolate Fondue, Cakes, Croffles, and Ice Cream — to name a few. If you had to pick, I would recommend checking out the Artisanal Chocolate counter. I especially adored the chocolates with tea-based flavours.

The Epicure Brunch buffet menu is rotational and subject to change.
