SG Food on Foot Best Eat in 2014

It is the end of the year again and it is time to summarize my best eat for the year 2014. Before getting to that, I would like to reflect some of the things that I have done or achieve in 2014. I got hitched in 6 September 2014 and moved to west side of Singapore. While it comes with a new set of responsibilities in life, I will still continue to up keep my blog the best that I can. I have also rooted in two writers, Si An and Li Tian to help me on an ad hoc basis. I hope you can give them the same love as you have supported me all these years.

Another great achievement in 2014 for me is being given the opportunity to curate the hawkers for the Ultimate Hawker Fest 2014 together with Maureen and Ian. We have never done such a big scale event before but I am glad that with the supports from many media (both online and print), hawkers, chefs, friends and families, we managed to put everything together in such a short time frame. A great thank you to all of you. Food really units people together. I am glad that I am part of this journey.

Without further ado, let me present to you SG Food on Foot Best Eat in 2014 (not in order of merit). The places are selected based on the fact that they are near the MRT stations and I have enjoyed my dining experience there.

East 8, New York Fusion Tapas + Bar @ Grand Park Hotel City Hall

Moosehead Kitchen - Bar @ Telok Ayer Street

Sek Tong Gai (食通街) @ Tanglin Halt

Seasons Bistro @ Triple One Somerset

Whale & Cloud (鲸舆雲) @ Niven Road (Selegie)

Tamashii Robataya @ North Canal Road

NUVO @ Marina Square

Bedrock Bar & Grill @ Pan Pacific Serviced Suites

&SONS @ China Square Central

Zott's True Alps @ Amoy Street

This is my top 10 best eat places in 2014 for me. Some of them are not new restaurants or eateries. It just means that the food scene in Singapore is so big and ever changing that I only have time to visit them in 2014. I hope you have enjoy the list. Last but not least, wishing all of you a Happy New Year.

Hungry Heroes @ Tessensohn Road

An interesting concept has set foot at Tessensohn Road near little india area with the descent of the super heroes. Under the same roof of the 2 storey shophouse housed Hungry Heroes, a restaurant and deli on the ground floor while Art Art And Away, a lifestyle space that retails unique decorative art and home furnishing products occupied the 2nd floor.

Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar 4/5

Beer fanatic will be rejoiced with the specially curated selection of beers at Hungry Heroes. To mention a few, I had the Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar ($14) that has a rich nutty flavour that goes very well with grilled chicken. The gold medal winner at the world beer championship 1995, Rogue Mocha Porter is an excellent pairing with the signature pork ribs. Available on tap is the Deschutes River Ale which is an easy to drink pale ale that pairs well with a wide range of meats.

Steak Out 3.5/5

The food at Hungry Heroes is all about hearty and robust meats. We tried the Hungry Heroes Platter which comes in 3 sizes. We had the Steak Out ($108) which is good for 5 to 6 people. The platter consists of 200g ribeye, full rack of pork ribs, pulled pork, sausage trio, 250g deboned chicken leg, beef stew and veal osso bucco. This is perfect for group gathering as everyone gets a share of the different meats that is on the menu.

Steak Out 3.5/5

Among all the different meats that is on the platter, my favourite has to the pork ribs. The twice cooked pork ribs were so tender and juicy, felling off the bone with ease and literally melted in the mouth. The rest was decent but not memorable.

Brownie with Ice Cream 3/5

Wrapping out the dinner, we had the classic Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream. Nothing fancy but a nice closure to a super heroes reception.

I have to admit my photos did not mange to justify how beautiful the restaurant is. You just have to make a trip down and admire the display of the owner's personal super heroes collection. While the food is decent, you will be captivated by the beauty of the place and its a great place for group gathering.
