Angel & Devil Asian Fusion Bistro @ Keong Saik Road - Decent Food But Nestled In A Very Competitive F&B Area

AngelNDevil13

Keong Saik Road in the modern day is known for its vibrant F&B scene with many restaurants along the stretch of shophouses. Opened back in September 2020 at the heart of Keong Saik Road without any hype, Angel & Devil Asian Fusion Bistro offers Asian-European cuisine with a range of affordable alcohols that comes as part of the experience.

Devil's Mac & Cheese 3.8/5

Our lunch started with the Devil's Mac & Cheese ($12). The generous topping of bacon bits, crispy floss, onion and cheese, gives the dish the extra layer of flavour and textural enjoyment. I felt the sweetness can be slightly reduced, to allow the cheese profile to be more prominent.

Guinness Braised Baby Pork Ribs 3.8/5

Moving to the mains, we started with the Guinness Braised Baby Pork Ribs ($32). The baby pork ribs are cooked to fork-tender with the hint of Guinness coming through but not overpowering. The coat of 5 pepper crust smartly brightens the taste profile.

Signature Cereal Crusted Baked Cod Fish 4/5

My favourite dish goes to the Signature Cereal Crusted Baked Cod Fish ($32). The superior soy broth complements excellently with the moist and buttery cod fish. I enjoyed the execution as it leans towards the familiarity of the Asian steamed fish with delightful crusted cereal coat atop the skin.

"Angel Meet Devil" Sundae 3.5/5

Suitable for sharing is the "Angel Meet Devil" Sundae ($15). I am not sure why the name but angel probably refers to the cotton candy wrapped around the hot chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream and raspberry sorbet like a group of cloud. I would assume devil is the sinful indulgence of the dessert.

I feel that the food at Angel & Devil is actually quite decent. However, I find the pricing is quite expensive for the a la carte items, especially when there is a lot of competition in the area. Being new and unknown, it is quite hard to draw customers away from the established restaurants in the area. If you are on a budget, I would recommend going for the lunch sets ranging from $10 to $20 that comes with house salad, soup of the day, choice of mains and medley fruits with greek yoghurt and chia seeds.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

For drinks, we had the refreshing B&L Sling ($16) one of their signature cocktails, as well as the PG-13 mocktail ($9), a non-alcoholic option but no less satisfying with grapefruit, lime, grenadine and tonic.

Pan-Fried King Prawns 4/5

To start off the meal, we had their Pan-Fried King Prawns (3pcs/$13). Served in a smoked paprika and garlic butter sauce, the prawns were tender and juicy.

Original Lobster Roll 4.5/5

We had their signature Original Lobster Roll ($34) paired with crispy fries and salad, which comes with generous chunks of fresh lobster meat dressed in Japanese mayo and lemon, sandwiched in between a soft and buttery toasted brioche roll. Drizzle the accompanying lemon and garlic butter sauce to amp up the fresh lobster flavours.

Lobster Laksa 4.2/5

Locally inspired dish, the Lobster Laksa ($67 for whole lobster) features wild-caught fresh lobsters cooked in an aromatic coconut sauce. The broth was fragrant, with a mild spicy kick, while the lobster meat was fresh and tender. Served with rice noodles bean sprouts and tofu.

The Venison Burger 4/5

The Venison Burger ($25) is the limited-edition festive burger introduced for this year's coming Christmas. It comes with a thick and succulent venison mushroom patty served on sesame brioche bun with brie, balsamic mayo, a sweet cranberry balsamic compote and crispy bacon for a mix of textures and flavours that complement one another well.

To round off the meal, we also had their festive dessert, Bread Pudding which features soft and fluffy bread drizzled with chocolate sauce.
