Moo Station @ Crawford Lane (Lavender) - First of Its Kind Phuket Style Pork Dry Rice Porridge

Probably the first in Singapore is the Phuket style Pork Dry Rice Porridge, located inside a kopitiam at Crawford Lane. Moo Station is opened by a husband and wife team, Pilaiporn Boonchoo (Sandy) and David Ang. The dish Khao Tom Hoeng (dry rice porridge) gained popularity when Go Benz in Phuket City got a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019. Since we can't travel with all the travel restrictions now, Sandy decides to R&D and bring the dish from her hometown to our shore.

Signature Pork Dry Rice Porridge 4/5

The Signature Pork Dry Rice Porridge comes in 2 sizes. $5 for small and $7 for large. In the rice bowl, there are pig innards, minced pork, pork slices and pork rib. To enjoy, pour the bowl of sweet pork soup into the rice bowl.

The pork soup is the soul of the dry rice porridge, flavouring the enjoyment. At the same time, the addition of fried garlic gives it an aromatic boost. It is a hearty and comforting bowl of dry rice porridge. I have never try Khao Tom Hoeng before, so I can't compare. Personally, I feel if the soup is a bit peppery will be more appetising.

Crispy Pork Skin 4/5

Crispy Pork Belly 4.2/5

Besides the dry rice porridge, one can complete the meal with sides such as Crispy Pork Skin ($1.50) and Crispy Pork Belly ($6). The pork skin is an addictive crispy snack. However, I am more surprised by the juicy, crispy pork belly with crackling skin. Therefore, I highly recommend ordering it to complete your meal.

If you can't decide what to order, you can go for the Combo Set Meal for 2 Pax ($18/ $22). It comes 2 Signature Pork Dry Rice Porridge, 1 Crispy Pork Belly, 1 Fried Pork Skin and 2 Onsen Eggs.

Revolver @ Tras Street - Hottest New Restaurant That Offers Progressive Grill Menu with Indian and International Flavours

Revolver is the latest and hottest restaurant to be opened at the bustling Tras Street. The restaurant embraces the fire of Indian cooking sensibilities, world-class premium produce and carefully selected global spices to create a progressive and exciting dining experience. There is three tasting menus - Discovery Menu ($139++), Experience Menu ($179++) and Vegetarian Menu ($129++).

Stuffed Courgette Flowers 5/5

I have the 9-course Experience Menu ($179++), starting with the Stuffed Courgette Flowers. It is gently grilled, stuffed with a creamy cottage cheese mash, and lightly finished with a spiced tomato relish. I am taken aback by the perfect combination of flavour and textures, firing to a whole new gastronomic experience.

Boneless Wings and Necks, Yuzu Aioli 4.2/5

Cooked in the hand-built Tandoor, the Boneless Wings and Necks are beautifully spiced, tender and just delicious. Perk up the enjoyment by pairing it with the yuzu aioli.

Fresh Paneer, Goan Sambal 4.5/5

I thought the Fresh Paneer tasted like a block grilled soft tofu. However, the highlight has to be the Goan Sambal that elevates the enjoyment of the paneer.

Barramundi, Raw Mango Dust 4.2/5

The Barramundi sprinkled with raw mango dust is moist, smokey and flavoursome. I would recommend tasting the original flavour before squeezing the burnt lemon to zest up the flavour.

Wagyu Scotch Egg 3.5/5

The Wagyu Scotch Egg probably is the weakest link among the different dishes. You can also opt to add 5gms of caviar for an extra $25. Though the scotch egg has a luxe interpretation using wagyu and caviar, it didn't wow me. Instead, I was more interested in the addictive crispy potato nest, reminding me of tikha gathiya.

Lobster Pepper Garlic Butter 4.8/5

Another beautiful course we enjoyed a lot was the Lobster Pepper Garlic Butter. The fireworks of spices complement the sweetness of the bouncy lobster flesh excellently. It even comes with rice on the side.

Marga Lamb Chop 4.2/5

I love the simplicity of appreciating the Marga Lamb Chop grilled to a delectable juicy, tender and moist texture.

Pulled Pork and Gruyere Kulchette 5/5

Another dish that impressed me is the Pulled Pork and Gruyere Kulchette. The flatbread stuffed with gruyere was crisp on the exterior with a delightful textural bite inside, topped with pulled pork that has been flavoured with coconut milk and tamarind chutney. It is super good! It is a fitting finale for the savoury courses.

Berries, Cream, Almond Tuille

Wrapping up the 9-course meal is the Berries, Cream and Almond Tuille, topped with pistachio. It may be just an ice cream dessert, but the addition of textures from the pistachio and almond tuille accentuated the sweet indulgence.

Guest can also go for 3 or 5 glass Wine Pairing menu ($50++ or $120++) or the Experience Pairing ($168++) featuring a choice of cocktails, wine and sake to complete the gastronomic experience.
