OMMA Korean Charcoal BBQ @ Cheong Chin Nam Road (Bukit Timah) - Singapore's First Wood-Fire Korean Charcoal BBQ's 2nd Outlet

OMMA Korean Charcoal BBQ has recently opened its second outlet at Bukit Timah. Pride itself on being Singapore’s first wood-fire Korean Charcoal BBQ. Selecting natural wood charcoal that burns smokelessly, diners get to choose from five types of carefully selected wood to enhance the flavours of the ingredients.

You have 5 options of wood to choose from: Applewood, Cherry, Pecan, Hickory and Jarrah. Opt for any to cook your meal for only $3 per 30g. We started with Hickory Firewood ($3/30g), specially selected to go with the Japan A4 Grade Beef Ribeye ($81/180g). Hickory is meant to cut through the fattiness of meats to cook with punchy smokiness thoroughly. With such a high-quality piece of meat, it was such an experience to be able to barbecue it using real firewood.

For variety, a recommended item will be the Special Beef and Pork Set ($105). The set includes Iberico Pork Collar, Pork Belly, Beef Ribs, Beef Striploin, Steam Egg, Kimchi Soup and Side Dishes.

We continued with the beef before switching the Hickory Firewood to Apple Firewood as we moved on to the pork. The smell of the burning Apple firewood was extremely alluring, adding a wonderful aroma to the meats.

The accompanying piquant kimchi soup, steamed egg, and side dishes are ideal fillers in between bites to complement the meats or while waiting for them to be done.

With over 60 ala carte options starting from $8.80 and set menus from $49, there is also fresh seafood such as prawns, mussels and even oysters.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

The French Fold @ Palais Renaissance - New Outlet At Orchard Road For Their Popular French Crepes & Galettes

When it first opened at Telok Ayer, The French Fold was so hard to get a seat for their French crepes and galettes. Now the customers can have another option at their newest outlet located at Palais Renaissance, Orchard Road.

Besides the French crepes and galettes, customers can chill over a few glasses of cocktails. 

No.15 Sausage Galette 4.8/5

First is the No.15 Sausage Galette ($20). It is a big breakfast folded into the buckwheat pancake with sausage, pork pancetta, sunny egg side up, red bean and tomato. It is a hearty breakfast crepe that can be enjoyed any time of the day.

No.11 Yellow Curry Galette 4/5

Next is the No.11 Yellow Curry Galette ($22). Yellow curry in French pancake may sound like a weird combination, but it works for me. The subtle curry paired with fresh sauteed shrimps, onion and leeks can be enjoyed by both the young and old. However, I prefer the curry to carry more punches as the flavour was too mild for me.

No.30 White Chocolate Crepe 4.8/5

I do not have a sweet tooth, but I would highly recommend ending your meal on a sweet note with the chocolate heaven crepe, No.30 White Chocolate Crepe ($16). The rich and intense chocolatey flavour complements the sweet crepe excellently. It is addictively good. You will want to go back for more.

It is not just about galettes and crepes at French Fold. They have an extensive menu that includes sides, burgers, and salads. The restaurant can get quite crowded, especially on weekends. I would highly recommend making a reservation to avoid disappointment. You can do so at http://mercimarcelgroup.com/fold/french-fold-palais-renaissance/
