Charred and Chilled Eggplant $148
A very innovative and delicious dish.
The amount of crab is very generous and it has a very fresh fishy taste which I enjoyed. The taste of the sea is a great friend to dill (an herb that partners with salmon for that delicious Nordic soup) and the warm, slightly grassy taste that it brings works wonders with the tender crab.
The eggplant is charred THEN chilled, not two separate ways of preparing eggplant (charred and chilled respectively) as I thought. Nonetheless, it’s delicious and soft. However, the char is only evident in the area near the stem where the skin is.
The flesh is shredded which made eating it with the crab easy and clean.
I do want to point out that the sauce on the bottom is heavenly. So refreshing. It’s sweet but not saccharine. It’s tangy but not tart and just works great with the coldness of the dish.
The incongruous soft boiled egg didn’t provide any extra flavor as it’s not seasoned but the creamy yolk was nice to use as a dip for the eggplant and prawn cracker.
Speaking of the rain cracker, it taste the same as commercial ones from a packet. Embodying the same greasy after-taste too. It was lighter and better with the eggplant and crab which they intended it to be eaten as.
The menu (and servers) says it has toasted peanuts but I cannot taste or feel it in any of my bites. I do wish I had that toasted crunch for my bites as everything was quite tender and soft.
The ratio of crab to eggplant is 1:1 which I highly appreciated as they didn’t skimp on the meat but it honestly is not worth $148. This portion could maybe feed 2 people? I finished it alone easily.

Sate Okra $78
Chef Logan’s favorite dish on the menu so naturally I had to try it.
A fairly simple dish with grilled okra, crispy garlic and shallots, calamansi and lime juice. This has a similar spice as Szechuan peppercorn, a mild numbness that encapsulates your mouth. The chilli sauce is called ot sa te.
The okra is cooked well so it’s tender but still crunchy. Loved the grill marks on it too.
If you find the spice too much, you can always suck on the grilled calamansi on the side but beware that it’s very tart and sour 😆
10 pieces of okra, not a bad side.

推介 🤷♀️ try once
💬 Overall, most (if not all) of their foods are supposed to be bar snacks and small bites. Because of this, they should not charge such a high price for it. Although it is kinda understandable due to the flavors and ingredients used.
However, the service is not that great. The staff mostly talks amongst themselves and they don’t have much knowledge about the foods and doesn’t seem to know customers’ need.
