I dropped by Platypus Kitchen after seeing many positive reviews online about it. For starter, i wanted the 'Roasted Pumpkin Soup' as i simply adore pumpkin, but i was disappointed when i was told it was not available that day. Nevertheless, i took the waitress recommendation to try their 'Mushroom Soup' instead. The soup is really fragrant and substantial with real mushroom puree, definitely homemade and not from Campbell soup can. It is a pity there is no garlic bread with it, otherwise, it wi
For main course, i had the 'Pressed Pork Belly' that comes with braised apples, garden vegetables, honey and clove apple glaze. The sauce was separately served, so one can choose to taste the original flavour of the pork before adding the sauce. Flavourwise, the pork itself has only a salty, porky taste. It was definitely better with the sauce added, but i felt that the sauce was too sweet, though it might be my own tastebud as i like salty rather than sweet food for my main meals.
One thing i dislike about this dish is that the pork is presented in a whole slab with bones intact at the bottom. It was really hard to cut through the meat and the tough bones below worsen the situation. This also makes chewing the huge chunk of meat a tough job. I think it will be real good if they help us slice or cut it into smaller cubes.Overall, i can feel their passion towards their
food and i will be back to try their other dishes.
