I couldn’t believe it when Openrice invited me for a food tasting session at Harry’s! After all, it was only my first week of induction into the community. Kudos to Reka for being such an amazing and chatty host, as well as other members of the Openrice team whose names I have forgotten.

Harry’s always had a rustic charm to its décor, so I was rather surprised to see postcards and other travel-inspired furnishing decking their walls. It was a rather refreshing change from the classic look!

First up, was the Fish Cracklings, which reminded me of a rather tasty fish cracker snack from the past (if anyone can give me the name, I will personally send you an email to thank you). The fish cracklings were delightfully crunchy and had the right amount of saltiness to go with it. The best way to enjoy the cracklings however, was to dip it with the accompany Garlic Mayo sauce, which was mild and garlic(ky). Upon further enquiry, I found out that the ‘fish’ in question was eel. Eels are fishes too right?

Fish Cracklings

Next were the Crab and Potato Cakes; cute little golden-brown pillows crowded around a pool of chilli sauce which they would soon be bathed in for devouring. The cakes were surprisingly fluffy, with a very strong flavorful of crab and a subtle hint of potato. The chilli sauce, though not very spicy, did not disappoint with its tinge of sweetness from the inclusion of tomato. Had it not been for the price ($19 for 6 pieces!), I would have considered ordering another plate for myself!

Crab & Potato Cakes

No bar experience would ever be complete without chicken wings, and Harry’s is brilliant enough to deliver wings that are quite simply put – delicious. For some strange reason, I compared the wings to the McWings served at well…. McDonald’s. Let’s face it; everyone loves anything from McDonalds, and McWings are heavenly. No, I’m not asking you to bring your own McWings and skip Harry’s Wings, for the portions here are definitely bigger! The homemade chili jam (a rather funky name for sambal sauce) adds a local spicy kick to it – and for that, I’m going to give this dish a thumbs up.

Harry's Signature Wings

Harry’s then treated us to a pint of their Harry’s Premium Lager, which I joyfully gulped down my throat. The beer was nothing out of the world, but its slight notes of malt and mild bitterness makes for an enjoyable drink for patrons.

Jalapeno Steak Sliders came after the beer; three mini burgers that I knew I could take on in under a minute. Strips of steak served with cheese, jalapeno and chili were housed between the soft and glazed buns. I could have devoured the entire thing in one mouthful, but decided to take a small chomp instead to maintain my dignity in the presence of other esteemed guests. “Oishi” I muttered to myself, and it was gone in the next 5 seconds. The burgers weren’t especially spicy, but carried a tinge of heat that is always welcome for people who can’t take spicy food.

Jalapeno Steak Sliders

Chicken Masala came next, with a heap of charcoal bread accompanying it. Initially, I thought that the contents in the bowl was curry, but soon found out that it was thick gravy infused with aromatic spices and chicken chunks. The chicken was surprisingly tender and had a chock-full of flavor thanks to the gravy. The bread however, tasted rather bland by itself, and had to be dipped into the gravy before actually tasting good. An excellent dish foiled only by the mediocre bread.

Perhaps the only disappointing dish on the menu – Crabmeat Spaghettini. The portions were generous but that didn’t justify the lacking flavor of the tomato base. I had expected a tangy taste when I had my first serving, but a rather weak and diluted tomato flavor followed instead. The crabmeat was also less than stellar, but managed to be the saving grace for the dish. Harry’s need really work on this dish if they want to keep it on the menu.

Crabmeat Spaghettini

I enjoy all kinds of alcohol, and the Dirty Harry certainly appealed to my sugar tooth! Served as a complement to the big plates (chicken masala and crabmeat spaghettini), this mixture of vodka, brown sugar, lychee liqueur, zesty lime wedges and cherry lychee at the top, added some well-deserved sweetness to the savory feast.

What dining experience would be complete without dessert? For our last dish, we had the Toffee Apple Crisp Tart, which was the perfect ending to the food tasting session. Apple slices lying atop crust pastry, coated with salted caramel sauce and a topping of vanilla ice cream. Each bite was chewy and had a soft velvety mouth-feel unlike a usual crust pastry dish. The caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream only makes it so much more sinful.

Toffee Apple Crisp Tart

This concludes my review for Harry’s Bar, and I would once again, like to thank Openrice and Reka for giving me this wonderful opportunity to experience being a food taster. Be sure to check out Harry’s Bar!

Harry's at Clark Quay, with a travel-themed has a warm & cozy ambiance

Heehee... so true!

Wefie while waiting for food to be served

The tasting started off with Harry's Premium Lager beer ($13) followed by some small plates

The crispy Fish Cracklings ($13) served with aioli dip is super addictive I can't stop munching on it

Crab & Potato cakes ($16 for 6pcs). Packed with generous amount of shredded Blue swimmer crab meat and mashed potato served with Sriracha tomato dip. This proves to be a hit among the small plates

Harry's Signature Wings ($13 for 6pcs, $19 for 10pcs), coated with secret recipe spices and served with homemade chili jam. The wings on it's own taste a little tom yum to me thou =D

Jalapeno Steak Sliders ($13 for 3). The Mini burgers with tender beef strips and charred bell peppers, served with Jalapeno cheese sauce. Surprisingly, it doesn't have the cheesy taste at all.

By now, we were being served with Harry's Signature drink, Dirty Harry ($16). Concoction of Vodka, brown sugar and lychee liqueur with a dash of zing from freshly cut lime wedges, served with a sweet canned lychee. Super delish and the brown sugar adds a hint of crunchiness to the drink. Since Sam doesn't drink, I can't be more glad to help her finish up her's.

Up next, the big plates (main dish).

Chicken Masala $23, served with charcoal bread. Ain't a fan of Indian food served outside since my Indian friend's mum is a superb cook, but the Chicken Masala served at Harry's tasted as good as home-cooked dish. Charcoal bread served at the side is also soft & fluffy. Definitely a dish I would order on my next visit

Crabmeat Spaghettini ($23). It is supposed to be spicy but I couldn't taste a single hint of spiciness. Also, it was way too watery to even taste the tomato nor the crab flavor

After the main dish comes dessert. Toffee Apple Crisp Tart ($14), with thinly sliced apple on crust pastry, drizzled with salted caramel sauce and topped with vanilla ice cream. The dessert doesn't impress me as the pastry is rather tough. Texture of ice cream feels & taste more like clotted cream

Last but not least, dessert was paired with a sparkling Cinzano Prosecco ($13.50) wine to end the dinner on a sweet note.

Wefie again =) Don't say I bo jio ok! If you want to be invited to awesome food tasting, join OpenRice now!

Fooling around with the props while waiting for group picture to be taken. This prop is just so me!

Hi fellow foodies, i was fortunate to be invited for a food tasting by OpenRice Singapore @ the newly revamp Harry's Clarke Quay.

Invitation was for dinner with Alcoholic drinks served to pair with their delicious food sampling of their new menu, which consist of "Small Plates" (Appetizers), "Platters" (Entrée), "Big Plates" (Mains) and dessert.

Harry's Clarke Quay consist of both indoor and outdoor dinning concept. Upon arrival at the main entrance i was greeted with the outdoor sitting area. Looks like any other outdoor pub nothing to shout about. But once inside i was greeted with a long bar and behind are rolls and shelves of various bottles of liqueurs & liquors. With clever play of lighting, it immediately put me into the Mood. (Chill Mood) hehe.

The interior consist of mainly dark oak wood, with warm lighting. Sort of like some old British Pub but with a modern twist.

Anyway let's fast forward to the Highlights of the evening. Food Tasting! The revamp food menu is Modern European with Asian Twist and for tonight's food tasting, we will be tasting some of their more popular dishes.

First we were served samples of their popular "Small Plates" which consist of Harry's Signature Wings, Fish Cracklings and Crab & Potato Cakes.

Fish Cracklings

The crispy Fish Cracklings (Eel skins) served with their very own house spice mixed aioli which taste of garlic, olive oil and mayonaise. I could just eat it on it's own all day watching my favourite Korean Dramas.

Harry's Signature Wings

Next came their signature crispy chicken wings which was serve hot. I like the hint of spicyness on their marinates but Harry's brought it up one notch with their signature home made "Chilli Jam". Shiok is the word coming out of my mouth when i tasted the wings dipped in that sauce. You have been warn, its hot and spicy.

Crab & Potato Cakes

Lastly the Crab & Potato Cakes sampler from their small plate items. Its like your version of Begedil (Deep Fried Potato), only more high class lah. Because it has lots of finely shredded crab meat inside the fillings. It has a light crunch, hot and served with Sriracha tomato dip. Yummy!By then I'm starting to perspire with all that chilli jam and spicy sriracha dips and someone answered my prayers. HaHa. Ice Cold Beer!

Harry's Premium Lager
This is Harry's very own signature house brewed premium beer. It is smooth with light fruity taste and definately paired very well with the "Small Plates".

Next up is the "Platter" (Entrée)

Jalapeno Steak Sliders

We were only serve one sampler from the Platter Menu and it's one of Harry's more popular item in the entrée. The steak in the 3 sliders were juicy but i would wish that my buns are more toasted and more generous with the creamy Jalapeno cheese. Overall it was a good dish, value for $$$ and also paired very well with Harry's Premium Lager.

Next Stop "Big Plates" (Mains)
We were presented with 2 main courses. "Crabmeat Spaghettini" and "Chicken Masala".

Crabmeat Spaghettini
Unfortunately it was one of my least favourite food served. The pasta tasted rather bland for me and also the fine shredded crabmeat is just too fine to really taste it. I would have prefer the sauce to be more punchy with more tomato puree and chunks of luscious crab meat instead. Btw the menu says it is toasted with pine nuts and fresh cut chilli, but I don't remember tasting any of it.

Chicken Masala
Ahhh.... a much better choice compare to the Crabmeat Spaghettini. It comes with toasted charcoal bread to dung into the gravy and my oh my, the richness and flavourful spiced gravy just soak up the bread. Couple with the chunks of tender chicken meat, and i must say it was definately the winner. Slurp Slurp.

Harry's ClarkQuay knew that all that rich food and spices will take a toll on our taste buds and presented us with a cocktail call "Dirty Harry" to pair with the 2 mains.

It is one of their signature cocktail of vodka and brown sugar with lychee liqueur and slice of lime. A very nice cocktail good for sipping on a lazy hot afternoon at some beach holiday resort. Do take note it is a rather strong cocktail. But i prefer if i have a choice to mixed it with fresh lime juice to give it some kick. Something like Calamansi with vodka. hehe.

After the Big Plates went by, I was starting to feel alittle kick coming from the alcohol effects. I was going into full chillout mood. HaHa.

The last food tasting item for the night. Dessert time!

Toffee Apple Crisp Tart
It contains thin slices of apple on a crisp flatbread crust with caramel and served with vanilla ice cream. It was also another one of my least favourite item served. Nothing to shout about for me. The crust was hard probably because of the caramel sauce soaked into it for some time and the vanilla ice cream taste soso. Overall it was quite a boring dessert for me.

Harry's Clarke Quay served us each a glass of fruity Moscato to pair with the dessert. Somehow didn't work for me. It's like Sweet Vs Sweet equals overly sweet ending for me.

There you have it. My "in your face" food tasting review of Harry's ClarkQuay and their new revamp food Menu.

In conclusion, Harry's new revamp menu sure looks interesting and most of their items are priced in the mid range between $13 to $23. Recommended ones in my opinion are the "Small Plates", "Chicken Masala", Jalapeno Steak Sliders (Pls give me my cheese) more creamy Cheese sauce plssss and Harry's Premium Lager to wash them all down.

Thank You Harry's for the food and hospitality, and Thank You OpenRice Singapore for organising it. Cheers. Hic.. Ops.. excuse moi.

It was a great honour to be part of this Food Tasting organized by OpenRice and definitely I had a great night with the different food tasters, of course with some of the familiar faces from the previous food tasting sessions! Harry's Clarke Quay outlet, which is directly opposite the prominent location of Harry's Riverside Point introduced a new concept, with over 50 new dishes. And that very night, we managed to tried out 8 dishes as well as 3 different beverages as part of the tasting.

We started off the night with a mug of Harry's Signature Premium Lager (3.5/5) as well as the Fish Cracklings (3.8/5). I personally thought that the Fish Cracklings was the best Small Plate that we tried that night. Fish Cracklings have the same concept as Fish Skin or rather Salmon Skin that we usually get at Dim Sum and Japanese Food Joints. But, this Fish Crackling stands out, with the portion being reasonable for the price, as well as the dip which made the dish one that people will not forget.

Fish Cracklings

Next up, we tried the Harry's Signature Wings (3.0/5), served with a sambal chilli sauce that was claimed to be very popular in Harry's. Heard from the PR of Harry's that they once removed the chilli dip from the menu last year and the customers were quite upset about it and requested it to be back on the menu. Personally find that the wings are very normal, definitely comparable with the ones served at coffeeshop. Let alone comparing it with the ones at IKEA. As for the chilli dip, I thought that it wasn't really that good either.

Harry's Signature Wings

We continued with the last small plate of the night, Crab & Potato Cakes (3.2/5). This dish is also very normal, the amount of crab is definitely justifiable, but personally cannot savour the taste of the potato, thus I would call this dish a Crab Cake instead of Crab & Potato Cake. My opinion will be to add more potato bites, as well as some special ingredients such as chestnut or something crunchy so that the dish will be able to stand out better. Especially for the price of $19/6pcs, customers will definitely be looking forward to something much better. It was also served with a chilli dip, and I thought that this one tasted like the garlic chilli served at McDonald's. Anyways, personally will prefer this chilli dip over the sambal one.

Crab & Potato Cakes

Next up we had the platter of the night - Jalapeno Steak Sliders (3.7/5). Personally loved the way the toothpicks are designed and the serving size of the sliders is also just nice. Acccompanied with capiscums and sauce, the steak slides were of a great combination. Though, I thought that the Steak could be much better, it was too stiff. Otherwise I thought this sliders were good.

Jalapeno Steak Sliders

For the Big Plates that will be featured in the next few pictures, we were advised to accompany them with a cup of Dirty Harry (3.9/5). Dirty Harry is a verson of lychee liquor with apple slices. It tasted really refreshing, with especially with the Chicken Masala.

Chicken Masala (4.2/5)! I thought that this was the best Big Plate amongst the two that we tasted. The charcoal bread was tard normal, same goes for the curry. But, the chicken on the other hand was surprisingly good. It was soft and well cooked, and I can have a whole bowl to myself. Suggestion would be to change the charcoal bread to something that has a more flavourful kick so that it can go well with the curry.

Our last main for the day - Crabmeat Spaghettini (2.5/5). We were all looking forward to this dish and we had high expectation, especially for the spaghettini. But it turned out to be one of the worst dish we tried tonight. The amount of crabmeat is justifiable, but the size of the crabmeats is too small and as for the spaghettini, it was much overcooked and the combination of the crabmeat pieces and speghettini doesn't gives its customer a instant WOW, but rather a turn off. Personally find that this dish have lots of room for improvement, especially for a price of $23. Nonetheless, the portion is really huge.

Crabmeat Spaghettini

Personally was expecting to try out the Baked Chocolate Cake, but it ended up with this Toffee Apple Crisp Tart (2.1/5). Expect to receive something much better than this for a price of $14. The portion is too small and there is nothing special about this dish. Although I agree that the toffee hint was there, but the tart isn't crispy at all and it was too tough! As for the scoop of ice cream, there isn't any thing special about it, and it was just plain vanilla ice cream. Suggestion will be to remove this dish from the menu.

Toffee Apple Crisp Tart

All comments and suggestions made were based solely on my opinion, which I have acquired on the day of the Food Tasting. Other than the food, I thought that the ambience of the place needs to improve as well. The corner seats were too dark, there were just two lights shining down and seems like there are water leakages everywhere. Also, staff needs to be more alert of the surrounding and customers need. We have to prompt the staff before ice water was served. Its the basic to serve ice water before the meal and also, we have to prompt the staff to change our plates, although its very obvious that our plates needed to be change. Such meiticulous things will make the restaurant service stands out. All in all, I thought that Harry's Clarke Quay will be a good place to relax and have a cup of wine or two. But not for its mains. Its too unworthy for the quality of food and service.

Singapore’s most well established dining and bar chain, Harry’s, has launched a brand new menu. At its latest outlet in Clarke Quay, the interior design takes inspiration from Harry’s travels and adventures around the world. Harry’s is also a great place for live sports viewing while enjoying the night.

The pretty interior

Starting off with Fish Cracking, the fish skin are tossed with spices and accompanied with garlic mayonnaise to make it more savoury with the aromatic touch.

Made with Eel skin, these cracklings are crispy and doesn’t go soft even after we left it for 1 hour.

Harry's Signature Wings

Harry’s Signature Wings, our hot favourite. With Harry’s own homemade chilli jam, the wings are much more savoury. The homemade chilli jam taste like the chilli sauce you get when you order nasi lemak, but the difference is that this chilli jam is much more spicier. Despite having a low tolerance for spicy food, this chilli jam just makes me crave for more.

Crab and Potato cake

Next up is the Crab and Potato cakes. This dish has a strong hint of lemon grass. So people who has a liking for lemon grass will definitely love this dish. Together with their sweet chilli sauce, it is definitely delicious

Jalapeno Steak sliders

This Jalapeno Sliders are small bite sized burgers. The meat and seasonings are tasty, but just not to my liking as the pepper doesn't go well with the meat inside.

Dirty Harry. Vodka with lime and lychee mixed with brown sugar, to give it the fruity taste. It is indeed refreshing and goes well with the platters.

No, those look like charcoal but they're not. This dish is Chicken Masala, a pot of curry chicken accompanied with bread that looks like charcoal.

Toffee Apple Crisp

Toffee Apple Crumble. the crumble are abit hard to bite, with apple slices spreaded across the base. Topped with Vanilla ice cream, it is a perfect dessert to end off your meal.

Opening its door since May 2015, Harry's has did a revamp not only in their menu but had also strengthened its market presence with well decorated environment, having new themes for their branches.

For instance, the theme of Harry's in this branch was purely on "Travel".

Ambiance was very different from the usual bar I have gone to even though the place by default has given us a relaxing feel.

There was another section in Harry with sofa chairs and travel decorations. Its like travelling on a time machine into another world.

With traveling theme, there was one portion on the wall with maps and different timing on a few countries.

Having things like this will make patrons like me feel nostalgic.

Since Harry's is reputable for its Western Bar, Pub image, there are no surprise to see so many bottles of alcohols on the elegant shelving.

To know more about them, take a good look at the Harry's beverage menu.

Starting of with the small plates, pairing with Harry's Signature Premium Lager was simply enjoyable to wind down oneself after a long day of work under such cool environment.

Harry's Premium Lager

And this coaster just came right in the time with words saying "I used to think drinking was bad for me...so I gave up thinking." At that instance, I cant agree more on that.

Fish Crackling was a perfect kick off to the wonderful evening giving a good sense of crispy bites. Made from Eel Fish and lavished with spring onions as well as their in house spice mix. Flavour of this crackling just wouldn't run out if you dip them Aioli which bring such simple side plate to another level with creamy mayo and garlic taste.

Great for a start and perfect for a pint! Their Signature Wings are something you should not be missing when you enter Harry's. These wings were not firey hot despite of the chilli padi that was demonstrated. Dressed in their secret spice and deep fried into its fragrant condition, they were part of the ultimate treat in the night. For those who like extra dose of spicy kick, you may enjoy them with their homemade chilli Jam.

Harry's Signature Wings - $13 (6 pcs), $19 (10Pcs)

A wonder mixture of blue swimmer crab meat with potatoes can never go wrong.Deep fried and giving a light crunch, to enjoy it at the fullest, dip them into the Sriracha Tomato Dip.

Crab & Potato Cakes - $19 (6 Pcs)

The miniatures burgers caught us off guard, it was too cute to be eaten. The mini buns were both toasted with juiciest steak, charred bell peppers and jalapeno cheese sauce sandwiched in between. They were served in trio with a acceptable spicy level.

Jalapeno Steak Sliders

It's so hard to skip having alcohol in Harry's afterall, they have given a perception that they did it best in serving alcholic beverages. Their signature cocktail of vodka, Dirty Harry, was served with brown sugar, lychee liqueur and a small wedge of lime, a perfect refreshing treat before going into the Big Plates.

Enjoy one of the popular flavourful indian dish, chicken Masala with toasted charcoal bread under Harry's Big Plates in the menu. Chicken Masala was thick but it didn't get us bored by having the dish alone, in fact it was rich in spice and the charcoal bread stood in well to soak up the dish's essence.

The chicken were plump and tender. Just a look!

Wanna get more of blueswimmer crabmeat? Try out their spaghettini with freshly handpicked crabmeat, toasted pine nuts, fresh cut chillis all in the tangy tomato sauce topped with yummy rockets.

Crabmeat Spaghettini

Washing down all the food, we have a perfect ending to the session with a glass of fruity Moscato together with the dessert.

I have never expected a pub serving such indulging dessert. This crisp tart were made up of thinly sliced apples on crust pastry with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. The both sweet and saltish caramel sauce had given the experience to another stage.

Toffee Apple Crisp Tart

The new tasting menu had given a surprise treat and change the perception of Harry's in me. I guess now Harry's have given additional choices to patrons not by just their alcoholic beverages but also the interesting bites.

Thanks OpenRice for the invitation and Harry's Bar Team for the hospitality.

Attended my first food tasting hosted by OpenRice and Harry's last Thursday. Thanks for the invite, OpenRice! Was really excited for I have not dined or drink at Harry's before, was really looking forward to the food and drinks and on the whole, it did not disappoint!

The Clarke Quay travel-themed outlet with a warm and cozy interior decor is the latest addition to the Harry's family. Located alongside various bars and restaurants, and near to the fountain, the place is relatively easy to find, given that I do not visit Clarke Quay often. The bar and dining establishment offers quality drinks and delectable modern european cuisine. On the table during the food tasting session are a selection of Harry's new Menu, consisting of Small Plates, Platters, Big Plates, Desserts and of course the drinks!

Fish Cracklings

First up is the crispy, crackling (true to it's name) and very addictive Fish Cracklings ($13) which I couldn't resist! Think eel fish skin and garlic mayonaise dip, and there you have the winning formula! These crispy darlings are even good on its own without the aioli dip.

Harry's Signature Wings

Harry's Signature Wings ($13 for 6pcs/$19 for 10pcs) is another personal favourite. Already good on its own with Harry's secret spice, it is all the more alluring with the homemade chilli jam. Not to worry for those who can't take spicy food, it is not going to put your ears on fire, skip the chilli jam if you are worried. With or without the chilli dip, it is finger licking good!

Crab & Potato Cakes

The Crab & Potato Cakes ($19 for 6pcs) will definitely go well with crab lovers! The blue swimmer crab and potato cakes have a very strong crab taste with a light tinge of lemongrass. Didn't really like this as I felt the crab taste was too over. So, I had it dipped in lots and lots of the Sriracha Tomato Dip in an attempt to cover the crabby taste. Apparently it didn't really work, true quality ingredients used indeed! That explains the higher price tag.

Harry's Premium Lager

The above three small bites or Small Plates as it is called, are great finger food especially for those who just want something light to go with their beer! They are perfect with a pint of Harry's Premium Lager ($13). For someone like me who don't usually drink, I find this refreshing and not too strong. I will definitely order this if I were to dine at Harry's!

Jalapeno Steak Sliders

Close up of the Jalapeno Steak Sliders

Grilled beef sliders with bell peppers and jalapeno cheese sauce, the Jalapeno Steak Sliders ($13) has a tinge of little and light spiciness. A great bite size platter to share. These mini burgers looked good but tasted quite ordinary. Didn't impress.

The Dirty Harry ($16) is served next, to pair up with the Big Plates which are the mains. A signature cocktail of vodka, brown sugar and lychee liqueur, it is refreshing and zesty. But I didn't finish the glass, as I find the alcohol content slightly high. Not a drinker, so vodka is considered quite strong for me. Happy enough to manage a few sips!

The Chicken Masala ($23) is a surprise crowd pleaser. Didn't expect much from this but it turned out that this became my favourite main dish for the night. Generous chunks of soft and tender flavourful chicken with an aromatic gravy that was not too overly strongly spiced, it was a delight savouring this with the toasted Charcoal bread. A must order!

Crabmeat Spaghettini

Another Big Plate served is the Crabmeat Spaghettini ($23). A tomato sauced based spaghettini cooked with fresh crabmeat and toasted pinenuts. Simple and perfect comfort food for the tomato pasta lover. I personally do not fancy tomato based spaghetti, (I'm more of the al dente aglio olio type of person instead), so this dish did not appeal that much to me.

Toffee Apple Crisp Tart

There is nothing best than to end a meal with a sweet dessert. The Toffee Apple Crisp Tart ($14) is a sweet thin-crust dessert with thin apple slices and spread with salted caramel, with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Quite a nice dessert, except that the tart itself was not crisp, it's actually soft on the contrary. It's not overly sweet too, you must have every bite together with the ice cream, and you get the right taste! Love how the ice cream complements the dessert itself!

A glass of fruity sweet Moscato ($13.50) is the perfect drink to go with desserts! The fruity dessert wine is sweet, refreshing yet subtle, which concluded our delicious dinner on a sweet note!

If you are thinking of great drinks and food for a good chillout gathering or to unwind after a stressful work day, do drop by at Harry's latest outlet at Clarke Quay! Try it and you will know!

Thank you OpenRice for inviting me to this food tasting event at the new outlet of Harry's, situated at the bustling vicinity of Clarke Quay, and checking out their revamped menu.

Renovated with travel theme, this place makes you feel the warmth of a home once you enter it. They have also transformed a corner into a cozy room which is ideal for group get-together to watch your favourite sport matches.

Good news to all fanatics. No more worries when hunger strikes halfway through the match, Harry's now serves delectable stomach filling dishes under their new menu.

"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer"

For this food tasting, we were treated to 10 items from their new menu which consists of 3 small plates, 1 platter, 2 big plates, 1 dessert and 3 alcoholic drinks.

Small Plates

Fish Cracklings (S$13)
The eel fish skin is so thin and crispy that it really goes "crackling" on every bite. Served with aioli (garlic mayo) for those who doesn't like it plain. As for me, I prefer to eat it on its own as the spice mix that is sprinkled on it already gives enough flavour to this.

Fish Cracklings

Harry's Signature Wings (S$13 for 6pcs, S$19 for 10pcs)
Crispy wings dressed in a secret spice, is considered spicy enough on its own for those who can't take spicy stuff like me. Go with their popular special formulated chilli jam that taste like sambal chilli to level up the spiciness of the wings.

Harry's Signature Wings

Crab & Potato Cakes (S$19 for 6pcs)
Shredded blue swimmer crabmeat mixed with mashed potato, this really have the strong "crabby" taste. Though its fried till golden brown, it doesn't feel oily at all. Have it with the Sriracha tomato dip to enhance the flavour.

Crab & Potato Cakes

Harry's Premium Lager (S$13)
Perfect pair with small plates. Being not a beer fan, I didn't ask for a glass as I do not want it to go to waste. Well, I guess I have missed something good.

Harry's Premium Lager

Platters

Jalapeño Steak Sliders (S$13)
Semi tender grilled steak topped with charred bell peppers and jalapeño cheese sauce. Bell peppers give these bite-sized burgers a tinge of heat yet not too spicy. A little disappointing as this taste quite normal with no surprise factors.

Jalapeño Steak Sliders

Big Plates

Chicken Masala (S$23)
Was quite surprised to find this here as I was in the impression that only western-styled dishes are served here. Tender chicken chunks in rich spiced gravy served with toasted charcoal bread, this is indeed flavourful. Rather amazed by the bread as it really looks like blocks of charcoal.

Crabmeat Spaghettini (S$23)
This tomato based spaghetti may taste a little monotonous for some but I find it perfectly complements the fresh crabmeat. The simplicity of the tomato sauce enables you to taste the freshness of the handpicked crabmeat which I was lucky enough to have eaten some crabmeat chunks. A not so fanciful dish that brings out the best flavour of the ingredients.

Crabmeat Spaghettini

Dirty Harry (S$16)
Enjoy a glass of their signature cocktail of vodka built with brown sugar and lychee liqueur with the big plates. Fruity taste with very high liquor content (at least its high for me), a pity I have to control my intake as I can't hold my liquor well.

Desserts

Toffee Apple Crisp Tart (S$14)
Thin sliced apples on a pastry crust drizzled with salted caramel and served with vanilla ice cream. One of my dining partner commented that its too sweet but I find the sweetness acceptable. The letdown of this is the crust which is not crispy making it a little difficult to cut. Sweet dessert with a tinge of saltiness makes this different from the rest.

Toffee Apple Crisp Tart

Moscato (S$13.50)
Fruity dessert wine with 12% alcohol. Sweet and refreshing, definitely suitable for people who can't take alcoholic drinks. You can bottoms up this without having to worry of getting drunk.

From time to time, we heard about Harry's. It has grown become a well established bar and dining place for beers, extensive selection of wines and stylish cocktails.

Recently Harry's has opened a New Outlet at Clarke Quay on 1st May 2015 and more awesome with the launch of new revamp Food Menu !.

Proudly to announce that now Harry's not only a place for drinking but also offering 50 over International selection of Food, prepared by their culinary teams.

Blog Review : http://cennds.blogspot.com/2015/05/food-review-new-revamp-menu-harrys-bar.html

Food Menu is divided into different section from finger foods to desserts.

Let's Start with Beer And Small Plates

Harry's Premium Lager ( HPL )

Since Harry's is known as a well established bar, we shouldn't left out with their Signature Beer of Draught. Cheers with HPL ! ($13) It is not as gassy as other beers and lesser bitter

Fish Cracklings

Crunchy Crunchy !! Crackling of eel fish at the price of $13 per serving, tossed with their own spices mix and served with aioli, savory garlic mayonnaise.
The best part is no fishy or unfavorable smell founded.

Crab and Potato Cakes

It is not a cakes of dessert but it is a blue swimmer crab and potato cakes with a light crunch, served with a delightful home blended tomato dip. Texture is soft enough and could be your choice of an easy and convenient fingers food at $19 for 6 pcs

Harry's Signature Wings

Harry's Small Plates Signature of crispy wings, dressed in a secret spice and served with a sauce that tasted like a sambal belacan but it was not exactly a sambal belacan.
In fact it is Harry' unique homemade chili jam which tends o be more spicy.
All time favorites at the price of $13 for 6 pcs, $19 for 10 pcs

Platters for Sharing

Japaleno Steak Sliders

A little sharing with friends and families ($13).
A Grilled steak that cut into a small slice of beef for a juicy slider burger with a charred bell peppers and jalaperio cheese sauce which you give you the heat of the burger instead of spicy

Big Plates and Signature Cocktail

Like the structured Menu and the way they serve the Menu Tasting.
At different type of food section, different drink is served to suit for the every taste.

Dirty Harry

Enjoy a refreshing glass of Signature Cocktails of vodka built with brown sugar and lychee liqueur for a flavored fruits and desire touch of lime wedges ($16).
One of my favorite drinks at the night.

Chicken Masala

If you visit an Indian food, masala would be always founded in their menu.
It is a combination of spice blended in Indian Term.
Nonetheless, it is not a curry but a spiced gravy for the grilled smokey chicken that cook together with their own marinated sauce. ($23)
The toasted Charcoal bread is great to soak at the flavourful and unique pot of Chicken Masala.

Crabmeat Spaghettini

Tossed Spaghettini with fresh handpicked crab meat in tomato sauce, pine nuts and fresh chili cuts. Tough it is warned with a chili sign, but the spiciness is really not much. The spaghettini was not savory enough and too watery. ( $23 )

Come to End of Dessert

Toffee Apple Crisp Tart

Perfect treats for sweet craving with glass of Fruity Moscato ($13.50). A lovely crush pastry topped with thin sliced apple, spread with a mouth watering salted caramel and vanilla ice cream for extra satisfaction ($14).

I was invited by Reka from Openrice to a food tasting session at Harry's newest outlet at Clarke Quay. We will be sampling their newly revamped food menu that was introduced about a month ago. Brought a friend along (cos I don't drink) to also sample their alcoholic beverage.

The Bar has both indoor and outdoor sitting, same as every bar found in the area.

The indoor dining area has a British pub style decor, the dark wood furnishing and fixtures exudes a warm and cozy vibe. Great place for friends to catch up over a game of football with beers.

Our table, set with a simple bucket of cutlery, paper napkins and plates for sharing food.

Everyone at the food tasting gets an Openrice 'door gift' set containing the tasting menu, stationary and a Openrice fan.

Our tasting menu for the night...

First up, we had a trio of 'Small Plates' appetizer dishes paired with Harry's Premium Lager beer $13++, Harry's signature brew.

The crispy Fish Cracklings $13++ served with aioli dip was addictive to eat. While the Harry's Signature Wings ($13++ for 6pcs, $19++ for 10pcs), coated with secret recipe spices and served with homemade chili jam, was fingers licking good. The star of the 'Small plates' had to be the Crab & Potato cakes ($16++ for 6pcs). Packed with generous amount of shredded Blue swimmer crab meat and mashed potato served with Sriracha tomato dip, it was moist and oozing with crabby sweetness...thumbs up.

Next up, we had one dish from the 'Platters' menu, Jalapeno Steak Sliders $13++ for 3. The Mini burgers with tender beef strips and charred bell peppers, served with Jalapeno cheese sauce, were a crowd's favorite.

All of the above were best washed down with a pint of Harry's Premium Lager, which was well received by fellow food tasters. Many would have seconds but, we're being served with another Harry's signature, Dirty Harry $16++, to go with the 'Big Plates' a.k.a. Main courses.

A concoction of Vodka, brown sugar and lychee liqueur with a dash of zing from freshly cut lime wedges, served with a sweet canned lychee. As I don't drink liquor, my friend downed both glasses of cocktail and still wanted more...so I guess it was delish!

For main courses, we had Chicken Masala $23++ and Crabmeat Spaghettini $23++. The pasta tasted pretty standard though, the crab meat flavor didn't really come through nicely. However, the Chicken Masala dish was surprisingly good. The excellent mix of Indian spices and tender chicken chunks, well infused with spice aroma, had us craving for more. We totally enjoyed dunking the fluffy charcoal bread into the aromatic thick gravy...immensely satisfying.

Lastly, dessert was served. Toffee Apple Crisp Tart $14++, with thinly sliced apple on crust pastry, drizzled with salted caramel sauce and topped with vanilla ice cream. I didn't like this dish as much, the pastry was not crispy and rather chewy to bite. The apple slices and vanilla ice cream was kinda ordinary.

Dessert was paired with a sparkling Cinzano Prosecco $13.50++ wine to end the dinner on a sweet note. This Italian bubbly, with enticing aromas of apple and peach, taste refreshing, dry and harmonious, with crisp fruity flavors and a clean finish.

Harry's Bar had wanted to change the perception of it being just a regular bar, a place to go for drinks only. They have put together an interesting menu with good potential. With some slight adjustments to its food recipe, it does possess a formula for success in the F&B industry.

We enjoyed the dinner tremendously. Thank you Openrice and Harry's Bar for hosting us!

I have never been to Harry's before. So it was indeed my honour to be able to join OpenRice for their Food Tasting session @ Harry's Clark Quay. This is their latest outlet where their interior design takes on inspiration from Harry’s travels and adventures around the world.

I have never been to Harry's before. So it was indeed my honour to be able to join OpenRice for their Food Tasting session @ Harry's Clark Quay. This is their latest outlet where their interior design takes on inspiration from Harry’s travels and adventures around the world. We could see maps, postcards and items from all over the world as deco in Harry's, and there is this quote at the storefront which i like quite a lot - "Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer". To me, i feel that food is another thing we buy that could make us richer as well (No just getting richer in terms of calories & fats haha xp)! From food, we get to find out more about the various ethnicity and culture through taste, as well as meeting new friends who bond over food! While travelling, we must definitely try the food in those other countries right? Hence i guess nothing is more suitable than placing this quote in a restaurant/bar where one could bond and chillout with friends over food and drinks =)

We tried a few dishes from a range of their revamped menu (Over 50 new items!) and i must say some of the food are really good! Worth mentioning are their Chicken Masala & Harry's Signature Wings, which are my personal favourite.

Their Chicken Masala was presented in a traditional Indian pot, with a few pieces of charcoal bread by the side. It is amazing how the chicken meat can be so soft, and we found out that it was actually grilled first before cooking in the pot of masala. The flavour of the spice is not too overpowering and goes really well with the bread, or even drink it on its own. Would personally prefer the masala to be a little more spicier though (Good to have this option people who like spicy food). At $23++, this is a great dish to be share amongst friends.

Another of my favourite, the Harry's Signature Wings, was indeed their best finger food to have. The wings are crispy on the outside and the meat are tender on the inside. With their unique Home-made chilli jam this is indeed a must try for all spicy food lovers! Other finger snacks served include Fish Cracklings with a special Garlic Mayo sauce (Personally not a huge fan of fish skins and mayo though), and the Crab & Potato Cakes which are really exquisite with the Sriracha sauce. These finger food goes really well with the Harry's Premium Lager (Not featured), and are good for sharing with your friends over a few glasses of beer!

Next up are the Jalapeno Steak Sliders and Crab Spaghettini. The mini grilled steak burgers are served in 3s, which are easy to bite and gobble down although we heard that we are suppose to savour it slowly in order to taste the tinge of heat of the Jalapeno inside. The Crab Spaghettini was good, although i would personally prefer it to be stronger in flavour. As it is a tomato-base pasta, the tomato flavour could have been stronger. I could taste the fresh crab meat inside as well, although some of us had prefer it to be in larger chunk.

We were served the Dirty Harry - Harry's signature cocktail of vodka with brown sugar, lime wedges and lychee liquer. I personally like this drink a lot, as it has a refreshing and fruity taste, and i could taste the little bits of sugar as well. Dessert was Toffee Apple Crisp Tart with Moscato - A sparkling wine with fruity taste. Dessert was good although the tart was not really crisp though, but it does go well together with the Moscato.

Do visit their new outlet @ClarkeQuay if you are looking for an adventure or some place to chillout with friends after work. Would defnitely love to be back there again to try some of the other dishes as well! =)
