Mussels & Clams mixed pot w/ white wine sauce $18++, mussels and clams are air flown twice weekly to ensure freshness. Choice of 3 cooking style (Aglio Olio, Thai Basil & White wine), the white wine sauce contains bacon bits, onion, garlic & parsley. The broth was rather light and flavorful, I can taste the natural sweetness of the plump and juicy mussels and clams...very delish.

The Garlic bread (focaccia bread) that comes with the mussels pot (choice of bread, fries or mash potato) was soft, fluffy and garlicky...pretty good but I gotta save my stomach for the pasta main course. Tip, dip the bread in the mussel sauce, its yummy.
Pan seared Norwegian salmon pasta w/ Thai basil sauce $13.20++ (choice of spaghetti, linguine, penne or fusilli). The Thai basil sauce is a tomato based sauce with a tang, I suspect tom yum/lemongrass was added in the sauce. Basil leaves were used sparingly so that it will not overpower the taste of the sauce...very palatable indeed. The salmon was cooked just right, tender and juicy...fantastic pairing of protein and carbo!

Ambush impresses me yet again with its high quality food at reasonable prices. Coupled with decent service from staffs, I would gladly return again for more tastes of Europe.

Plaza Singapura is a contemporary shopping mall located along Orchard Road, the restuarant in the mall is pack with people, Q-ing almost all restuarant but surprising Ambush not much people & we'll give it a try...

With 4 of my friend, We placed our orders and the serving was within 20 minutes time... that's fast!!

The Main Dish isn't that great (Forget those Main Dish) but surprising the side dish Mixed Pot (Mussels and Clams) we had was pretty nice, and we thought that the Vin Blanc (white wine) sauce was tasty yet didn't overpower the taste of the seafood...

Mini sausage platter (Grilled mini chicken garlic and chicken cheese sausage with mustard and brown sauce dip) Good for sharing (and with some beer!), the sausages were nicely warm from the grilling and goes very well with the mild mustard...!!

And of cos their Mashed Potatoes, one of the tastiest mashed potatoes that we've ever had~!!

Whenever I return to Ambush for meal, will order their side dish instead of Main dish...

The food is pretty satisfactory for casual...

A spoonful of risotto with french beans, chunks of pancetta (Italian pork belly bacon), mushrooms and parmesan cheese! The flavour of the white truffle oil is definitely quite pronounced.

We also shared a serving of their signature Mussel Pot, soaked in white wine and cooked just right. Mussels are pretty delicate, so it was a delight to find that the mussels here were cooked really skillfully. If you're heading down to Ambush, their Mussel Pot is definitely something you MUST try!

The idea of this platter was simple and carefree, just a drumstick standing. Well-seasoned along the creamy gravy, it was displayed nicely on the plate. Duck appeared tempting, taste even better. A crispy outlay with moistly flesh, the combination was perfect. Price was nothing to complain about, approximately $18.00 for mine. I was actually attracted by the food tasting session at Ambush published on Openrice Page, that’s why I came here to check it out. Overall, It was a satisfying trip.

Headed over to Ambush for Lunch at plaza sing, Had the seafood paella with marinara sauce. Was okay, prices were also pretty reasonable as well. Friends had the spaghetti in basil sauce and pan-fried salmon and it was pretty good, they were generous with the serving of the huge fillet of salmon. Would probably visit again if I am in the vicinity and try out other dishes.

The duck meat was properly roasted and was presented along with wonderful tasting mash potatoes. Neatly made with homemade orange and tomato sauce, the duck confit is perfectly placed on top of fresh, soft mashed potatoes. Though everything was good, the meat could have been a little juicier. Priced at $18.

Remember to go for their lunch special, for just $15 and below, you get to choose a main with soup of the day and a drink. I order the bockwrust sausage with cranberry rice & fries. The rice was very tasty with bits of cranberry to enhance the taste. The sausage was so soft and chewy, together with the huge chunk of fries. This place is definitely worth a visit and I will come back to try their other set lunch.

Let's talk about the Ambush's Paella - white clams, mussels, queen scallop, prawns, sliced bacon & sausage. The presentation already makes me want to eat it immediately! Looks nice and colorful. Ingredients were very fresh and i love adding Tabasco sauce into the paella and it's even more shiok to enjoy!

Sausage Platter usually can't go too wrong and no exception for the one at Ambush.

My friend & I decided to dine at Ambush before our movie starts as they were having a set lunch promotion which consist of a main, a complimentary soup of the day and a choice of drink. The soup of the day was Clam Chowder, which was pretty average. For drinks, I had a regular coffee while my friend chose the hot tea. I ordered the Ambush's Paella and it was delicious!

Have to make reservation early. Otherwise there might e queue when it comes to lunch or dinner time.This is a red wine dish. Only this dish taste very bitter. It is as though it is soaked in herbal wine and feels like you are drinking some tonic soup. The Ambush Paella is a great dish! The tomato base seafood dish is a dish that does not give off a sick feeling.Fan of Squid Ink related food would love this dish.

The Swiss/German wurst section caught my eye, so I picked the Oktoberfest platter as my main course, a Bruschetta appetizer and a mango juice for drink.

The Mango juice $3.50++ was alright, sweet and has a slightly thick texture like those juices you get at Hotel's Buffet breakfast.

The Bruschetta $3.80++ was served on a focaccia bread instead of the usual baguette toast. The bread was soft but a little soggy after being drenched with the tomato salsa sauce. The tomato salsa was very good, tomato was freshly chopped and tossed with a citrusy and slightly spicy dressing...simply refreshing!

After a short wait, my main course arrived. The Oktoberfest platter $17.80++ consists of a portion of German pork knuckle, a Bockwurst, a Smoked bratwurst, fresh greens, mashed potato (I topped up $2 to change to Rosti) served with sauerkraut and sour cream.

This is a plate full of porky goodness. The pork knuckle was quite tender and comes with a crackling skin. The porky sausages were also very plump and juicy. They are a little bit salty which is normal and should be eaten with the Rosti. The Rosti's golden brown surface was crispy and the potato strands underneath was soft and fragrant, extremely delish. This dish would have been 100 marks if the sauerkraut serving weren't so tiny.

I managed to save some space for dessert and ordered a Brownie with vanilla ice cream & whipped cream $6.80++.

The brownie was too sweet, the ice cream and whipped cream pairing could not effectively balance out the overpowering sweetness from the brownie. I couldn't finish this dish.

Overall dining experience here was good, service was decent and prompt, food quality was above my expectation and prices were reasonable. I would return to try the full size German pork knuckle.

My friend bought a groupon deal earlier on for ambush and we went there to dine in together. First time trying ambush and it is located at the new branch of plaza sing. Norwigian salmon fillet . Very innovative dish as they used thai basil sauce, not the usual tomato based sauce. And it taste good! not too rich or too plain. Also, the pan seared salmon fillet is very well done, no fishy smell at all. The usual price of this dish is SGD$13.20++ I only paid around $10 due to the groupon deal

Oktoberfest Platter - Big salty crunchy bratwurst with creamy mash potato topped with mellow tasting brown sauce.
The pork isn’t as fantastic as I thought.
But the Sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) was appetizing and goes perfectly with the fatty meats.

Rosti - I know this as rosti but they called it the german potato pancake, crispy shredded potato fried till golden brown , served with fluffy sour cream is the perfect match!
