It's my second time here with my friendsI like their food this time i had pork knuckle terrine, It was accompanied by another little potion of braised pig tail, with the meat & cartilage slowly cooked then finely chopped into almost a rillette texture, served as a crisp pan fried dish. This was an excellent dishFor dessert i had the sticky date pudding with grand marnier ice cream. The pudding was surprisingly light; I was expecting & would have preferred something a bit more decadently carame

Even though we’ve been eating so much and in so many places, one of our favourite restaurants is still EmberWe’ve started to make it somewhat of a tradition to go there on our wedding anniversarydozen deep fried oysters -come with an equal number of dipping saucesJapanese mayonnaise, wasabi mayonnaise, tomato chutney, lemongrass and sweet chilli, soy and sesame, and peanut This is one of our favourite dishes, and it didn’t disappoint. The oysters were breaded and deep fried, with an amazing cris

I made a reservation for 10 at Ember for a friend's birthday. It's rather unique as they required my credit card confirmation because the restaurant is not very big, if there was no show, they may not be able to fill up the spaces for the night. Thus, I will be charged $65 per pax for no show. But of course, we really wanted to dine there so I went ahead with their request. We had a couple of appetizers and 2 of them were scallops and foie gras with apple. The foie gras was fantastic! I really l

It’s been so long since I first wanted to try Ember that I had almost forgotten about it! When the occasion presented itself, we decided to head down the narrow lanes of Chinatown to Keong Saik Road and give this restaurant, located on the ground floor of the boutique hotel Hotel 1929, a shot.We were there to try their set lunch, priced at $38++ for a 3-course lunch plus coffee, tea, or a “welcome drink” which would be a specially concocted fizzy drink of sorts.It took quite some time for our co

My much awaited lunch date with Ember was finally fufilled. Outside Hotel 1929 lies the notorious red-light district of Keong Saik Road; inside, the mood is more serene as the diners persue the electic mod- Euro menu from the talented Sebastian Ng. The food is consistently good and imaginative. Like the food, the decor is neither fussy nor pretentious. The 3 course set lunch menu is popular with the business executives. There are several options for the appetitizers and mains. There are specials

Went back to Ember for another fanta-bulous meal! I pretty much knew what I wanted so ordering was a breeze. Had the crispy tofu with foie gras-mirin sauce and white truffle oil ($16++) again and I’m happy to report that it’s still as uberly delicious as before. Ember should just bottle up that power sauce and make millions from it hah. I’ll be the first in line to buy me some.A toss-up between the chilean seabass and the black miso cod ($32++), and the latter won just marginally cuz I wanted t

I didn’t pay attention to the rustic sun-dried tomato bread since the appetisers were served almost immediately after that, heh.The pan roasted scallops with spiced pumpkin puree and shellfish vinaigrette($20++) put a big BIG smile on my face. I love scallops and pumpkin so this is a pretty much a dream dish! The fresh and nicely seared scallops tasted so good with a smear of sweet pumpkin puree. Lovely plating too =)If I thought that the scallops were good, the crispy tofu with foie gras-mirin
