Just looking at the menu made me so excited already, the number of choices available were mind-blowing! and with their concept of Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer menus, this means even more choices for us diners! ;) and it also means better quality of food since only the best seasonal items are used.let's start with the drinks! i ate so much food that day i hope i can remember everything hahaha. i'll try my best alright. anyway, these drinks were really interesting! they're mixologist inspired
let's start with the drinks! i ate so much food that day i hope i can remember everything hahaha. i'll try my best alright. anyway, these drinks were really interesting! they're mixologist inspired drink creations and the two main types to choose from are the beer cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. as you probably know, i don't like beer. i've attempted to try all kinds of fruit beer and i still hate the taste of the beer. but the ones at Platypus kitchen sound so interesting! beer that has REAL fruits inside and not just the syrup just made it kinda tempting, and when Nicholas (the boss) assured me that the taste of the beer was minimal, i gave in and decided to give it a shot. and boy, i was so impressed!!! i ordered the momo lychee ale ($9.90) which is Sol beer flavoured with fresh peach and lychee nectar, garnished with mint sprigs and fresh lychees. just the description was enough to make me drool. and how often do you find drinks with real fruits in it! that's what makes Platypus Kitchen special because they strive to make not only their food, but drinks included, as authentic and natural as possible. this was such a refreshing drink and i could hardly taste the beer at all because of the natural sweetness of the fruit in it
I tried the roasted pumpkin soup ($3.90). the pumpkin and carrots were pureed to the perfect texture with just the right amount of sweetness, and it was so deliciously tasty! i adored it. and even though there were so many other dishes to come, i kept my pumpkin soup with me right to the end of the meal, so that i could sip on it once in awhile ^^
i was so excited for the pastas which Platypus Kitchen is famous for ^^ i just had to try the spicy 'diabolo' crab & prawn ($18.50) which had the 'love it' sign on the menu, and it didnt disappoint! from it's artsy appearance with the little nest atop (i was fascinated to find out it's actually shredded chili that has been fried to a crisp! try it on it's own and you can taste the little tinge of spiciness and it goes beautifully with your pasta when you mix it in), to the aroma the moment the dish lands on your table, to the harmonious combination of flavours exploding in your mouth, this dish was simply wonderful. it's also really interesting how the pastas here have a touch of Asian flavour!
