Tonight I am invited to one of FFT Social Dinning Experiences which is about We Are The Stories We Tell Ourselves. There are 3 tables of people who come from different walks of life. The menu is set according to answers which most has answered.
While waiting for others to arrive, we are served iced lemon tea which is not too sweet.
Soup "If your life in Singapore was a colour, what would it be and why?"
Yellow/ Hope
roasted pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, fried shallots, red chilli
The soup is quite thick and the sliced chilli gives an extra texture to the soup.
Starter"What always makes a place feel more like home to you?"
Diversity Embraced
salted egg curry leaf prawn, beef rendang, grilled tandoori spiced chicken with steamed mantou
The simple mantou is quite soft and fluffy. Stuffed with the heavily flavoured meats, it balanced out the taste.
Main"Sum up Singapore's future in just one word."
Challenging
The classic 2 veg + 1 meat economic rice re-imagined
For the main course, it is served in a box as what is usually packed for takeaway at a food stall. Quite creative idea.
Garlic butter risotto, sautéed spring vegetables, chai spiced brulee salmon, sous vide egg, artisanal soy sauce It is quite a surprise to find this in the takeaway box. The risotto is well cooked and enhanced with mashed egg yolk on top. The salmon has an interesting salty crust.
I finished the meal with a cup of Latte and
banana coconut tartlet for dessert.
We are treated to a performance by singer song-writer Crystal Goh. She also shared her life story with us, the ups and downs.
With the decks of cards on the table, we share our stories to other diners to show how one feels about Singapore.Overall it is quite an interesting dining experience. This place is quite an hidden gem.
