Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Alba White Truffle season is here!The insane craving that couldn’t go away started after I read ST’s article on it. Many restaurants in Singapore are offering luxurious special menus and so far, I think Otto’s is the best priced. And I may be a little biased here, but I know that I can always count on Otto for a great meal.

The last time I got so excited over an eggy dish was at Bistro Du Vin last year when Chef Marie was in town.
Gosh, this scrambled egg with blue swimmer crab ($19++) is to-die-for. Like, seriously. Texture was incredible, smooth and not overtly creamy, with big chunks of sweet crab meat, and the morsels of aromatic funghi added such a lovely burst of intense flavour to it.
I get hungry just writing, thinking, and looking at it!
I super love the Atlantic cod tagliata with porcini mushroom crust and creamed baby spinach ($40++) as well! The same weighing, shaving and weighing routine for another 2 grams of heaven was done and I had me a huge slab of tender fatty fish that literally melted in my mouth.
Desserts was a nice surprise. The crème brulee looks innocently enough, yes? But looks are deceiving. Underneath the layer of caramelized sugar is scrumptiously silky white truffle-scented custard cream! A little sweet, a little savoury, this weird combination actually works.
