Housed in a beautifully restored, two-storey, black-and-white colonial-style bungalow at Rochester Park, Krish’s food revolves around ‘South Asia influenced European cuisine’, or more specifically, Indian-accented modern European food. Exotic, isn’t it?I always do my homework before patronising a restaurant so that I know what’s good and what not to order.

I always do my homework before patronising a restaurant so that I know what’s good and what not to order. The spiced carrot ravioli ($16++) has been raved by many online so I wanted a taste of it too! 4 stuffed pasta parcels with a scattering of pomegranate seeds in a sinful ginger-brown butter emulsion that’s surprisingly light and sweet. Very lovely indeed! Now, if only there’s more filling in each pasta…
Instead of risotto, Krish pairs seared U.S. diver scallops ($45++) with truffled lentils and parsley yoghurt. While the scallops were salty and just a tad overcooked, the lentils were wonderful! Soft, almost mushy texture and the flavour of truffles was unmistakably bold. Portion was small enough to be a starter though.
Desserts are not as innovative as the starters and mains. While the presentation of the blackcurrant parfait ($14++) reminds me of the version from 2am: dessert bar, Krish’s rendition is accompanied with a scoop of cardamom-coconut ice cream (I could only make out the taste of the latter) and chocolate sable.
