I dropped by Platypus Kitchen after seeing many positive reviews online about it. For starter, i wanted the 'Roasted Pumpkin Soup' as i simply adore pumpkin, but i was disappointed when i was told it was not available that day. Nevertheless, i took the waitress recommendation to try their 'Mushroom Soup' instead. The soup is really fragrant and substantial with real mushroom puree, definitely homemade and not from Campbell soup can. It is a pity there is no garlic bread with it, otherwise, it wi

 For main course, i had the 'Pressed Pork Belly' that comes with braised apples, garden vegetables, honey and clove apple glaze. The sauce was separately served, so one can choose to taste the original flavour of the pork before adding the sauce. Flavourwise, the pork itself has only a salty, porky taste. It was definitely better with the sauce added, but i felt that the sauce was too sweet, though it might be my own tastebud as i like salty rather than sweet food for my main meals.

 One thing i dislike about this dish is that the pork is presented in a whole slab with bones intact at the bottom. It was really hard to cut through the meat and the tough bones below worsen the situation. This also makes chewing the huge chunk of meat a tough job. I think it will be real good if they help us slice or cut it into smaller cubes.

Overall, i can feel their passion towards their

food and i will be back to try their other dishes.

Nothing above $20

It is the second stop of the Food Trail in Bugis Junction. A newly opened restaurant, replacing the V8 restaurant. The place is known for its handmade pasta and uses local produces for its dish. The best of all, the prices here are wallet friendly as there is nothing above $20 in the menu. You can have a set meal from $16.90.

 TRUFFLE FRIES ($6.90)
Thick cut French fries seasoned with white truffle oil and topped with shaved truffles.
From far I could smell the truffle oil. For this price, I am surprised by the amount of shaved truffles, so much. So big amount, that the fries are stacked up like a Christmas tree.

 SAFFRON & CAVIAR RISOTTO ($19.90)
Saffron infused risotto with char-grilled prawns and scallops then finished with sustainable caviar and fine herbs.
Wow so much caviar. The addition of caviar creates more texture in the dish. These days it is very difficult to find such a well cooked risotto.

 PRESSED PORK BELLY ($19.90)
Melt in your mouth pork belly served with braised apples, garden vegetables and a honey & clove apple glaze.
The pork is very tender. The sauce is fruity and full of flavour. I like the apple cubes very much as they are very soft and melt in the mouth tender.

All desserts at $6.90, when in doubt try the sea salt caramel, you won't regret it!

 Iced Sea Salt Caramel ($6.90)
Sea salt & caramel butter cream, chocolate peanut butter brittle, ganache and popping candy.
Feel like a kid again with the popping feeling in my mouth, as I chew on the popping candy. Sweet with a hint of saltiness.

Overall this restaurant offers very tasty and well made dish at wallet friendly prices.

Remember to check out Platypus Test Kitchen's facebook for promotion. If you are lucky, you could be getting a free dish when dining at Platypus Test Kitchen.

Platypus Test Kitchen first started out in 2010 by Nicholas Lin. He is such a young entrepreneur that has a concept to serve the dishes below S$20.00. He also shared with us that the menu illustration will be the same as what actual serving. Here is his restaurant philosophy ” We believe gourmet foods should be affordable”. It is shown in the menu as well.Foods that we had on that day:-Truffle Fries ($6.90). Thick-cut french fries seasoned with white truffle oil and topped with shaved truffles.

 Spicy ‘Diablo’ Crab & Prawn ($18.50).Served with egg taglioni with prawns and crab claws tossed in spicy egg sauce. The fusion mixed creation with the generous size of the prawns really does attract me at the first sight. True enough the taste does not disappoint me as well.

 Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience with good foods with affordable price. The interior design of the restaurant made us feel comfortable. The design of the comfortable bench seats and the layout of the overall restaurant is more of the modern living style which suits for occassion celebrations.

Platypus Kitchen is running 12 weeks promotion that desserts are served FOC when you dine in their main course. It was third week last week so be sure to pop by when you are shopping at Bugis Junction.They also offers monthly set promotions for both lunch (from $10.90++) and dinner (from $16.90++).

 Truffle Fries $6.90
The very first time I had truffle fries at XX place, I thought it was really good. It was only until this time where I realise the truffle fries the other time was too salty! Here at PlatypusKitchen, thick cut french fries is seasoned with white truffle oil, tossed in truffle salsa and topped with shaved truffles. So many truffles going on here hahaha. But yeah, it's way better and it's only at an affordable price of $6.90!

 Risotto Balls $8.90
As compared to the crab cakes, the Risotto Balls fared better to my likings because of the stuffed mozzarella inside the risotto.
The breaded risotto was served in rich pumpkin puree as well. The soup taste really great and clear, kind of refreshing to pair it with pork belly.

 Left: MOMO-LYCHEE ALE, Right: SMITH'S ALE
$9.90 (ala cart), $6.90 (set price)
Perhaps something new? How about beer cocktails?
My friends were all raving over the momo-lychee ale, because they find them sweeter. I did give both a try, and I guess Smith's Ale is more of those who prefer sourness.

 Spicy 'Diablo' Crab and Prawn
$18.50
Not sure it's named 'Diablo' because the chef plays Diablo... or it's because it describes the 4 different level of spiciness for this dish. Hahahaha. Without any special mention, this will be served at the lowest level of spiciness. However, you may choose to try the different levels! Level one spiciness wasn't really demanding for a person (me la) who can take mild hotness.

Spicy 'Diablo' is also served with Egg Tagliolini, topped with generous amount of crab meat piled at the peak, and fresh juicy prawns within the pasta.

 Pressed Pork Belly

This is something different from the norms because you get to pour the broth over the pork belly. This dish comes with braised apples, garden vegetables and honey and clove apple glaze.

 Saffron and Caviar Risotto
$19.90
Saffron infused and certainly hand-made risotto, inclusive of char-grilled juicy prawns and scallops, this is another favourite of mine. Special mention to the caviar lavished on top of the risotto. It gives a much added taste to the risotto due to its salty nature. The risotto's texture achieved a good level of stickiness too.

Drop by Platypus Kitchen soon! This is one of the restaurants I would really want to bring my friends and family to. The food is really affordable and good.

 Their signature truffle carbonara taglitelle which is supposedly highly raved about, but we all found it to be pretty average. The truffle taste wasn't very strong and the carbonara was quite average.

 The chicken pesto wasn't that great choice as it tasted a little odd, but still v fragrant. I love the texture of the sauce and I find that the pasta is quite nicely cooked. The chicken was in abundance and it wasn't spicy.. The pesto left a good taste in my mouth.

The set meal costs $19.90 including a drink and soup, which was quite alright, just adding $2 or $3 more to the ala carte price. Overall the service was efficient and I find the place good for gatherings.

 Prawns sautéed in olive oil and garlic then finished with fresh parsley.
The prawns were so fresh, chewy yet crunchy. The most ideally-cooked kind of prawns that I love!
